[QUOTE="steptoe, post: 392987, member: 7"] What sort of light is in the bathroom, and does the fan come on with the light,? Fans in general do not like dimmer switches, there are some exceptions to this, but generally it's bad. Also, some types of lamp are not generally dimmable, again, some exceptions, as above. Hang on, Just re-read it, On the dodgy dimmer it seems you may have mixed up the looped live, try swapping one of the two browns with the other single one. Or, could be a switching neutral somewhere, tbh, it's not easy to diagnose from afar, but probably only a 10 minute job. [/QUOTE]
