For those who like to understand how things work, our "How Does Your Home Appliance Work?" piece walks you through the basic mechanics of everyday gadgets, offering quick troubleshooting tricks for common hiccups. The extractor fan post shows you a simple checklist to confirm whether the fan is pulling air correctly, and what to do if it isn’t.
