Blowing Fuses

imo it needs looking at by a qualified spark!

sounds very much like the fan. possibly gone tight and drawing excessive current. think they're trying to get out of the guarantee.

So is the manufacturer correct that the problem is not with the Extractor and the warranty for the unit runs out in a few days

This is not a problem. If you log your complaint about the item within the warranty time scale, it is still valid. You can still get a sparky in the test the supply, FCU and the fan. If the fan is faulty you are entitled to have it repaired or replaced by the manufacture/retailer. Call them back and log your warranty claim, get it checked out by a sparky and get a new one if it is the fan itself.

I then put a 13 amp in it as it was the only one I had available and it blow that too

and after it blew the 13 amp fuse what did you use then .... a nail??

Seriously though, I think the fan is running tight and this could be due to it needing to be cleaned out.

Over time, they get clogged up with grease, fluff, dust & other debris which prevents the fan from spinning freely.
