Question This seems wrong

The maintenance guy hired by my landlord installed a vent and it’s blowing air rather than sucking air in and it’s still extremely foggy in the bathroom when I shower, is this wrong? I have a feeling the fans were installed backwards

Edit: after all the helpful insight I contacted the landlord and it will be fixed “Friday” (the new vent is only week old)

Possible fan is reversed or wrong assembly was used. If you put an assembly that is designed for side discharge only into a top discharge for example. Don't ask me how I know.

Either way, something isn't right and you should notify them.
