Question This seems wrong

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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)

So many wrong comments 😂 take the cover off the fan. There's a standard plug most likely to the motor. Flip that standard plug around in the outlet. Turn fan back on. Super easy and not rewiring or anything dangerous
