"Unless the fan has stopped working it won’t need replacing. Just get someone to give it a good clean inside so the fan works at full power.
Hope this helps"

"You can try a small piece of toilet paper and see if the fan is sucking. A lot of the time it’s cause the fan is clogged up with dust. If your not able to do any of these,I would change it before condensation causes damp in your bathroom"
