silent gravity bathroom exhaust?
The bathrooms in our new(ish) place have what look to be regular exhausts on the ceiling. There's a switch on the wall. But it seems obvious they don't work. It stays steamy in there, and there is no noise whatsoever. I contacted the previous owner to inquire, and she said they are "silent gravity exhausts" and that they definitely do work. She said you keep the switch on and then they just do their thing when they sense pressure?? I tried holding a piece of tissue next to them after a shower and I saw no suction whatsoever... Anyone know about these?? And who do I call to have them looked at/fixed?? Thx!

Silent, gravity, pressure-sensing exhaust fan?
Nah.

I think they have those on the space station.

Sounds like BS to me. Most likely the fan motor died or it's not hooked up to the switch at all. Do you have duct work exiting outside the room? I can't tell you how many times I've see these fans blowing moisture right inside the wall. Ideally you want the fan exhausting to a fresh air source.
