Why is my extractor fan humming but not spinning?

A humming fan that does not spin often has a failed capacitor, seized bearing or obstruction. It should be switched off until repaired.

Drips usually come from condensation in an uninsulated duct, a blocked condensate drain or a duct sloping the wrong way.
