[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are your kids actually running the fan?  Is the fan properly vented?  We haad this issue and discovered that it was vented into the attic, not outside.  Had it installed properly and then wired to the light switch so noboy could forget to turn it on.  Solved the problem.[/quote]

OP here - yes the fan is always on. Always. The window stays open until the evening - 12 months out of the year. The temps here range from 50* at night to 80* during the day.  The fan butts up against and exterior wall, I put my hand under the output vent outside while the fan was running and air was coming out.  The attic is not involved here.

We're going to put in a portable fan today to see if it helps. [/quote]

Get a 20" box fan from Amazon and put it in the window, blowing out. [/quote]

The window is not large enough, but more than anything the window is inside the shower so that's a big no-go.  We put an oscillating fan in there this morning, let's see how it goes! [/quote]

I think you're significantly underestimating how much air you need to move. [/quote]

I'm not significantly underestimating anything.  I know we have an issue.  I know there's a ton of moisture in the air that is not able to move and clear out. We tried the oscillating fan yesterday which we were pretty sure would not help but we wanted to at least try it.  It did nothing, of course.  Our current exhaust is rated at 110CFM, as one of the other PP's stated we need a more robust one.  So going to look for that now as our next step.  [/quote]
