Electrical contractor installed wrong switch type for a bath fan with motorized door, and replacement SPDT switches are momentary, requiring the user to hold the switch, which is confusing for homeowners selling the house.

Existing SPDT switches for bath fan motorized doors are momentary and return to center, forcing users to hold the switch to keep door open/closed, which is unintuitive.
