Chances are that timer gets its power from the same circuit which serves
a bathroom outlet. It may already be a CFCI protected circuit, and then
you're home free. But if it's not, and you're lucky about how the wiring
runs, you could replace the outlet with a GFCI one and have it protect
the feed going to the timeras well.


I tried, no such luck. The outlet is GFI, but the main light switch
and fan timer are not connected to it. Oh well, nothing comes easy.


My solution was to add a conveniance outlet on the wall opposite the
light switch using a gfci and route the feed there first and then to
the light swich and fan on the other side of the wall.
