Solution for Fan Tastic Roof Vent 417RF with Broken Remote
Question:
My 417rf controller does nothing when I push the buttons, no lights, no response from fan. I have changed the batteries, it didnt help. My fan does not have a reverse, will the fv9068-81 still work as a replacement? When I pulled the fuse, opened the lid, then replaced the fuse the fan spun momentarily then stopped and the lid came down, so Im pretty sure I need a new controller, what do you think?

Expert Reply:
Fantastic Vent did update the remote control component of their vents back in January of 2014 so older units like yours cannot use the current replacement remote # FV9068-81.
The upgraded vent model to replace yours is part # FV807350 which has a 12V fan motor, thermostat, powered lid lift feature and the remote is included. If ever needed, replacement remote # FV9068-81 is the correct one for this vent.

I have a bad 417RF remote on a Fan-Tastic vent on my 2013 Arctic Fox. I understand the newer replacement remote will not work and the fan needs replacing. Is there a replacement that doesn't need the entire set up contained in this referenced # FV807350 ? I just want what is needed to get it working again.
