Today we'll be taking a look at the replacement operator mechanism for the Maxxair MaxxFan Plus or MaxxFan Deluxe roof vents. This is going to be a direct replacement from Maxxair for that crucial component to actually open up your vent or fan. You can see when I turn this small portion that little hex portion turns. So that's what's going to open or close our vent and provide us with good circulation inside our RV or camper. This is a fit for the Maxxair MaxxFan Plus part number MA00-04500K or the Maxxair Deluxe MA00-070003 or MA00-0700K. That's for the powered lift roof vent.It doesn't come with any other hardware.
It just comes with the mechanism and then this small bushing to go over that portion there. It will reuse the same hardware to attach this in place. It'll get you back to working with your vent. If you need any other replacement parts for your Maxxair fan, check out etrailer.com for more replacement parts. That's going to do it for our look at the replacement operator mechanism for the Maxxair MaxxFan Plus or MaxxFan Deluxe roof vents..

Replaces the operator mechanism for your MaxxAir MaxxFan Plus or MaxxAir Deluxe powered lift roof vent.Got the replacement (2nd shpmnt) with instruction pamphlet and all parts as originally expected. 1st shpmnt came missing part and no instructions. In fact, 1st shpmnt was not enclosed in MaxxAir packaging. Made me wonder.....? When I questioned the missing part in the 1st shpmnt, I got the same reply from two different people at eTrailer. Must have been looking at the same computer screen. Some times one wonders????????????
Received the part fairly quickly and was able to install it without any problem. The instructions were good. I hesitate to give it higher ratings because it appears to be made from the same materials as the original which pretty much disintegrated after 4 years of very little use. Time will tell.

The Maxxair part continued to work all the way up until the time that I sold the RV!
Perfect replacement for my Maxxair 7500K exhaust fan. It came with good instructions with pictures:-) The hardest part was climbing up the ladder of my motorhome.
Well they are replacement parts, So there's not much to say about them except I'm Glad there was a "used" option for 1 of the items to help with the cost. My disappointment is with the MaxxAir fan that REQUIRED these parts after only just over 2 years with LOW use hours! MaxxAir really needs a better warranty for such a (supposedly) top of the line fan with a Top Price to go along with it! Or maybe offer the parts at a lower price point! I struggled with the decision of buying the parts or just getting a whole new fan! I opted for the parts ONLY because of the extra work it would have been to remove the calking & mounting bracket stuff. As it was I still had to do some pretty involved disassembly & R&R work to replace BOTH a bad lift motor AND broken ( Pot metal) Operator Mechanism!!! NOT impressed with my Maxxair roof vent AT ALL!!!!
Exact part. Easy parts look up and checkout. Communication from e-trailer on order and shipping status, part arrived early.
Easy to follow direction booklet included. 10 minute installation and 10 minutes of cleaning Maxxair blades, rain sensor,vent cover, shroud and Maxxair hood. In addition I used a seal cleaner and conditioner to renew vent cover seal. Vent cover was sticking before which may have led to part failure.
Vent works just like new!
Pictures show broken part and new part.
Thank you to all staff at etrailer for your efficiency in getting parts to customers.

Shawnee was very knowledgeable about this operating mechanism on our rv max’s air fan, she saved us a lot of money and time by providing us with a part instead of replacing the whole unit. She is a great asset to Etrailer and I will continue purchasing parts as needed. Thank you Shawnee!
Perfect fit and instructions. Both hard to come by in this day and age. Thank you
WOW! Not only was this the exact replacement part, but the videos you provided were SO helpful and a perfect match for the job! The original wasn't just broken, it was literally shattered into 3 pieces! First time doing business with etrailer but it certainly won't be the last!
All as advertised. Easy self install and no issues with the operation of the fan. Clear precise instructions. Good product!
This Replacement Operator Mechanism was exactly what we needed to make our MaxxAir Fan work like new. It was easy to install (after watching a couple of YouTube videos)
It was a smooth process to order from etrailer but it took awhile for them to get it back in stock. etrailer was great & kept us informed of the whole process It was shipped out to us fast once they got it.

Our MaxxAir MaxxFan replacement operator Mechanism is still working great & we were happy to be able to find it at etrailer. Easy fix for a fan we use all the time in the RV.

Was easy to replace both my maxxair fan openers and 1 year later both fans still open and close.
Excellent help to get the parts I needed to rebuild my bathroom ceiling vent fan. Shipping was accurate and a sooner than anticipated. Parts were exactly what I rqd.
This part literally split down the middle on a trip and stripped out the drive to lower the bathroom vent. The entire Maxxair vent is complete junk and I have replaced 2 motors, 3 plastic bezels and 2 fan blades due to warpage plus the metal drive unit. This Maxxair unit is only 6 years old, why would anyone have to replace this many parts?? etrailer sent these new parts out in a timely manner in good condition. Thanks etrailer.
Easy install, fit perfectly. Replacement time took about 1 hour setting up and cleaning up time.

The Maxxair replacement gearbox worked perfectly, easy install.
Our old MaxxFan operator mechanism had cracked in half. This item, MA10-20281K-1AF, was the part needed to restore our fan lid functionality. The replacement operator came with a new internally splined shaft but it was too small to fit our existing motor. We had to reuse the splined shaft off of our old operator. We took away one star because of this and because these parts are so cheaply made. We don't open our vent often and feel this part should not have broken this soon. We took away a second star because it's also very overpriced.
Works as advertised - Easy to install and there have been no issues to date. I'm using the trailer at least 3 weeks a month so the fan gets routine usage.

Im not exactly sure how the original part broke, but it did. This replacement part felt and looked stronger than the original. I had to climb up on the roof but it was a fairly quick and easy install. Part worked great. I was using the trailer for a solid 18 months with no break - so that vent opened and closed countless times without fail.

Perfect replacement part and etrailer was helpful selecting the correct part. Very cheaply made from pot metal,should have been made to last longer.
The part (x3) was on backorder for several months before I finally received it. Otherwise Etrailers customer service was always sending me updates on the status of the part until I actually received delivery.

The part was easy enough for me to install myself on the MaxxFan airvent. To date the part is still doing what it is suppose to do lower and raise the arm of the airvent and no breakage has occured.
This is the first time I replaced this part. The instructions provided were excellent. Install took me 30 minutes. Next time will take me 15 minutes now that I know what to expect. Install was from top of the roof.
Lynn at Etrailer was very helpful making sure that I had the right product and even provided manufacture contact #
Issue resolved and I’m a happy Camper
Thank you Lynn

The Maxxair vent cover 1 yr later is working perfect and as intended. The fan in the vent has a rain sensor and before the cover was installed we could not open the vent during rain or till the sensor is dry The vent is above the stove so while cooking that used to be an issue not being able to open the vent during rain. The Maxxair vent cover nicely solved that issue. If this is a problem for you then I highly recommend the vent cover
The MaxxAir replacement Operator Mechanism was exactly as advertised. The part was out of stock nationwide from the manufacturer. Upon receipt of my order staff at etrailer made contact with me to notify me of the back order and to offer an alternative part. The alternative part would not work for me so I chose to wait. etrailer did a great job of keeping me informed with regular emails on the status of shipment from the manufacturer. I highly recommed ordering from etrailer. They are a very responsible distributor and their pricing is always competitive.

The MaxxAir Replacement Operator Mechanism continues to work great one year after installation. Our trailer has two vents and I replaced the operators in both. Apparently the aluminum operator corrodes over time, which causes it to deteriorate and crumble. The replacement parts appear to be holding up well.
Easy replacement vs replacing entire maxx air fan.
Seems better built than the original. Time will tell how it holds up. There is quite alot of pressure on the mechanism. easily replaced the original.
My power vent wouldn't work, so I got on the roof of my RV and discovered that the Operator Mechanism was broke. I order a new one from etrailer and it's is still working great.

It still works great after a year of use.
4 stars because an inherent problem has never been corrected. That being said, after all these years the Mfg'r still isn't putting spacers under the operating gear. Consequently it is impossible to properly install without creating undue torque on the gear which makes it crack. It is NECESSARY to put a couple small washers between the gear and the base before screwing down. Failure to do so will cost you another round of gears in the near future. If you choose to ignore this, well, so be it. (Could not get camera close enough for a clear picture).

So far so good. I was a bit skeptical at first because is arrived without the coupler. Customer service implied I was not being truthful. Their position was, no way, not us but finally sent a replacement.
