You will first need to determine if your current fan operates from AC or DC electrical circuit. I suggest you first look for markings on the fan itself as this is the easiest method. If there are no labels providing this information, review labels of breakers on your electrical distribution box, you will have an AC and DC side. Identify which breaker operates circuit your fan and determine if this is on the DC or AC side. You may also use a multimeter such as the Digital Multimeter,... view full answer...
The MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent # MA00-07500K is reversible, which means you are able to both exhaust stale air out of your RV and bring fresh air in from the outside. To enter ceiling fan mode, close the vent while the fan is still running. The fan then circulates the air inside your RV like a ceiling fan. view full answer...
The most common problem when a fan like the MaxxFan Plus Roof Vent part # MA00-04500K will run the fan but won't open is the Replacement Rain Sensor for MaxxAir RV or Trailer Roof Vent Fans part # MA34FR . I would first attempt to clean the sensor really well and check for operation. If it works your good to go. If it doesn't use the replacement sensor listed here. view full answer...
You could possibly be losing voltage after the switch so I recommend checking the power at the fan # 344410TSDC36BNOKCY itself to ensure it's actually receiving 12v power. The switch could also be the issue since this component is what controls the fan's speed. It could be receiving a full 12v but not actually sending out a full 12v to the fan. The switch can be replaced with part # 344410TSSW12V.
I also recommend checking your ground as this is typically the cause of most electrical issues. view full answer...
Put a multimeter to the circuit that you connected the fan to, you probably discover it to be 12V DC. A typical household fan, such as purchased at the big box store home improvement places will be 120V AC motors, not 12V DC; two different animals.
If your RV has 120V for typical household appliances that is because you have an inverter for those outlets or they function only when on shore power. The fans are set to operate off of 12V so that they will still operate when you are boondocking,... view full answer...
A Replacement Wall Switch # 344410TSSW12V may or may not fix your problem. It will come down to what exactly is causing the switch to overheat.
If the 12V RV Ceiling Fan like # 344410TSDC36BNOKCY is pulling more power than it should do to a damaged fan it will cause the new switch to overheat as well. You will need a Multimeter # PT89ZR to test the power going to the fan motor. This fan is rated at 20 watts of 12 volt power which will be 1.67 amps of power(be sure to check your fan for... view full answer...
The MaxxAir MaxxFan Plus Roof Vent # MA00-04500K has a powered lid which closes automatically when the rain sensor detects moisture or when you use the remote control or keypad. The fan on this vent will continue to run even with the lid closed if the unit is set to operate in the selectable ceiling fan mode. Operation of the fan is also controlled by the thermostat setting.
I suggest making sure you do not have the ceiling fan operating mode engaged. view full answer...
The statement of MaxxFan Plus Roof Vent, # MA00-04000K, lid not opening while fan running caused me to think your setting is in ceiling fan mode. However, if you cannot open the lid, even manually, then you have an issue with the operator mechanism. The Replacement Operator Mechanism for MaxxAir MaxxFan Plus or MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vents, is # MA10-20281K-1AF. view full answer...
The clicking noise you are hearing in your MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent Item # MA00-07500K is the operator mechanism. Unfortunately it cannot be fixed and should be replaced. The replacement part Item # MA10-20281K-1AF. As far as the fan not shutting off, that could be the mode you have it in. There is a manual mode and an auto mode. The auto mode allows the fan to run when the temperature changes depending on the thermostat setting. Also there is a ceiling fan mode which allows the fan to... view full answer...
Your Furrion Chill Replacement RV Air Conditioner Item # FR26PR freezing only after a few hours of use is probably due to the freeze censor not being installed correctly to the cooling fins. The freeze censor detects when the unit starts to freeze and the censor tells the unit to switch it to the fan to keep the lines from freezing.

If you have the MaxxFan Plus Roof Vent # MA00-04000K installed then it would make sense that the fan would continue to operate with the vent closed as this acts as a ceiling fan when the vent is closed.
Should you have a different MaxxFan just let me know what the model is and I can look into it further. view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at MaxxAir regarding your vent like the MaxxFan # MA00-04500K. He said what you are experiencing might be caused by a short in the rain sensor. Since that light is coming off and on, this is likely the issue and what is also causing the fan not to turn on. He recommended taking a rag with some rubbing alcohol and simply cleaning out this sensor. Hopefully once it is cleaned out, everything should start working again as normal.
If you are still having issues, please... view full answer...
I recommend using a separate 12-volt battery installed on the trailer to provide power to the interior lights/fan. The 12-volt accessory power circuit can be used to provide a maintenance charge to this battery, but the alternator on the tow vehicle and the limited gauge of the wire feeding the circuit will prevent enough power from getting through to charge the battery if it becomes depleted. When alternative power is available, you can use a charger like the # NOCO Genius # 329-GENIUS5... view full answer...
If your MaxxFan Plus 4-Speed Roof Vent with White Lid # MA00-04751KSX isn't lifting electronically or manually then your lift arm or operator # MA10-20281K-1AF is most likely broken and would need to be replaced. The gear inside these are notorious for breaking so the knob is most likely just spinning inside the broken gear.
If the fan is kicking on without the keypad connected then the motor is somehow getting power to it activating it. These fans typically get tied in with the wiring... view full answer...
You may be able to find the short in your wiring, as I was unable to find a wiring schematic available for your 1997 Shadow Cruiser. This is something that is unfortunately normal with these older campers as the records are often when manufactures are changed.
I always start by checking the connections at the roof level for the fan. As this is the area where water might get to the connectors the easiest it makes a good place to start your search. You want to check for any exposed wires... view full answer...
Dip 4 will need to be placed in the "on" position in order for the signal to pass from the controller in your Furrion Chill HE Replacement RV Air Conditioner # FR58PR to the furnace. On the single zone controllers the first two dip switches are missing so dip switch two would technically be Dip 4 on the diagram and would control the furnace. You said that you have this on so the next thing to look at would be the wiring.
Is the connection point between the furnace wire and Furnace +/-... view full answer...
To prevent the overall temperature of the actual AC Unit to affect the temperature reading, the fan is designed to run all the time. There is a sensor located in the return air intake side of the Atwood Air Command Rooftop RV Air Conditioner # AT15028-22, which blows air from the inside of your RV onto the thermostat.
This feature cannot be turned off as this is designed to get the most accurate reading of the interior temperature of your RV. The fan button allows you to switch between... view full answer...

Starting with reprogramming the remote on your Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan and Remote - Powered Lift - 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" # FV807350 you will need to hold the remote 12" away from the fan while holding both arrows. The Auto and Manual lights will begin flashing immediately. Continue holding both arrows down until the seven LEDs flash once. After that it is now programmed.
If programing the remote does not change the issue with the fan working intermittently... view full answer...
Since your MaxxFan Roof Vent, like the MaxxFan Mini Plus Manual RV Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan # MA00-03851 will turn on, but won't turn off, it sounds like your circuit board.
I recommend replacing your circuit board with the Replacement Printed Circuit Board for MaxxAir Powered Lift RV Roof Vents w/ Reversible Fan # MA10A21275K. view full answer...
First remove the shroud on your Advent Air RV Air Conditioner - 13,500 Btu - White Item # ACM135 and see if the fan will move freely, you could have something locking it up. If that isn't the cause and you're getting proper power to the motor, like you said, then you will need to replace it and will have to reach out to the manufacturer for the replacement. view full answer...
