Max Fan will not turn on no humming either

I went to turn on the Max Fan when I started cooking and it would not turn on and doesn't hum.

Anyone have any suggestions.

It was already installed in our Winnebago when we purchased it New in Oct 2011, so not very old at all

Thanks for any suggestions. Wondered if there is a reset on these or something

  • First, the fan should never hum unless your inverter is in real trouble. There is likely a push switch that is controlled by the lid. Lid closed, fan off... Those are also famous for corroding or rusting that will cause exactly what you describe and its a common problem. Short term fix is to go on the roof, grab the plunger and twist to wear off the junk.

    I agree - thermostat, and also, probably has a fuse somewhere, or could be a loose supply or ground wire ...

    If it's not humming, it's probably not getting power at all.
