FANTASTIC FAN?????

have a bathroom fantastic fan and i think the lift motor gears striped since when i turn it on the motor turns but the fan does not open.... part 6051-05 (motor) is there a way to make this hand operational and use in just manually? looks like the gears are worn on the motor part. thanks for any help on how to fix this...

    Does your fan have a Knob? If so try pulling it either out or in. One of the positions will allow you to twist the knob to operate the lid.

    Yes i saw that on the newer motors, mine is a older one and doesn't have that feature. thanks

    Lippert bought them. I don't believe the after the sale mantra is the same now. Probably won't send you anything unless you pay for it... in advance.

    Not so fantastic fan now.


    Had many lift motor problems - they just sent me a whole new remote controlled fan unit - my motor home is 7 years old
