Fantastic fan problem

[luvglass]

We have a Fantastic fan with thermostat and rain sensor. I went to turn it on the other night and the cover opens when I move the thermostat switch, but the fan doesn't turn on.
Any ideas what could be causing this?

Thanks,

Fantastic Fan has had perhaps the BEST reputation for supporting their products of any supplier of RV stuff. There are many stories on here and elsewhere of actually getting to talk to an actual person who knew what they were talking about. And the "no problem, we'll send you one of those" at no cost and without even asking how old the fan was (been there, done that).

I didn't know that they had been "acquired" by Atwood. Let's hope they don't screw it up. It would be a great tragedy to see one of the seemingly few bright lights in the RV equipment industry go dim!

It wouldn't be very smart to do it very long as it could come back and bite them in the rear. People sometimes have long memories.:S

It is a simple make or break switch on the ground side of the circuit.

Well then, I've been lucky, it's been 7 1/2 years. 🙂
Thanks everyone for the comments. A little brushing and WD 40 did the trick.

Unfortunatally.......fantastic fan appears to have been bought,or changed.......But......I just dealt with them a month ago.

I had purchased a "REPLACEMENT FAN",1 year ago,so,everything was 100% covered........So,make sure....you are within the warrenty period,from now on.

I SPOKE with an actual person, and she asked me if it was a replacement fan,I had purchased recently.........I had indeed.:W

Question? How does a lifetime Warranty get limited to 2 years?

When they were owned by regular folks the service was second to none. Atwood bought FantasticFan, and Atwood's service is not the same.

Check the position of the 'forward-off- reverse' switch on the fan.

Funny, I emailed the link from the support page and it bounced. I think a lot of things have changed.
