fantastic fan thermostat replacement

[shadoow]

my fantastic fan thermostat needs replacing. Has anyone used a regular thermostat instead of the fantastic fan brand, something like a Honeywell from Lowe's or wherever???

The thermostat is an analog type so should be able to change out with a digital.

But does it also have switch for 'In' & 'Out' direction of fan......mine does.

definitely digital.

My thermostat only has the slider switch on top

i figured not all wires would match since the home thermostat has wires for heating and cooling, but maybe i could just use the ones for cooling.

If so you would need to delete that option OR install another switch for reverse/forward control of fan

Why not give Fantastic Vent Company a call 1-800-521-0298.
They use to be REALLY good about sending out replacement parts for free but that was before they were bought by Atwood.
Still worth a free phone call.
