Video Transcript for Review of Maxxair RV Vents and Fans - Enclosed Trailer Parts - Operator Mechanism - MA10-20281K-1AF
Today we'll be taking a look at the replacement operator mechanism for the Maxxair MaxxFan Plus or MaxxFan Deluxe roof vents. This is going to be a direct replacement from Maxxair for that crucial component to actually open up your vent or fan. You can see when I turn this small portion that little hex portion turns. So that's what's going to open or close our vent and provide us with good circulation inside our RV or camper. This is a fit for the Maxxair MaxxFan Plus part number MA00-04500K or the Maxxair Deluxe MA00-070003 or MA00-0700K. That's for the powered lift roof vent.It doesn't come with any other hardware.
It just comes with the mechanism and then this small bushing to go over that portion there. It will reuse the same hardware to attach this in place. It'll get you back to working with your vent. If you need any other replacement parts for your Maxxair fan, check out etrailer.com for more replacement parts. That's going to do it for our look at the replacement operator mechanism for the Maxxair MaxxFan Plus or MaxxFan Deluxe roof vents..

I am glad my fan is working again. I am surprise the original part was already broken in several pieces. With new part installed, not making loud banging noise and save my house battery from quick discharge. I have backup part for future. 584586

While on a camping trip one of the Maxxair fans in our RV stopped working properly. We ordered the part from etrailer so we would have it when we got home. It was the part that we needed and it arrived two days earlier then the expected delivery date. We were able to get it fixed and we are ready for our next trip. Also ordered a spare in case the other fan has the same problem. Would definitely order from etrailer again. 581631

Over the top, outstanding customer service. While traveling, my power vent opening/closing mechanism failed. After contacting Kim, we weren’t sure the in-stock part was the right part. Kim contacted the manufacturer for me, confirmed it was the right one and shipped it to me express. This is clearly outstanding customer service. I’d give more than 5 stars if it would let me! Thank you! 474677

I had to replace this part a couple of years ago and had to order it directly from Maxxair. They sent me just the part with no documentation. Because of this I believe that I installed it improperly and caused the part to fail. etrailer included complete instructions and I feel this will be trouble free now. Shipping was quick and it was well packaged. Thank you etrailer! 494700

Easy replacement of my operator mechanism that stripped when the lid stuck closed. Came with easy to read instructions showing how to install/replace complete with photos. As MAXXAIR rep told me, hardest part of the job is going up onto and down from the unit roof.....part gets replaced from the top. HINT: If you have a helper, position them inside the unit to move the lid lift arms up and down to better enable getting all the screws out/in without interfering with the arm hardware and position the arms to re-engage the lid...will save you a couple of trips up and down the ladder. Other than that...piece of cake. 519353

The defective operator was in an electric operated roof vent. It would open part way then drop down and repeat several times before stopping. This was an exact replacement. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. Took about about 15 minutes to replace. 576901

Parts were delivered a little later than expected but was not a problem for me and I’m sure it was a post office delay and not a supplier issue. The parts were in good shape and provided with good instructions to repair my roof vents. I was very pleased with my first experience using this supplier. 597500

Product arrived quickly, it was packaged with easy to follow installation instructions. Installation required only a Phillips head screwdriver and small adjustable wrench or pliers. Start to finish repair took less than 30 minutes. Fan again works like new. 568223

Our MaxxAir Fan was skipping when opening and closing. I contacted MaxxAir Customer Service and was told I needed a new Operator Mechanism but unfortunately they were on back-order and a ship date was not available. I checked etrailer.com and they were available in stock. Quick shipping and comes with detail remove and replace instructions that made the process very easy. Thanks eTrailer. 588413

- Troubleshooting MaxxFan Plus Model Operator Install The Replacement Operator Mechanism # MA10-20281K-1AF that you referenced is the correct replacement operator for your MaxxFan Plus model roof vent. Is it possible you installed this in place of where the # MA10-20281K-3CF should have gone as this is a similar operator but installs in a different place. See attached diagram.

- Replacement Operator Mechanism for 4-Speed MaxxAir Vent FanIf you have a 4-speed motor then you most likely have either the MaxxAir MaxxFan Mini or the MaxxAir MaxxFan. Therefore, the correct replacement operator for you is gong to be part # MA10-20281K-3CF if you have a manual lift vent lid or part # MA10-20281K-1AF if you have a powered lift vent lid.
view full answer... - Lift Motor for RV MaxxAir Fan 4501KWe do have the lift motor you are looking for as our part number # MA10-20270 which is the correct lift motor for your 4501K MaxxAir fan.
view full answer... - Replacement Operator Mechanism for MaxxAir MaxxFan Deluxe with Square DriveIt sounds like you have an older model of the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent # MA00-07000K. Repair parts for these older models with a square drive have been discontinued. The Replacement Operator Mechanism # MA10-20281K-1AF will not work with your older lifter arm. I do have a solution for you though. You will need to replace both the Operator Mechanism with Item # MA10-20281K-1AF and the Lift Arm with Item # MA10-20222KS. Check out the vent assembly diagram on page 4 of the Repair Parts...
view full answer... - Operating Modes for MaxxAir MaxxFan Plus Roof Vent MA00-04500KThe 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... - Replacement Operator Mechanism for MaxxFan Deluxe Roof VentThe correct replacement operator mechanism for a MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent is the Replacement Operator Mechanism part # MA10-20281K-1AF. I really wish I could provide you with exact step by step instructions for replacement but the manufacturer simply does not provide these so that I would not be able to obtain this for you. It looks like you have already saw the parts diagram which I have attached for you again below but this is the only aid we can give to help with installation. If you...

For replacement, we have the Replacement Operator Mechanism part # MA10-20281K-1AF if you have a powered lift vent or part # MA10-20281K-3CF if you have a manual lift vent.

view full answer... - Replacement Power Lift Mechanism for MaxxFan Roof VentFor your MaxxFan roof vent you most likely need the Replacement Operator Mechanism for MaxxAir MaxxFan Plus or MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vents # MA10-20281K-1AF. This replaces the powered lift function. It is best to access this from the top like you see in the instructions of # MA00-06401K. This will allow you to access the functions of the unit and then reinstall.
view full answer... - Replacement Operator Mechanism and Lift Arm For 7000K MaxxFan Deluxe Roof VentYes, you can use both the operator mechanism part # MA10-20281K-1AF and the lift arm part # MA10-20222KS to replace the broken parts in the MaxxFan 7000K part # MA00-07000K as confirmed by MaxxFan.
view full answer... - Replacement Operator Recommendation for MaxxFan 7500 Powered Roof VentSounds like you have a damaged or worn out roof vent operator and need to replace it with the part # MA10-20281K-1AF since you said the motor doesn't want to fully open or close the lid and it's difficult to turn by hand.
view full answer... - Motor On MaxxAir MaxxFan 4900K Roof Vent Will Not Shut Off When Lid Is ClosedI spoke with MaxxAir about the issues you are having with your MaxxAir MaxxFan Roof Vent and they informed me that the gears inside the lift motor have gone bad so you will need to replace this with the Replacement Lift Motor for Maxx Fan Plus Roof Vent part # MA10-20270. I was also able to confirm that the Replacement Operator Mechanism for MaxxAir MaxxFan Plus or MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vents part # MA10-20281K-1AF is correct for you so that is not the issue.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting MaxxAir Vent Powered Lid that Won't OpenI've attached the owners manual for your 4900K model which is similar to the # MA00-04500K model. It sounds like your operator mechanism is bad according to my tech contact at MaxxAir. For your 4900K model you will want the Replacement Operator Mechanism for MaxxAir MaxxFan Plus or MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vents # MA10-20281K-1AF. If you can't even manually lift the lid, this mechanism is definitely the issue.

- How to Fix Clicking Noise Coming from MaxxFan Deluxe Roof VentThe clicking noise that you are hearing from your MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent # MA00-07500K or # MA00-07000K actually means you need to replace the Operator Mechanism # MA10-20281K-1AF. I reached out to my contact at MaxxAir who confirmed this.

- Troubleshooting MaxxAir Maxxfan 7000K Making Noises When ClosingI reached out to the manufacturer and their tech said he is confident the operator mechanism is what is causing your issue. You will want part # MA10-20281K-1AF to replace this and fix the issue.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting MaxxAir Roof Vent that Pops When Attempting to OpenWe've spoken with Maxxair about a similar issue as yours in the past and they told us that the issue was a bad operator in your Maxxair Roof Vent. For a replacement you'd want the part # MA10-20281K-1AF. This is the mechanism that raises and lowers the lid.
view full answer... - MaxxFan Roof Vent Replacement Operator MechanismYou did not specify the part that you have but I assume you have the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent # MA00-07500K or MaxxFan Plus Roof Vent # MA00-04500K. There is not a "switch" for these vents and the only replacement part I can think of that could potentially remedy the situation is the Replacement Operator Mechanism for MaxxAir MaxxFan Plus or MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vents # MA10-20281K-1AF. This would be if your current mechanism is somehow damaged or faulty so you will want to be sure that...

- Solution for MaxxAir MaxxFan that Clicks and Fan Won't Shut OffSounds like your roof vent lid isn't closing all the way when you ask it to which is why the fan isn't shutting off and also explains the clicking of the operator as it's trying to close it. In the past we've seen similar issues to this turn out to be fixed by replacing the operator with the part # MA10-20281K-1AF which is correct operator for your MaxxAir MaxxFan.
view full answer... - Trobleshooting Lid Lift Function on Maxxair 7500 FanSince the lid motor on your MaxxAir 7500 vent with powered lift # MA00-07500K is operating but the lid stops midway unless you give it some manual assistance the issue is either power-related or the result of a damaged operator mechanism # MA10-20281K-1AF. My tech contact at MaxxAir said that the behavior you describe is often related to low available input power. The vent will detect if the incoming operating voltage is low or marginal and it will stop the lid opening. This is a safety...
view full answer... - MaxxFan Plus Roof Vent Cycles a Few Times After Vent is ClosedIf 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... - Can I Replace Operator Mechanism Of MaxxFan From Inside The TrailerNo, the whole fan assembly like part # MA00-04500K would need to be removed from the roof, leaving the inner frame. Then the unit would need to be disassembled to get the operator mechanism to replace it with part # MA10-20281K-1AF. I have attached an exploded diagram that shows the pieces of a MaxxAir Fan for your reference.

- Repacement Roof Vent Operator for MaxxAir 00-05100KThe Replacement MaxxAir Operator Mechanism # MA10-20281K-1AF you referenced is compatible with MaxxAir MaxxFan Plus # MA00-04500K and MaxxAir Deluxe # MA00-07000K or # MA00-07500K powered lift roof vent. As long as the center drive is hexagonal, the correct replacement operator for your MaxxAir Roof Vent model # MA00-05100K is item # MA10-20281K-3CF.
