Video Transcript for Replacement Lift Motor for Maxx Fan Plus Roof Vent Spec Review

Ellen: Hey, everybody. I'm Ellen here etrailer.com and we're going to be taking a quick look at the replacement lift motor for your MaxxFan Plus roof vent. So if something's happened with that roof vent, it's gotten damaged, or it's just not working anymore, but you don't want to replace the whole thing. Everything else is working just fine. This is a way to keep that fan working for many more years without having to take out that whole unit and replace it with a completely new fan unit system. So let's take a closer look and make sure it's the right fit.

Just has this little plug that goes into the connection to the rest of the fan. And we'll have our two arms to connect into those mechanisms to lift and lower that vent lid. Works with several different models of fans. The list of those is on our product page here at etrailer.com so you can check with that to make sure that yours is a match for it. And this will be for obviously the electric fans, not the manual.It does not come with any mounting hardware so you will need to reuse the mounting hardware from the original to get this in place.

But that's really about all there is to it for our look at the replacement lift motor for your MaxxFan Plus roof vent. Hope this video's been helpful in deciding if this is the right part for you. We do have a lot of other replacement parts available here at etrailer.com and we also do have new fan units as well. So if you need to go down that road, we got you covered. Thanks for watching..

Another quality product from China, this one is already leaking oil just like the other 2019 motor. Oh well etrailer is still a fantastic place to do business unfortunately the RV industry builds junk.

@Scott glad to hear it!

My husband and myself installed this ourselves and went exactly as planned and continues to work well one year later. Glad we couldn’t find someone to do this for us. Would have cost us so much more because they wanted to replace the whole A/C unit!

It’s been a year and the fan not AC as I said in error in my original post is working great. So glad we did this ourselves!



by:

Part fit was exact. Shipping was adequate but due to stock issues. Part came in reasonable amount of time. Company kept me informed on status the whole time.



by:

The motor arrived early and was an exact match. Installed the motor with 3 screws and all works great. The biggest problem was finding the model number of the fan. It is located underneath the bug screen.



by:

Thanks for the update and nice comments.
You
companies service has been great.

I bought a operator mechanism last year thru Amazon and other supplier.
It failed after 2 weeks but I didn't install it till 30days had passed and my claim was refused.
Reading reviews these units seem to be very unreliable.

I chose ETrailer re stock, price and the 60 day term hoping it might be made better.

I went on the roof to install my 1st order from you and found it looked the same.
I couldn't see a problem with the one I had. Installed yours and guess what, it wouldn't work either.
My neighbor has lots of experience with these fans.
Explained how the motor works and how high voltage (friction) is how it stops.

My knob has been very tight to move manually.
So it turns out my 2013 motor is the issue. He had a spare and loaned it to me and everything now works the way it should and the knob and gears are easy to turn.
My second order is to replace his and I will now have a spare for my second fan that will be a 2013 original.
10 years life on the 7500 Deluxe unit isn't something I'll complain about.

Thought this might be of interest to you.



by:

Arrived on time, exactly what I ordered.
Very
pleased, will use again.



by:

Products received timely. My MaxxFan works again!



by:

Well they are replacement parts, So there's not much to say about them except I'm Glad there was a "used" option for 1 of the items to help with the cost. My disappointment is with the MaxxAir fan that REQUIRED these parts after only just over 2 years with LOW use hours! MaxxAir really needs a better warranty for such a (supposedly) top of the line fan with a Top Price to go along with it! Or maybe offer the parts at a lower price point! I struggled with the decision of buying the parts or just getting a whole new fan! I opted for the parts ONLY because of the extra work it would have been to remove the calking & mounting bracket stuff. As it was I still had to do some pretty involved disassembly & R&R work to replace BOTH a bad lift motor AND broken ( Pot metal) Operator Mechanism!!! NOT impressed with my Maxxair roof vent AT ALL!!!!



by:

Just what I needed to complete full remote operation to the Maxx Fan in my ATC toy hauler. The fan cover could be opened and closed manually, but I really wanted it returned to remote control use due to the distance was a little too high for my wife to reach. Great service and good products at reasonable prices, thank you so much!



by:

Exact fit and connection, easy to install and started right up. Good product.



by:

This lift motor is just about dead and struggles to lift the cover every time we use the vent. Not sure if we got a bad one or if these motors are just junk. I guess they only last about a year and now I've got to think about purchasing another motor or just using the vent manually....



by:

Fast service, correct part!



by:

As advertised fit was perfect, always a pleasure dealing with you.



by:

Good product, USPS was a bit slow getting it to us.



by:

Old gearbox locked up. This gearbox boltin placeand works well.



by:

Got exactly what I was looking for thank you very much



by:

The motor is exactly what I ordered and replaced the old one but my fan still doesn't
Work. I must have an electrical issue. I'll keep this one as a backup tho.

The package arrived ahead of schedule and I am pleased with that. We are full time RV'ers
and will come to this site as something else needs to be replaced.



by:

Everything is working perfect thank you. Exactly what we needed!!



by:

I received it three days after I placed the order. Had it installed in less than 30 minutes. The tricky part is matching the small aluminum sleeve to the two splined shafts for a proper fit.



by:

I received the correct products in the proper freight time. The tracking progress was very good and kept me up to date on the delivery. This was my first experience with etrailer.com. You will be my first call on future needs.
Thank you.

  • Replacement Parts For a MaxxAir MaxxFan Deluxe 8951K
    We do not carry an exact replacement unit for the MaxxAir Deluxe 8951K. We have the Smoke # MA00-07500K or White # MA00-07000K which would be the closest replacement. These fans use the same lift and fan motors but the control panels and circuit boards are going to be different so you would not be able to swap all the parts. Here are the replacement parts for your fan if you want to try changing out certain components. Also be sure to first check the power going to the fan as if the voltage...

  • Solution for MaxxFan Roof Lid that Stopped Opening with Switch
    Sounds like the lift motor needs to be replaced as it's no longer able to raise the vent lid. For that you'd want the part # MA10-20270. Since you are able to lift the lid manually it wouldn't be the operator. If this were the problem it would either make noise like you mentioned or wouldn't allow you to manually lift it.

  • What Causes MaxxAir Maxx Fan Lid Not to Open or Close
    The two most likely causes of a MaxxAir vent fan lid not opening or closing are either going to be a lift motor or operator failure. I recommend removing the motor and applying power directly to this to see if the shaft turns. If not, you know the motor is bad and needs to be replaced for which we have the Replacement Lift Motor for Maxx Fan Plus Roof Vent part # MA10-20270. If the motor works properly then it's most likely a bad operator for which we have the Replacement Operator Mechanism...

  • Motor On MaxxAir MaxxFan 4900K Roof Vent Will Not Shut Off When Lid Is Closed
    I 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.

  • Replacement Fan Motor for a MaxxFan 4951KS On a 2021 Grand Design Reflection
    I spoke with MaxxFan and they said that is a fan motor causing the problem. The fan motor has an internal amperage short so when you increase speeds, the motor amperage is higher and the circuit board will close the lid and stop the fan. So all you're going to need to do is to replace your lift motor with the Replacement Lift Motor for Maxx Fan Plus Roof Vent # MA10-20270.

    You reported that you cannot use the remote on your MaxxFan 4700K to put the vent cover up and down. Let's troubleshoot. Put some new batteries in your remote. Ensure that the display comes on. Verify if your vent cover now works. Verify if other remote functions work. If it is not your remote we can consider the following service parts. First let's perform a reset. Disconnect the 12volt power source from the fan circuit board for two minutes then reconnect and test again. Many times...

  • Installed New Circuit Board and Control Panel On MaxxAir MaxxFan and Lid Will Not Open
    It sounds like your Lift Motor # MA10-20270 or Operator Mechanism # MA10-20281K-1AF may be faulty. If you remove the motor from the operator mechanism you will be able to test and see if the motor turns when disconnected or if you can manually operate the mechanism to get it to open.

  • Determining if Lift Motor or Circuit Board is Problem for MaxxFan RV Roof Vent
    In order to test the motor on a MaxxAir MaxxFan # MA00-04000K you'll need to supply power directly to the motor itself; if the motor works when it receives power directly from the battery then the issue would be circuit board. The circuit board would be part # MA10A21276K and the lift motor would be the part # MA10-20270.

  • Troubleshooting Vent Lid On MaxxAir MaxxFan 4500K Not Opening With New Circuit Board and Lift Motor
    I reached out to MaxxAir as I was stumped since you had replaced both the parts already. Their tech said you will want to first check the voltage going into and coming out of the Circuit Board # MA10A21275K with a Meter # PT29ZR where the lift motor plug is on the circuit board. If the voltage is not 12 VDC coming out of the board then the board is bad. Then you can also get a separate power supply like a 9 volt battery and run some lead to the lift Motor # MA10-20270 to see if it rotates...

  • What Would Cause Two RV Roof Vent Lid Motors to Not Be Able to Lift Lid
    What's the condition of the battery that is powering the lift motor? It sounds like it needs to be charged and that's why it's not lifting the lid with either motor. Otherwise check wiring and make sure there's nothing obstructing the lid from opening.

  • How to Get to Replacement Lift Motor on MaxxFan RV Vent
    While I don't have direct instructions about replacing the Lift Motor # MA10-20270, I can tell you how to gain access to the lift motor. You want to start by removing the screen on your MaxxFan. This is done by rotating the 4 locking tabs 180 degrees (red arrows). Once the screen is out of the way there will be 4 screws that you see. Remove them as well as the screw from the manual lift knob (green arrow). After you do this the bottom panel of your vent will move freely down and you have...

  • Troubleshooting MaxxFan MA00-07500K Deluxe Foof Vent Fan
    I spoke with the folks at Airexcel, who ran through a few different troubleshooting scenarios with me. As a first step, disconnect power to the fan for a few minutes, then reconnect power to reset the circuit board. If that fails to solve the problem, there are other things you can check. Can you operate the lid manually with the knob. If you cannot, it's an indication that either the mechanism is jammed or the lift motor is shorted out and needs replacing.

  • MaxxFan MA00-4500K Vent Lid Will Not Open
    As a first step, disconnect power to the fan for a few minutes, then reconnect power to reset the circuit board # MA10A21275K. If the fan fails again it could be the circuit board. Your rain sensor could incorrectly think rain is present on the rain sensor # MA34FR. Unplug rain sensor, leave unplugged and try again. If it begins working, it could be the sensor. If you cannot open the lid manually it may be a jammed or stripped operator # MA10-20281K-1AF, or the lift motor is shorted out...

    You will need to test the wiring to determine if the Lift Motor # MA10-20270 is getting power when you press the remote. This will help you determine if the motor is bad or the Printed Circuit Board # MA10A04751KS on your MaxxAir fan. A Test Light # PTW2993 will allow you to check the wiring without having to disconnect the wiring.

    The MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent, # MA00-07500K probably has a faulty operator mechanism or lift motor. The correct replacement part number for Replacement Operator Mechanism for MaxxAir MaxxFan, is # MA10-20281K-1AF. The Replacement Lift Motor for Maxx Fan Plus Roof Vent is # MA10-20270.

    It sounds like you could be referring to either Replacement Operator Mechanism part # MA10-20281K-1AF or Replacement Lift Arm part # MA10-20222KS which are both fits for a MaxxAir 7000K Roof Vent Fan. If you need a different part let me know but these are all that's available for the lifting mechanisms aside from the Replacement Lift Motor part # MA10-20270.
