Solution to Replace Remote on Fan-Tastic Vent 6600R-417 Without Replacing Entire Unit

Updated 04/29/2026 | Published 04/28/2020

Question:

We need a replacement remote control for our fantastic fan 417, which, apparently, is no longer available. Rather than buy another entire fan assembly which would need removal from roof and, possibly, future rain all leaking, can we buy the fan replacement for 3350? Would that work? And would it come with a remote?

I do have a solution for you that doesn't involve replacing your entire unit, but the Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent # FV803350, does not have a receiver built into it, so it doesn't have the option to operate through a remote. Therefore, using its replacements parts get you what you need.

Take a look at the Fan-Tastic Vent Roof Vent Assembly Upgrade Kit # FV807359. This has everything you need (includes remote) to basically replace the "guts" of your Fan-Tastic Vent 6600R-417 unit and upgrade it to have all the features of the # FV807350. I confirmed through my contact at Dometic (Fastastic Vent) that this confirmed to fit your existing unit.
