Maxxfan Deluxe Repair

[Samwise-100]

Hi All,

Just a quick one to see if anyone knew of anyone/anywhere who repairs Maxxfans? I recently bought a van which had one (Deluxe) fitted but i never tested it and, after spending months converting the van, found that it doesn't work. There's no power at all. Thought it worth a bit of investigation before shelling out £300+ for a replacement.


Cheers

Sam

If you put a rough location in your profile it would help recommendations

Good point Richard & Ann. Profile updated.

I'm located in Barnsley but travel nationally for work so open to any recommendations, cheers

Maxxfans are still relatively new so not surprised there are no dedicated repairers.
But in reality they are only a reversible various speed 12v fan so a half decent electrician ought to be able to troubleshoot it.

have you checked theres power to it could be a fuse or never connected

Sorry, should have mentioned that i've checked wiring and tested it direct from a power source to narrow down the problem. It's definitely the unit itself, cheers

Even if the circuit board is kaput the motor can be used with a £10 ebay speed controller so don't throw anything away. I fitted one on our kitchen ceiling fan, (a new board would have been £80)

We're away until October ish but I can have a look at it when we get back if you haven't found anybody. We're near Chesterfield

Thanks! I'm not in a mad rush, and would rather try fix it by any means than throw money at a new one. If you wouldn't mind dropping me a message when you're back, that would be great, cheers

Did you manage to fix this?

My Maxxfan has just stopped working. Fuse working and cables receiving power so it must be the dreaded cirsuit board issue that loads of people have discussed online, including youtube tutorials on sealing the new circuit board:

BUT these are all in the US, not UK, so I'm wondering how people in the UK managed to fix it, 1. where to buy the new circuit board and 2. how to moisture seal, as the products recommended don't seem to exist on UK amazon Amazon product ASIN B000IC7ZQ2
Can anyone help?
