Lias Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Hi I am trying to install a Maxxfan 4000k plus to replace original vent in bathroom (1994 winnebago). Everytime I try to connect it it blows the 15 fuse. When I disconnect and put new fuse without connecting fan the lights on its side work. Should I go up to 20 fuse ? I've replaced my lights with LEDs if that makes difference. I have original power converter too. I'm not electrician..just trying to DIY. Thanks in advance.

WME Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 The Maxxfan draws about 10 amps when starting. BUT it draws NO power when off, so there should be no fuse blowing. Are you sure its OFF? Possibility of a mounting screw shorting out a wire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lias Posted April 27, 2020 Author Share Posted April 27, 2020 Thanks for your reply. I swapped out again with original vent and found that the fan was defective. Returning and replacing with a Fantastic Fan 1250 instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
