gerstboh Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I have an 86' belair.. and after plugging it into 110, I noticed that a fan keeps cycling on and off in the compartment under the fuse compartment. it seems to be doing it between longer intervals of time.. I cant seem to find a switch to turn it off,, what is this fan for ? and is there a way to disable it ? I dont wanna run up my electricity bill because I am plugged into my house electric... I thought it was the furnace but it never gets cold here so i made sure the furnace controls werent on ... any help would be greatly appreciated thanks Glen in sunny Key Largo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Hi Glen, I believe that the fan you are referring to is the cooling fan in your converter. I replaced the original 6325 converter in my 85 Sunrader with a Xantrex TRUECHARGE RV converter. The fan cycles as necessary to cool the converter.

Maineah Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Sounds like your cooling fan for the converter. They sense temp of the converter/charger electronics and cycles on and off as needed so if you happen to be running lights and it's charging the battery at the same time it will cycle more often. It's normal and the little fan draws such a small amount of power you would never see it on your power bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
