My Kool o matic did not survive the I-40 whoop de doo's on the trip home. Two of the rubber in shear vibration isolators sheared completely and the third one is fatigue cracked. Motor bearings appear to be dragging a good bit also.Anybody have the max air, and is it a pita to change out, or can I reuse the existing wiring?
I have a removed kool o matic in my possession. Motor assembly? Thermostat? Have to look if you are interested.
Wow Bob is that the one from your post 3 years ago, I thought it was long gone by now.
Kool O Matic rubber isolation bolts are a common available part also used in PowerTech. Others have found and posted replacement motor part number. Also motor may be oiled and replaced.
Yes never did anything with the parts
I have no direct knowledge for this, but this pn was posted on the blog several years ago.
Kool-o-Matic Fan Motor
NAPA part number is 655-2378
a replacement switch PN: 119-9910 for the Kool-O-Matic fan.
Good Luck, Dave A
That's still the correct NAPA number. I replaced mine last year. Here's a link to my post which contains links to a couple other motor replacement posts. motor (http://www.foreforums.com/index.php?topic=31139.msg273065#msg273065)

Replacing the Kool a Matic with a Fantastic Fan was one of the first things I did when I bought our coach last year. Two reasons were difficulty in finding parts and the fact that I could not find a way of properly insulating it. I accessed the wiring through the cabinet above my microwave. I had to bypass the termostat, since the new unit had one built in, but left it in place to cover up the hole.
It was not a simple job, due to the difficult access (short cabinet) to the wiring and identifying them.
And if you boondock the Kool-a-matic use 4amps while the Fantastic Fan pulls just over 1. My Kool-a-matic is due to come out later this year for that very reason.
see ya
