Re: 1994 u240 bathroom fan not working Reply #3 – November 22, 2021, 03:23:54 pm Nowadays they're a standard size, 14" x 14" I believe. I can't speak to what's in your 94. I was able to find a replacement motor on etrailer.com on my last rig. I've also had the control board go out in one... wasn't able to fix that but managed to bypass it completely and just wire a switch in. Quote Selected

Re: 1994 u240 bathroom fan not working Reply #9 – November 25, 2021, 11:25:16 am Brett, do you have a multimeter? Can you use it? If yes to both, start testing before you spend any money.That's a 12vdc fan, so check that you have 12vdc coming to it. Then follow the wires (or check the schematic) and check at each switch. If power is present all the way, then replace the motor. If one of the switches is bad, replace it and continue. Quote Selected 2 Likes
