Parts for KoolOMatic Fan

93 U-225

I just ordered a new grill and cover for my 225. It has the KoolOMatic RV-12 above the stove. If you need a new one, now's the time to get it done as the owner, Paul, advised me that he has only seven of the grills left. I got the contact information from Barry's site (what a goldmine that is!). Anyhow, the phone number is 269.683.2600. No credit card, just a check. The grill is about $50 and the cover is about $30. I also got a spare 3-way switch and three isolators (rubber cushions).

For those that may be considering replacing their grill with a new one: I received my nifty new Kool-O-Matic grate, cover and switch. There's a hitch, however. The grate had a crude hole drilled in its center and the switch had one pole sawed off. I just talked to Paul (used to be President of Kool-O-Matic before they went out of business in 2006). Anyhow, he said only a couple of coach manufacturers used the wall thermostat and the two speed. He routinely cut off the third pole as it was causing confusion in the field. Most of the units sold were controlled by a three speed switch that was controlled by a knob in the middle of the unit. The rest of his grills are all drilled and all of the switches have the pole cut off.

I don't need the switch right now but if I ever do, I'll have to solder that connection. I'm going out this afternoon and see if I can find some kind of nifty plug to cover the hole.

Take the grill to Lowes or Home Depot. 

Find a push in plastic plug that will fit the hole.

As I recall, I had to paint the plug (Fusion paint) to match.  You may even find a white one!

Thanks guys. I picked one up at Ace yesterday but the one that Barry recommends looks pretty nifty. Might use it instead.
