Kool-O-Matic ceiling Fan

Anybody know where/if the fuse is for the fan. How do I determine if I have 12V or 120V? Nothing indicates either. And now the fan doesn't come on when I manipulate the controls, and the fan did work last fall B4 we put it in storage.

It's a 12v fan. Probably a fuse on your year coach.

FWIT, my fan didn't work once, and only once. It worked before that and has worked ever since. I have a feeling that there was a temporary problem with the thermostat.

You can take the inside grill down and then when you turn it on try to give it a spin. It might just be stuck from sitting.

Well, I finally deduced what was wrong with my Kool-o-Matic Fan.
At the foot of the bed, in the little 12V panel, I found that the 15 Amp fuse was blown. It is fuse location #8 and I didn't/couldn't see that the fuse was blown UNTIL I took the fuse out and held it up to a light. The blown spot was difficult to see when the fuse was in its holder and in the stack.
Changed the fuse, went into the kitchen and tried the fan control and everything works!!!
Thanks for all the suggestions. I was getting quite frustrated after the issues with the new toilet, the water pump relay, and my back going out and preventing me from crawling around and searching out for the solutions.

Could be something in the fan, like a bird nest or something.

OK, here is what I think happened. Some dumbass (no names here) hooked up a Positive (+) cable to a Negative (-) cable when bringing the coach back to life in a dark pole building. Sparks flew, the cable got very warm and the dumbass (again, no names here--I got enough problems)  tried it AGAIN!! Finally figured it out, with the use of a flashlight.
Seems that little screwup also caused the water pump relay to go bad, along with the Kool-O-Matic kitchen fan fuse.
Hopefully all good now.

Be glad your year coach doesn't have any high end electronics, they would have fried too.
