It should be a 12 volt fan operated by an on off switch. Do you know where the switch? I'd check for power there first.

Are new newer models 12 vdc ceiling fans? My older one was 120 vac.

Anna01 - It helps to get more accurate help with problems if you put your year model and floorplan in your signature.

The OP has a 2012 model (per their Profile) so it is a 120V fan. There is a paddle switch on the control panel that supplies power to the fan. Is the 120V there?


Oh yea, add the year and model of your RV to your signature to ease figuring out a problem.

I should have looked there.

Any chance you switched it off on the fan itself?

We had the paddle switch go bad. It would work as long as you pressed the switch in the on position. Our switch was of poor quality. It is the same configuration that are used in cheap mobile homes. Keystone saved one dollar using it instead of a regular household switch.

There should be a large rectangular rocker switch on your wall near other switches. Mine was white.

If that doesn’t turn it on, the switch on the fan may be off.

So anna01, did you read the answers on your original post of this problem (pointed to by Foldback in Post #2 above)?????


The forum requests you only post a problem one time to ensure all the answers are together for future users.

My switch is in the power center, bug switch up high. You will need to try any switch you find AND try the fan switches usually brass chain pull types to make sure both are on.
