I already have panasonic 80CFM and want to upgrade to the 110CFM model can I just replace the motor without taking the housing out too?

I do not know. It has been a long time since I installed this fan; it seemed better suited to new construction rather than remodeling.

Yes. The 110CFM motor will fit in the 80CFM housing as long as they are both the same model revision (i.e., VQ5 etc).

Sorry, but I have no idea. 80CFM should be enough for normal circumstances. 110CFM would use more electricity and be louder.

There are two motors--one moves the round pan and one moves the conveyor. Both are just a couple of screws to replace. Super easy. Petsafe has sent me two new ones at no cost to me. Once this is out of warranty, I will look at replacing them with a better quality motor. I have found those for less than 10.00 on the Web. Mine lasted for 3 months and 6 months, respectively.

I'm sorry l don't know the answer to that. You will have to contact Panasonic.

The only type of an upgrade that would be available for these Apache 109Gs would be a 200mah battery, or it's possible that if you ordered replacement motors, you might get an upgraded version. Other than the higher capacity battery, which I recommend, I don't know of any other deliberate upgrades. It's an excellent machine, it would be very difficult to improve upon!

You can add a motor to this model? Do you know where I could find one of those?

I don't know if you still need it but I saw one that looks like MR400 series at Ebay. It seems the motor may be interchangeable. You can call the manufacturer to confirm.

No. The motor is wired for 120Volt. If you have 220 volt power, Festool from Europe, Australia, India or South Africa distributes 220volt tools. Alternatively, you could get a step down transformer, 2500watt, to downgrade 220 volt to 110 volt. REMEMBER that 110volt works at 60 Hz while 220volt works at 50Hz. So the machine will run slower when you run it from 220 volt through a transformer. In short, if you have 220volt, buy 220 volt tools. They are superior to 110 volt.

No. But you do have to take apart the FICM. Ther are videos on how to test and replace on a popular web sight. This part only replaces the voltage booster portion of the FICM. IF YOU have no idea what these things are you should reserch it in depth or let a professional fiz it for you.

Do not know however if Panasonic has not offered a replacement my guess is that this is one thing you will not have to worry about. One additional thought: the cost of sending the unit to a repair shop for them to get into the watertight case and replace it would probably exceed the cost of replacing the unit.

Yes, the motor and fan wheel are connected and can easily be removed from below the unit (take the plastic light lens off to access the motor & fan wheel) --no special wiring skills needed either--just unplug the old unit and plug in the new one.

I bought 2 one of them already got burned when i turn it on I think because the voltage. is it possible to replace it with different item at panasonic local sotre in Qatar , or I have to return it from the original source i bought ?!

The housing of the 40v might fit but I would not want to burn up the motor with a higher voltage battery.

You can manually put motor into v2 instead of v3. That is another weakness of this set up, but one wich does not affect me that's why I didn't mention it in my review.

no. you can`t. if you need this machine, you should buy the machine with 220v. i think you`d better ask Panasonic[220v]

I would think you could get a PDF file of the manual from the Panasonic web site. I will check on that and also try to look for mine in the next week or two.

you can change the rotaion of the motors by swiching tghe wires around, been there done that
