Turbine vent doesn't turn most of the time ?

If the fan works sometimes and not others, it's likely the thermostat is turning it off when the temperature drops below the cutoff temp. If the attic is still hotter than it should be when it turns off, adjust the thermostat down by turning the recessed white knob on the control box to a lower temp with a flat screwdriver.

Not sure I understand your question. The fan's on/off is controlled by the thermostat switch which is attached to the fan. You set what temperature you want the fan to turn on/off and it will operate at that temperature.

Is it thermostatically controlled?. If so check if the temperature setting is too high for your requirements.

Mine works great. You must have already tried adjusting the thermostat on the small electrical box that is attached to the fan. Actually my fan turns on at the right time, but fails to turn off soon enough for my taste. This is because the hysteresis is a bit much. I hope this helps, stay cool.

The Air vent folks replaced the unit promptly and provided excellent service followup with me!

On the model that I have the fan can be turned on seperately, but not by the timer. It must be done manually.

i believe this is a common problem on exhaust vent dampers. the adhesive allows the foam to shift causing it to bind on the damper sides. you might open the unit, remove the foam tape and install a new one. or another way to resolve the problem is to gently increase the damper-spring tension (to allow the damper to open with less "wind pressure".

Mine was installed by a contractor as well, but your issue sounds like a valve problem where it is not closing completely when you turn it off. There are many reasons this could happen, the valve could be bad (warped, cracked, etc.) in which case I'm not sure how you would replace it or it may just need adjusting. Have you contacted the manufacturer?

My Fantastic Vent is bi-directional and pushes or pulls air very well indeed. Highly recommended. It comes with a remote control unit and there is a knurled knob on the vent itself for manual opening and closing of the vent; I have never needed to use that feature. One minor quirk of the remote control is that vent closure is not instantaneous. It takes 5 to 10 seconds to start closing and the fan keeps going during most of the closure. Look at the knurled knob. Once you see it start to turn, the fan hatch closure process has begun. I am quite satisfied with my purchase. If you are traveling in a hot and dry climate, you might consider the Turbo Kool swamp cooler unit. It runs off 12VDC power and uses water to humidify and cool the incoming air. I have a Turbo Kool over my bed aft and a Fantastic Vent in my bathroom forward in my 21 foot toy hauler trailer. One quirk of this unit is that it must be level, else the water will keep dribbling out the top reservoir and eventually drain you water tank. Highly recommended. http://www.turbokool.com I hope this helps. Best, Rodger Morris

Not sure why, mine turns fine. Did you turn your nossle itself slightly to make sure it has a good connection in the wall and turn the on/off button on the handle to on??

It takes a simple quarter turn counter-clockwise. Make sure the manual override lever is lifted so it is not bearing down on the valve actuator, that would make it pretty hard to turn

I bought this model about 3 months ago and I think it is a great choice. Being able to switch directions is worth the whole price. If indeed your problem is a fuse, it should not be a big problem. However, if it occurs again, I would suspect there could be something not quite right with the fan(s) themselves. Try a new fuse and see what happens. Don't forget that if the unit is operating in a closed space (like one small room with doors and windows shut) it has to work harder. Make sure that something is open.

It mostly only turns on when you've used some hot water. Otherwise, it's off most of the time.

In my experience, that sounds defective. It should turn if the knob is loosened. It should only unscrew if the knob is tight.

When you first turn on the fan, it will not oscillate at all; if you want it to rotate, you have to press a button to choose between 60, 90, 120, or 360 degrees. It's a good fan, I'm glad I purchased it.

I mounted it so the exhaust port was on the left by turning the entire fan around. Had to add additional blocking to support it. No way to simply flip the housing.

mines still in a shed from October so I haven't seen it in a while, but I had a problem too theres a choke and a fuel switch, play around with the fule switch. I think mine was backwards maybe or something

Mine do every once in awhile, but it's never bad or continuous. It just happens when a little fluid gets under the vent.

The Vent Miser opens & closes at the times you previously set. It does not matter what the temperature is.

I havent had that problem so far at least. There is a big vent on the left side and little ones on the bottom (covering the fan etc I believe). I don't know if this will let me upload a picture. I turn this off a lot more than I did my pc though, just because it starts again pretty instantly.

Hi Mike, I didn't have this problem but make sure all your crimps at the connections are tight. Also make sure your stainless steel radiator probe is positioned near the radiator inlet or upper hose as it may be. It should be pretty straightforward and maybe the module itself is defective. Good luck I'm sure you'll figure it out. By the way these fans do a great job and I've noticed no heating problem since the installation in fact it almost runs too cool.Dan
