Subject: [WanderlodgeForum] Powertech 15kw cooling fan

The first thing that I would is check that there is power to both legs to the
fan motor.If both legs are hot then I would guess that the motor is bad.When I
replace my motor
I got it from Granger.

Just got back from a trip to Oregon. The cooling fan on my Powertech
generator seems to have quit working.

In the few days before the failure, I was noticing a very serious
(but transient) amperage draw on leg one accompanied by dimmed lights
in the coach. These lasted from one-two seconds up to about 10
seconds (infrequently). At first, I suspected one of the AC units --
but the problem didn't occur on shore power.

Finally, the generator would run for 20 minutes or so -- then just
quit-- with the water temp gauge showing a high temperature. After
allowing an hour of so for cool down, the generator would start up --
and run for awhile until the temperature got too high again.

The water is full up (as it has been). Oil is OK -- and so on.

However, the fan simply doesn't cycle on.

I searched the archives -- but there don't seem to be specific
discussions of what to do when the fan simply doesn't work. (I'm
guessing I have to replace the fan motor.)

Any comments and suggestions where to get a replacement fan motor?
