I bought an AC Infinity Cloudline T4 fan a few years ago ($120) that uses a temperature probe, the fan uses pwm, and has done great for my solar air heater I have. The programmable controller even allows 2 separate fans to be plugged in. I wanted to also bring the air to another area so bought another the other day. Same model, same company, they looked identical, I would later find out just how much they aren't.
So I plugged my old and new fan into the new controller (since it has 2 ports for 2 fans) turned it on and my old fan has never worked again. Looking at the fans, even though they look identical they made a change the new fans run at 24v and the old 12v... so I plugged my 12v fan into 24v power!
Each fan is $120, but worse they removed the feature I need from the new programmable controller so I need the 12v fan working. I opened up the fan, no fuse. There's 4 wires that go directly into the fans motor, I don't think it has a circuit board I think the programmable controller has the circuitry. Do you think I burned out something easy to fix? Again, the new 24v controller is working perfectly with the 24v fan in both ports so I know there's nothing wrong with the controller... but plugging the 12v fan into it's original 12v controller where it used to work yesterday the fan doesn't spin... has to be something I burned out in the fan itself. Thank you!
