With Electric down, I just plugged my 12 in. fan into the XPower 200 PLUS after 15 min. the unit started to mum loudly.....and the fan stopped....is that as long as it will work before charged again

without knowing age of unit, I suggest replacing the motor. Sounds like the armature is worn the bearings and is moving inside the windings of the motor. I would do that first before moving forward with any other repairs.

You need a 12 Volt AC/ 1 AMP (1000ma) charger. You can use one with a lower ma rating but it will take longer to charge. The factory unit will take 35 hours to fully recharge a totally discharged battery. If you use your car's cigarette lighter it will take 3 hours if you're charging and driving. Good Luck!

If it sounds like the fan is hitting something, It is likely you will have to get a step ladder, and look closely at what is making the noise-
Likely something fell in there-- and needs to be removed.

When you shut the thermostat down, does the fan stop instantly?

where can i find a wall charger for my zantrex 200 charger.

Try Ebay, sometimes they will have aftermarket ones listed
Go by the output and the style plug in for yours with the model name of your system

Try holding down the stop button for more than 3 seconds. This may be able to reset the unit. You do not have to unplug it for 15 minutes to reset it, just hold down the stop button.

That would be agood place to start. Try starting the unit and pressing your finger over the head and see if the pressure guage builds air you will only be able to hold it for a few seconds but just to see if its compressing air. If so its fine and check the connection where it is adding air to..

Capacitor, dirty condencer coil causing the motor amps to run too high. But most likely worn bearing on blade side of motor causing it to pull to one side causing it to over heat and shut down. Sleve bearings should have no side play.

Seems that it has a defective engine temp sensor. This is a very bad problem. It also requires a special socket to remove the sensor. Good Luck!
