MaxxAir Fan Repair & Preventing Condensation from (re)Damaging Electronics - Manly Man Skills

Manly Man Skill #2 - Preventing Condensation from damaging our MaxxFan again. While on our way south this winter our MaxxAir fan straight up lost its mind. The water condensing on the lid was dripping down onto the circuit board and pooling in the IR receiver dome and it was freaking out, opening and closing as if someone was pressing all the buttons constantly.

I pulled the fuse and pulled it apart to find that there was corrosion on the PCB (Printed Circut Board) and the IR receiver had nearly eroded it leads off. In this video, I show how we cleaned this up and protected the MaxxAir PCB from further water damage by using a conformal coating to coat the board.

If you have a similar fan and have plans to use it in colder weather I'd suggest covering the PCB in Conformal Coating, E6000 on the ribbon cable and drill a small hole in the IR receivers' clear dome.

This is further manifested evidence as to why we chose to not have windows... this happened even though we had the insulated pillow covering the fan. Then once I heard that Bill had the same issue, I was inspired me to make a video showing how we addressed this issue.
