Missing screw on Maxifan

Can anyone tell me the size, type and length of the screw that is missing from our Maxifan?

Thanks,

Bob K

Made me look! There isn't a screw in that hole in my 2014 built trailer. I've never removed anything from the MaxFan. AND, don't remember finding a screw on the floor at anytime...

I just went out and looked at ours. No screw but it looks like a tiny led light. I’ve only had the screen off to clean it and the blades.

Thanks. I never found a screw myself, but then I thought we could have missed it. Now I can put my mind to rest on this.

Bob,
That is the sensor for the thermostat that can be used for Auto mode where the fan will adjust speed automatically to maintain the trailer at a set temperature.

Wow! Thank you for that information. We have lost a few screws in our Escape over the years (not to mention our minds) so the fact that there is a circular indentation around the hole made us think it was from the head of a screw. We can put this concern to rest.

Reace told me “ Now listen, this button marked on/off on the max fan is the only one you’re qualified to run. Leave the rest to your wife!” I just drive, set up on the outside, eat her excellent cooking and maintain the running gear. Thanks for the whole clarification.
