I'd put my money on the salt atmosphere. A blow drier definitely wouldn't help.

You can use almost anything from Shellac on up to dedicated and expensive circuit board coatings. You should avoid spraying items like heat sinks etc., not everything should be coated.

I wouldn't give up on it yet. Try taking a hair dryer or heat gun and give the circuit board a really good warm up. In addition to the chriping our push buttons became non-responsive, couldn't turn...

I received my new circuit board for the Maxxfan from Airxcel. Good of them to stand behind their product. Best way to contact them is by email, not phone.

I think that my problem was moisture...

OK, thanks for that. I was hoping that a trailer manufactured in Aug. 2019 would have the newer style board.

Since it's still on warranty I'm hoping that they will give me an updated version.
