No need to go on the roof. Unscrew the trim ring on the inside and you'll see the wires there.

Although it is true that some models of the Fantastic Fan are reversible, I am unaware of one being factory installed on the POD.
The only way I am aware of reversing the direction of a DC fan is to reverse the connection leads on the fan itself.
It would not surprise me, at all, to discover that a fan was wired in reverse on a POD.

Just purchased a 2015 Rpod 179, we are going thru it and have questions. Like the FANTASTIC FAN in the wet-bath. It blows air into the wet-bath. Is this right? I think not. Supposed to suck air out of bathroom. How does one fix this? Although still under warranty I'd just as soon fix it myself. I guess I'm going to disassemble it until I can get to the wires- then swap them. It looks like I might be able to get on the roof and reach them. But next 3 days are torrential rain so I'll wait for better weather.  RoadToad & Ms Badger The Toadj Me-Haul
