# Sirius lights flashing three or six times: the remote code was changed

Sirius RC001 remotes share a preset code with the hood.

## What LEDs flash 3 times (or 6 times) actually means.

Sirius RC001 remotes share a preset code with the hood. If two hoods nearby interfere, you can generate a new code, which is confirmed by three LED flashes, and the manual gives a factory configuration reset confirmed by six flashes. Either one permanently deletes the preset code.

What to do when LEDs flash 3 times (or 6 times) shows on the range hood

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

The hood is doing something it was told to do, not wearing out: a delay-off timer that keeps the blower running for some minutes after the burners go off, a heat sentry that starts the fan by itself when it senses a hot pan, a Sabbath setting that locks the keys and dims the lights, or a link to the cooking surface that sets the speed on its own. No part is needed; a key sequence from the manual, or simply waiting, ends it.

### Usually leads to No repair

After a new code, cut the hood's power, restore it, and within 15 seconds press the Light button so the hood learns the code.

### Shows up as Reading a Range Hood Error Code or Blinking Light

A range hood error code may appear as letters and numbers on a display, a light that blinks in a pattern, a filter reminder that will not clear, or a beep with the fan refusing to start.

### Make Sirius

Sirius range hoods get a home visit that opens with the question of whether the air leaves the house or comes back through a filter.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Sirius's own guidance for LEDs flash 3 times (or 6 times) on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

After a new code, cut the hood's power, restore it, and within 15 seconds press the Light button so the hood learns the code.

02

Replace the remote battery once a year, as Sirius suggests, if the range seems short.

03

If the remote still will not work, book a visit to check the receiver.

### Cleared?

The code is gone and the blower pulls steam up on every speed again without a new part. If it returns this week, or the filter reminder keeps coming back right after a cleaning, mention it in the booking.

### What not to do

The flashes are not an error or a sign the hood reset itself. If every button stays lit rather than flashing, that is the filter reminder.

## What you may notice with it.

The range hood problems LEDs flash 3 times (or 6 times) tends to arrive with. Answer these at the range hood before anyone is booked.

## Nothing to repair.

The hood is doing something it was told to do, not wearing out: a delay-off timer that keeps the blower running for some minutes after the burners go off, a heat sentry that starts the fan by itself when it senses a hot pan, a Sabbath setting that locks the keys and dims the lights, or a link to the cooking surface that sets the speed on its own.

Sirius builds this

### Wall-mount range hood

The chimney hood fixed to a bare stretch of wall above the burners, its canopy catching the rising smoke while a telescoping cover hides the duct that climbs to the ceiling.

Sirius builds this

### Under-cabinet range hood

The slim hood screwed to the bottom of the wall cabinet over the burners, venting up through that cabinet or back through the wall, or cleaning the air and returning it to the room.

Sirius builds this

### Island range hood

The hood that hangs from the ceiling over burners set into a kitchen island, open on all four sides, with its duct and wiring hidden inside a chimney that drops from above.

## Questions about LEDs flash 3 times (or 6 times).

### Can I clear LEDs flash 3 times (or 6 times) myself?

After a new code, cut the hood's power, restore it, and within 15 seconds press the Light button so the hood learns the code.

### Why does my Sirius remote control my neighbor's hood too?

Both use the factory code. Generating a new code on one remote, then letting that hood learn it, separates them.

### How does a Sirius hood learn a new remote code?

Switch the hood's power off and on, then press the Light button within 15 seconds.

### How often should I change the Sirius remote battery?

Sirius recommends every year to keep the range.
