Sirius builds a thermal overload into its hood motors that switches the motor off when it senses excessive heat. Sirius warns against cooking that sends flame up toward the hood for this reason. The motor can run again once it has cooled. Sirius range hood display · also shown as thermal overload What to do when Motor stops during high-heat cooking shows on the range hood ### Kind of code Heat and grease sensors A sensor inside the canopy has stopped telling the control a believable story: the heat sensor that starts the fan when the air above the burners gets hot, or on some hoods a sensor that reads grease or steam to set the speed. One that reads hot all the time keeps the blower running with the burners long cold; one that reads nothing leaves the automatic mode doing nothing. The sensor, its wiring and the canopy around it are checked at the visit. ### Usually leads to Range hood heat sensor repair Testing the sensor that starts the fan by itself when the burners get hot, so the hood starts when it should and stops when the heat is gone. ### 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. ### Source Sirius installation, care and use manual for wall range hoods (USA) Stated in the Sirius wall, island, built-in and SUF6 under-cabinet manuals. ## Before you book, in this order.

It usually turns into [range hood heat sensor repair](https://rangehooderepair.center/services/range-hood-heat-sensor-repair/). Book with the code and the model number. ### What not to do This is not the 4-hour automatic shutoff, which happens after long quiet running. A motor that will not start at all when cold is a different problem, not the overload. ## What you may notice with it.

Check for fire first: turn off the burner, cover a burning pan with a lid, never use water, and leave and call 911 if flames reach the hood or cabinets. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why did my Sirius hood stop while I was frying? Its thermal overload senses excessive heat and shuts the motor down to protect it. Lower the heat and let it cool. ### Is it safe to flambé under a Sirius hood? Sirius does not recommend cooking that generates flame under its hoods, partly because the overload can cut the motor. ### How long before a Sirius motor restarts after overheating? The manuals do not give a time; let it cool fully. If it keeps tripping, have it checked. --- **[Read on the site: Sirius blower stopping during high-heat cooking: the thermal overload tripped](https://rangehooderepair.center/error-codes/sirius-thermal-overload/)** **[Book a visit with RangeHoodeRepair.center](https://rangehooderepair.center/schedule/)**
