What Motor stops during high-heat cooking
actually means.
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.

What to do when Motor stops during high-heat cooking shows on the range hoodKind of codeHeat 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.

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 asReading 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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Sirius's own guidance for Motor stops during high-heat cooking on its range hoods. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
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 there is no fire, turn the heat down and give the motor time to cool before switching it on again.
If the motor stops at normal cooking heat, or smells hot, turn off the breaker and book a visit.

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.

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.
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.
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.

Three things make the booking useful: the letters or blink pattern exactly as they showed, the full model number from the label behind the filters, and whether the fan still moves air on every speed. With those, the technician arrives with half the answer already worked out.
