Why your Halton commercial kitchen hood is won't start

Most likely causes

- A blown line fuse
Known Halton commercial kitchen hood weak points
- Capture Jet plenum balancing and nozzle fouling reducing capture

- water-wash solenoid, detergent-pump and nozzle clogging on WW hoods
- M.A.R.V.E.L. sensor drift and VFD/controls faults locking fan speed
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
Start here — it costs nothing and rules out the easy cause: check the outlet and breaker, and confirm the door is fully closed and latched — many units won't start at all with a door safety switch tripped. Also, try a different outlet if one's available, to rule out a dead circuit rather than the unit itself. If that doesn't fix it, a control board fault has to be tested with a meter against the service manual — swapping the board on a guess is an expensive way to be wrong.
