Why your commercial kitchen hood is won't start
Here's how won't start typically presents on a commercial kitchen hood: unit completely dead, no lights, no response. Door switch, control board, or power issue. Nine times out of ten it comes down to a failed start capacitor.
Most likely causes
- Tripped thermal protector
- A blown line fuse
- A power supply or wiring fault
Quick check — and when it's not DIY
One thing you can rule out on your own: 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. Past that point, 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.
