Admiral Exhaust hood Repair – Massillon, OH (Commercial)

We responded to a commercial kitchen in Massillon for an Admiral exhaust hood with no power going through the switch to the unit. The data plate was faded very bad and couldn’t be read, but our diagnosis revealed the issue wasn’t with the hood itself.

The Problem

The customer reported no power going through switch to unit on their Admiral commercial exhaust hood. The data plate was faded very bad and couldn’t be read, making model identification difficult.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection, we found the contactor switch overload had tripped. It appears that it was tripped when a transformer burnt out in the neighborhood, causing a power surge that affected the hood’s electrical system.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts needed
• Work performed: Reset contactor switch overload
• Result: Hood restored to full operation

Is It Worth Repairing?

Admiral commercial exhaust hoods are built for durability in restaurant environments. When the issue is simply a tripped overload protector rather than component failure, repair is definitely worthwhile. These units can run for decades with proper maintenance.

Maintenance Tips for Admiral Commercial Exhaust Hoods

• Check and reset overload switches monthly as part of routine maintenance
• Install surge protection to prevent electrical damage from power grid issues
• Keep electrical panels accessible and clearly labeled for emergency shutoffs
