Description

This Heat Sentry is a thermal sensor that detects excessive heat in the hood and helps protect the appliance by triggering a shutdown or alert when temperatures rise above safe levels. It restores proper heat-sensing function for safety. What it does:

• Monitors hood temperature and responds if heat exceeds safe thresholds
• Trips the hood's thermal protection to stop the blower or signal an overheat condition
• Helps prevent damage from prolonged exposure to high heat while cooking
• Common symptom: hood fan stops running or won't restart after heavy cooking, or thermal protection repeatedly trips

What's included:

• One Heat Sentry thermal sensor

Install notes:

• Turn off power at the breaker before accessing the hood or wiring
• Installation typically requires removing the hood canopy or control panel to reach the sensor
• Match mounting and connector type to your unit; replace only with the same part number
