When the exhaust fan stops running entirely, a failed blower motor is almost always the cause. Commercial hood motors run continuously during service and accumulate far more operating hours than residential units. A burned-out capacitor that helps the motor start is the second most common cause: the motor may hum but not turn when the capacitor fails. A failed control board that stops sending power to the fan on certain speed settings produces intermittent failure rather than complete motor failure. Commercial hood fan repair on a motor that hums but won’t spin is almost always a same-day fix. Book online for fast service.
A hood that runs but doesn’t evacuate smoke, grease, or steam from the cooking line has an airflow restriction rather than a motor problem. A stuck or seized damper at the fan termination that won’t open under fan pressure stops airflow completely even when the motor is running at full speed. Grease accumulation on the baffle filters that restricts airflow severely enough to reduce ventilation is the second cause. Remove and inspect the baffle filters before calling for service: if they are heavily loaded with grease, the filters need attention before any mechanical diagnosis can be accurate. Commercial kitchen ventilation repair for a hood that runs but doesn’t vent is almost always a damper or filter issue.
Type I hoods sit over grease-producing cooking equipment and handle hot grease-laden air. Their blower motors, baffle filters, and grease traps take significantly more abuse than Type II systems. Type II hoods handle non-grease heat and moisture over equipment like dishwashers and steamers. The repair approach and parts differ between the two: a Type I hood failure during a dinner service is a critical shutdown, while a Type II failure is less urgent. We service both types across Denver Metro Area. We handle the mechanical and electrical components of hood systems. Fire suppression (Ansul) systems require a licensed fire protection contractor and are not part of our scope.
Commercial exhaust fan repair for a motor that has completely failed requires identifying the exact motor specifications: CFM rating, static pressure, voltage, and frame size. Installing an undersized replacement motor on a Type I hood produces insufficient capture velocity and creates a fire code compliance issue. We source OEM or spec-matched replacement motors for every commercial exhaust hood repair call and verify performance after installation. Commercial exhaust fan repair near me same-day service available for most motor replacements across Denver Metro Area. Book online for fast response.
A control board fault on a variable-speed commercial hood system stops the fan from responding to speed commands from the control panel. This produces a hood that appears to work at one speed only, or doesn’t respond to speed adjustments at all. A failed wiring harness between the control panel and the motor is a common cause on older hood systems where vibration over years of service loosens connections. Commercial vent hood repair for electrical faults requires isolating the circuit and testing the full path from panel to motor before replacing any components.

These are two different services. Commercial hood repair covers mechanical and electrical failures: motors, fans, control boards, and dampers. Hood cleaning covers grease removal for fire code compliance under NFPA 96. We handle repair. Hood cleaning requires a licensed hood cleaning contractor.
The most common causes are a stuck damper that isn’t opening under fan pressure, or baffle filters loaded with grease that restrict airflow severely. Inspect and remove the filters first before calling for service. If the filters are clean and the damper opens freely, the blower motor may be running below rated speed from wear.

Amazing service 10/10 would recommend!!!!! The team were very professional and removed and hauled away my dishwasher with ease.

Ryan was great with my dryer repair. He complete the task in less than 1 hr and was great with responding quickly! Thank you.
They responded very quickly to my call and arrived timely (appreciated the text that they were on the way & when they arrived). They were very nice and explained everything that they found wrong with my dryer and walked me through the process of how they would repair the issues prior to repairing it. Would recommend!
Technician arrived on time and was courteous and professional in their explanation. I felt comfortable with their recommendations. Appreciate the level of service from this small company
Had our washing machine break mid-cycle on a Sunday. Within a few minutes of reaching out to them, the team at Wilson and Myers had contacted me with available times including that very evening, no additional fees for a weekend. The tech that arrived was really friendly and professional and got the job done quickly and below the amount I had prepared myself to pay. Will definitely use again if needed!
