Thermador Oven Repair

No heat on an electric oven is the bake element most of the time, and you can usually see the damage: a blister or a break in the coil. On gas it's the igniter. It weakens before it dies, so the sign is the oven taking longer and longer to light. Running hot or cold is normally the temperature sensor, and that's an easy fix.

Thermador wall ovens break in a few predictable ways, and knowing which one you've got before we arrive makes the job a lot shorter. Door hinges are the most common mechanical call. They carry a heavy door through thousands of cycles, and when they wear out, the door doesn't close square anymore. Heat leaks out, and you get uneven baking that most owners blame on the element. The thermal fuse and the temperature probe cause most of the electrical calls. A probe that's drifted gives you an oven that shows the right temperature and cooks wrong. That's the hardest problem to spot from the outside, so a thermometer inside the oven tells you more than the display does. Steam and speed ovens add their own parts for the water supply and descaling, and those vary by model. Thermador shares its platform with Bosch, so parts are easier to get than for most luxury ranges.
