What we service
Across the whole Thermador line

Identify yours
Which line is in your kitchen
Thermador splits by look rather than by capability, so two appliances with different handles can be the same machine underneath. The handle is the quickest tell.
Masterpiece Collection
Slim brushed stainless handles and a modern, low-key look. This is the line the Freedom Induction cooktop belongs to.
Professional Collection
Heavier handles and the commercial look. Pro Harmony and Pro Grand ranges sit here, along with the bolder ventilation.
Freedom refrigeration
Sold as separate columns rather than one appliance. Fresh food, freezer and wine each arrive as their own unit with their own model and serial number.
Star Burner
The star-shaped burner is one of the brand's signature features. Newer cooktops raise it onto a pedestal base, which changes how the ports are cleaned and serviced.
The part that matters
A column is an appliance, not a compartment
This one distinction changes the diagnosis, the part order and the bill.
Your refrigerator may be three refrigerators.
A Freedom refrigeration wall usually looks like one large appliance behind matching panels. It is not. Fresh food, freezer and wine are separate columns, each with its own sealed system, its own controls and its own serial number — bolted together and paneled to read as one piece.
That is why the freezer column can fail while the fresh food column beside it never moves off its set point, and why the first thing we ask for is the serial number of the column that is actually misbehaving. Ordering against the wrong one of the three is the most common way a Thermador repair turns into two visits.
Each column stands alone
Its own compressor, evaporator, controls and serial number. One failing says nothing about its neighbor.
Serial number per column
Not per wall. Read it from the unit that is misbehaving, inside the door frame.
Inside the circuit
Leaks, restrictions and compressor work on a column. EPA 608 only — federal law, not preference.
Panels come off carefully
Columns are aligned to each other as well as to the cabinetry. Refit is part of the job.
Common faults
Symptom first, then the likely part
Pick the line closest to what you see and mention it when you call — the parts that ride along are chosen from it.
One column warm, the one beside it still cold
Separate sealed systems — the fault is in the warm column only
Column runs constantly and never cycles off
Condenser starved of air, or a loss of charge
Frost at the back of the fresh food column
Defrost heater or thermostat
Wine column drifting off its zone temperature
Door seal, zone damper or thermostat
Panel-ready door no longer aligned with its neighbor
Hinge or door closer, not the cabinetry
Star Burner clicks but will not light
Igniter or ports clogged along the star arms
ExtraLow simmer cycling too hot
Simmer control or the burner valve
Oven never reaches temperature
Bake element or temperature sensor
Steam oven fills but produces no steam
Steam generator or water level sensor
Induction surface reports an error and shuts off
Cooling fan, or a power board running hot
Dishes come out wet
Zeolite drying unit or its fan, not the heater
Standing water after every cycle
Drain pump or check valve
Film left on glassware
Spray arm or inlet water flow
Leak at the door behind the custom panel
Door gasket or tub seal
Panel scrapes the frame as the door opens
Panel mounting, not the machine
The table gives the usual finding, not a diagnosis. On a Freedom wall the first question is which column, the second is part or sealed system — and the answer to the second changes the conversation about cost.
If you smell gas near a Thermador rangetop or range, leave the knobs and the lights alone, step outside and call 911 or your gas utility. That call comes before ours, every time.
Say which column or burner is acting up, and what it does. We will tell you what that usually points to.
Parts and timing
What decides the wait on a Thermador
Common wear items are usually easy to source; specific parts are ordered against the model and serial number.
Wear items
Igniters, burner caps and ports, thermistors, spray arms, gaskets. Often available quickly; you get the timeline before the visit.
Boards and modules
Control boards, TFT displays, zeolite units. Ordered against the model and serial of the individual appliance.
Sealed system components
Compressors, evaporators, driers on refrigeration columns. The longest wait of the three, and a longer visit.
Three columns, three numbers
On a Freedom wall, give us the serial from the column that is actually failing. Ordering against the wrong one is what turns a single visit into two.
Questions
Asked about Thermador
Warranty, insurance and booking questions are answered on the home page. These come up with Thermador in particular.
Are you an authorized Thermador service center?
No. We are independent, with no affiliation to or authorization from BSH or Thermador. If the appliance is still inside its factory warranty, the repair belongs with the manufacturer's own service network — use that first. Once the warranty has expired, we take it on.
My freezer column failed. Does the fresh food column need work too?
Almost never. They are separate appliances that happen to be paneled as one. Each has its own sealed system and controls, so a failure in one carries no implication for the other.
Which serial number do you need?
The one from the column that is misbehaving, not the kitchen as a whole. It is inside the door frame. On a three-column wall there are three, and ordering against the wrong one costs you a second visit.
My dishes are coming out wet. Is the heating element gone?
Probably not. Sapphire dishwashers dry with zeolite, a mineral that gives off heat as it absorbs moisture, rather than with a conventional heating element. When drying fails it is usually the zeolite unit or its fan — a different part and a different repair.
Is the Star Burner harder to service than a normal burner?
Not harder, but different. The flame runs out along the arms of the star, so the ports clog in a pattern a round burner does not have. On newer pedestal cooktops the burner lifts clear of the base, which makes the cleaning easier and the diagnosis quicker.
