What we repair
Thermador builds a whole kitchen. We work on all of it.
Ten appliance types, and the shape of the range is unusual: professional cooking at one end and built-in refrigeration columns at the other, with no laundry at all. Start with whichever is misbehaving — several of these pages begin by explaining that the behavior people call a failure is the appliance working as designed.
-
Professional · 30" 36" 48" 60" Professional ranges
The appliance the brand is built around. A Professional range is two machines sharing a cabinet — a cooktop with star burners or an induction surface on top, and an oven underneath — and the two fail in completely different ways. Knowing which half you are describing shortens the visit before anybody arrives.
- A burner that clicks and will not light
- The oven not reaching or holding temperature
- The griddle heating unevenly across the plate
-
Freedom Induction · Masterpiece · Star burner Cooktops & rangetops
Freedom induction is this brand's own idea: one continuous glass surface that finds the pans rather than four printed rings to line them up with. It changes what goes wrong and what the complaint sounds like — most of what we are called out for on these is the surface protecting itself, and it is usually right to.
- A zone switching itself off mid-cook
- The surface not recognizing a pan
- Controls locked or answering a wet cloth
-
Grill module · Professional range · Rangetop · Legacy outdoor Grills & grill modules
The grill module that drops into a Professional range or rangetop, and the outdoor grills this maker used to build. Both are a burner under a heavy grate rather than a burner under a pan, and that changes what fails: the grate, what falls through it, the igniter that sits in the line of everything that falls through it, and a burner that has to run hot for an hour without complaint.
- A grill burner that lights and then goes out under load
- Uneven searing across the grate
- An igniter in the one place everything drips on
-
Masterpiece · Professional · Steam · Speed Wall ovens & steam ovens
Built in at eye level, often two cavities in one cabinet, and increasingly one of the two is a steam oven with a water circuit of its own. "The oven is broken" almost always means one cavity of the pair, and which one narrows the job considerably.
- Not heating or not holding temperature
- The touch panel unresponsive after a long cycle
- The door locked after a self-clean
-
Masterpiece · Star-Sapphire · Crystal Dry Dishwashers
Quiet, panel-ready, and dried by a mineral chamber rather than a heating element. Two of the commonest complaints about these machines are the design working exactly as intended; the third is a filter nobody has taken out in a year.
- Water standing in the tub after a cycle
- Plastics coming out wet
- The leak protection tripping and the machine refusing to run
-
Freedom columns · French door · Under-counter Built-in refrigerators & columns
A Freedom column is one cabinet holding one temperature — all refrigerator, no freezer in it — usually installed beside a freezer column as a matched pair behind panels that look like joinery. That makes the diagnosis cleaner and the access harder.
- Not holding temperature
- Frost or condensation inside the cabinet
- A door that no longer seals against its panel
-
Freedom columns · 18" 24" 30" 36" Freezer columns
The other half of the pair, and the cabinet the ice maker lives in. A freezer column that is losing temperature announces itself long before the food is at risk — frost patterns change, the compressor runs longer, and the ice slows down first.
- Not holding temperature, with the refrigerator column fine
- Heavy frost building on one wall rather than evenly
- Ice production slowing down or stopping altogether
-
Inside the freezer column Ice makers
There is no standalone ice machine on this brand. The ice maker is a module inside a freezer column, fed by a water line run through the cabinetry — so this page is about that module and the water reaching it, not about an undercounter machine behind a bar.
- No ice at all, in a freezer that is holding temperature
- Hollow, small or cloudy cubes from a full mold
- Ice that has taken on a taste or a smell
-
Under-counter · Glass door · Two zones Wine reserves
An undercounter reserve with a glass door and two temperature zones, built under a worktop rather than standing in a run. The glass door is a working part of the cabinet rather than a window, and a surprising share of what goes wrong is about it.
- Temperature drifting or swinging between zones
- Condensation on the inside of the glass
- A compressor that runs and runs
-
Pull-out · Chimney · Island · Downdraft Range hoods & ventilation
Paired to the cooktop below it and, on the newer kitchens, talking to it — a hood that will not follow the burner is a connection question rather than a broken fan. Pull-out hoods add a mechanism that fixed ones do not have.
- The fan not starting or running at one speed
- The light out while the fan works
- A hood that no longer follows the cooktop
South Florida
The climate is part of the diagnosis.
- Hard water. These dishwashers publish a code for scale in the heat pump. Acting on it is a service; ignoring it for a year reaches the drying chamber, which is the expensive assembly.
- Year-round heat. Column condensers run hard for more months here than almost anywhere, and induction electronics overheat under a ventilation gap somebody filled with a drawer.
- Coastal salt air. Near the water it reaches star burner caps, electrodes and the damper on the far end of a remote blower duct — which fails silently.
- Outages and surges. Storm season brings a run of electronics codes, and it is also when a column goes dark on low voltage. Five minutes genuinely off at the breaker clears a fair share of the rest.
- Built into joinery. Panel-ready columns and 48-inch ranges are fitted to the cabinetry rather than pushed into a gap, and getting to the repair is often longer than the repair.
Error codes
Half of what this brand tells you is not a number.
Thermador publishes what its cooking and dishwashing codes mean, which is genuinely useful. What is easy to miss is that two large parts of its range say things a different way: a Professional wall oven with no display blinks its code out on three lights, and the refrigeration columns publish no codes at all.
One oven condition, three ways to see it
E115
With a display
Beside the clock
1·1·5
No display
Three LEDs blink it
ALARM
Refrigeration
No codes exist
The middle one is not a warning light. The left LED blinks the first digit, the middle one the second, the right one the third; then all three light together for a second and it repeats. One blink, one blink, five blinks is E115 — the same condition, the same page on this site, and the same repair as on an oven that spells it out.
Three ways this equipment speaks
-
E24A number on a display — dishwashers, induction, and the newer ovens -
1·0·6Three blinking lights — the Professional wall ovens with no display. Count them and you have the code -
AlarmNo code at all — the refrigeration columns, which alarm, flash a symbol, or run a self-test instead
Where the codes live, by appliance
| Dishwashers | 23 conditions — draining, leak protection, scale, the Crystal Dry chamber and the door |
|---|---|
| Wall ovens | 26, including the legacy Professional table that was never put on the maker's website |
| Cooktops | Mostly protections — zone overheat, panel lock, a power limit, and a voltage code about your building |
| Refrigeration | None published. Five alarms and signals stand in their place, and this site decodes them |
| Ventilation | One: the link between the hood and the cooktop, which is what stops a hood coming on by itself |
| Connectivity | 19 about the app, the phone and the router. Almost none of them are the appliance |
There is no laundry row because this maker sells no laundry in the US. If a page anywhere tells you otherwise about this brand, it is describing a different one.
87 conditions covering 164 published labels and signals — from the manufacturer's support pages, its service manuals, and the guides that ship inside the appliance. Where a machine has no display, the blinking lights are the code, and we can read them.
Browse all error codesNo code and no lights — just an appliance behaving oddly? That is what the symptom pages are for. Four of them exist mainly to tell you that nothing is wrong.
How a visit goes
From your first call to the invoice, nothing is a surprise.
-
01
Intake
Tell us what the appliance is doing, the model and how it is built in. Cannot find the model number? We will tell you exactly where Thermador puts it on your machine.
-
02
Diagnosis
The code is read — or the blinks counted, or the column self-tested — and the condition reproduced rather than assumed. The free causes get checked in front of you first.
-
03
Scope in writing
You see the work and the price before anything is opened, and you approve it first. On panel-ready equipment we say what has to come off before it does.
-
04
Repair and verify
A full cycle run and watched before we leave, panels re-hung to the line of your cabinets, and our workmanship covered by warranty.
What it costs
What these repairs usually cost in South Florida.
We price by the job, because on a badge that covers both cold and cooking the same complaint has two different answers. Every figure is a starting point; an exact number over the phone, sight unseen, is a guess.
Dishwasher drain repair
from $155
A good share of these end at the filter, which costs the visit and nothing else.
Oven element or sensor
from $185
On a double oven the code says which cavity before anyone opens anything.
Professional range repair
from $210
Two appliances on one chassis, so the first question is which half stopped.
Crystal Dry repair
from $245
A mineral chamber rather than an element, which is why it costs more than drying usually does.
Sealed system repair
from $1,200
The one figure here that does not follow the brand. It is built-in refrigeration, and it is physics.
Diagnostic visit from $95, credited toward the repair when you go ahead. Every figure above is a starting point for this equipment in South Florida — the model, the access and the part move it. The exact cost is confirmed after an on-site diagnostic, never over the phone.

Questions
Straight answers
Are you authorized by Thermador?
No, and we will not claim otherwise. We are an independent repair company. Authorization is a commercial relationship with the manufacturer and mainly matters for in-warranty claims. Out of warranty, what matters is whether the technician knows the equipment, can source OEM parts, and stands behind the work.
My refrigerator column has no error code, just an alarm. Is that normal?
Yes. Thermador publishes no error codes for its refrigeration at all — the pages where they would live do not exist. A column tells you things another way: the temperature flashing with an alarm symbol, a door signal, a flashing water filter symbol, or a display that goes dark on low voltage. Press ALARM and it shows the highest temperature the cabinet reached, once. That number is worth reading before you clear it.
My oven is blinking lights instead of showing a code.
On the Professional wall ovens without a display, that is the code. Three lights blink out its digits from left to right, then all three come on together for a second. Count each group and you have the number — one, one, five is E115 — and every one of those codes has a page on this site.
Do you use genuine Thermador parts?
OEM parts are ordered against your model number as standard. Where a good-quality equivalent exists and would save you money, we price both and tell you which is going in, so the choice stays yours.
How long does a repair take?
The diagnosis usually takes under an hour. Whether we finish the same day depends on the part: drains, filters, seals and electrodes are usually same-visit, while a board ordered against a model number takes a few days. Sealed-system work on a refrigeration column is a day rather than an hour.
My appliances have cabinet panels on them. Does that complicate things?
It adds time rather than difficulty, and it is the normal case on this equipment. The panel comes off and goes back on aligned to the line of your cabinets — that is part of the job rather than an extra, and we say what has to come off before it does.
What warranty do you give?
A warranty on our workmanship — the labor we performed. Parts carry their own manufacturer warranty. If your appliance is still in warranty, that claim goes through the manufacturer's own network rather than through us.
