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.

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.

Reading the code, testing the circuit it names and checking the cheap causes first is what turns three characters on a display into a repair with a price on it. The fee is credited toward the work when you go ahead, so on a job we carry out it is not an extra line on the bill. ### What the technician does on site - Reads the active and stored codes — or counts the blinks on a model without a display - Runs the appliance self-test on a refrigeration column, which the manufacturer documents and an owner can also run - Checks the inexpensive causes first: seal, filter, vent clearance, supply voltage - Writes down the scope and the price, and waits for your approval ### What you can do before we arrive Photograph the display, every character of it, before you cut the power — clearing a code loses it. Find the model number: the door edge on a dishwasher, the frame behind the door on an oven, the inside wall on a refrigeration column. Those two things together are usually enough for us to say what is likely before anyone comes out. This article is based on: - Official manufacturer documentation - Internal repair procedures - Technician repair history - Company quality standards Before you book ## Questions about thermador diagnostic visit Yes. It starts at $95 and comes off the bill when you go ahead with the work, so on a job we carry out it is not an extra line. You pay the diagnostic fee and nothing else. The visit, the testing and the written scope have happened either way, and you leave knowing what is wrong. Yes, and it is the same information. On the Professional wall ovens without a display, three lights blink the digits of the code in order. Count each group and you have the number — we do it on site, and the archive here has a page for each one. We can narrow it. With the model number and the code, or a description of what the lights are doing, we will tell you the likely causes and the range. The same code has several causes hundreds of dollars apart, and only the appliance settles which is yours.
