Thermador Range Repair in San Diego

Before any Thermador range repair, it helps to know the hardware: Thermador's professional ranges come in dual-fuel, gas and induction versions from 30 to 60 inches, some with griddles and steam ovens.

Expect the usual Thermador range suspects: oven igniter or element failure, spark module faults, convection fan failure, and control and sensor faults. On a service call, the description is usually one of these: oven not heating, burners clicking, and griddle not heating. If the burners work but a Thermador range oven won't heat, the oven igniter or element is a more likely cause than the whole control system. On a gas range, a burner that clicks but does not light usually has a wet or dirty igniter or a misaligned cap.

Thermador pro ranges separate the cooktop and oven circuits, so an oven failure while burners work points to the oven igniter or element rather than the whole range. Convection fans and sensors can make an oven heat unevenly without a complete failure. The cost of these ranges makes repair the usual choice.

Power blips during Santa Ana events and heat waves can corrupt or damage range control boards, so an electronic range that misbehaves after an outage needs its board checked. Diagnosis starts with what works and what does not, which usually rules out half the possible parts.

Keep Star burner caps dry and seated correctly after cleaning, and run hot water at the sink before starting the dishwasher. We price the oven igniter or element failure and similar repairs in writing before any work starts.

Do not use the oven to heat the kitchen; it overheats the controls. Have the model and serial ready when you call about burners clicking; it lets us check parts first.
