Bertazzoni is an Italian luxury appliance brand known for high-performance ranges, ovens, and cooktops. Popular in premium NYC kitchens, these units combine professional-grade gas burners with electronic controls. Despite excellent build quality, issues arise from high-heat use, gas pressure variation, or control board failures. This guide outlines Bertazzoni’s most frequent problems, 25+ error codes, technical repair details, quick DIY fixes, and clear advice on when to repair versus replace. It helps owners understand symptoms and escalation points.

Repair is generally preferred: relays, fans, igniters, and thermostats are serviceable at lower cost. Replacement is only recommended for major gas leaks, repeated electronic failures, or structural damage.
Bertazzoni integrates powerful burners, thermostats, flame sensors, spark modules, and electronic control relays. Ignition relies on proper grounding and spark gap. Thermistors measure resistance in kΩ ranges, with higher values as temperature increases. Fans are tach-monitored, triggering errors if stalled. Relays on control boards are vulnerable to heat. Oven heating elements usually read 20–40Ω on continuity tests.
Escalate for gas leaks, persistent ignition errors, tripped safety cutoffs, overheated boards, or repeat error codes. Technicians measure gas pressure, test control boards, and verify calibration using specialized tools.
