Thermador appliances are designed for performance and reliability, but they still face recurring faults. This troubleshooting guide covers Thermador error codes, failures, and repair strategies.
Code E000: The stove's internal control modules aren't communicating correctly. This indicates a serious internal issue.
Possible Causes:
Code E003: The stove's internal electronics have overheated. This is often due to restricted airflow or heavy use.
Possible Causes:
Code E005: The different components within the stove aren't communicating properly.
Possible Causes:
Code E101: The temperature sensor for Convection Element 1 (Cvt 1) is not registering or is disconnected.
Possible Causes:
Code E201: The temperature sensor for Convection Element 2 (Cvt 2) is not registering or is disconnected.
Possible Causes:
Common Thermador codes include:
E15 – Leak detected (dishwasher)
E24 – Drain error (dishwasher)
E09 – Heater fault (dishwasher)
E14 – Water inlet error
E19 – Heat pump relay fault
E02 – Control board error
E18 – Drain timeout (washer)
E23 – Drain pump blocked
E17 – Inlet valve error
E32 – Imbalance load
E57 – Motor drive error
E60 – Heating circuit relay open (dryer)
E63 – Heater element fault
E64 – Temperature sensor error
E011 – Oven temperature probe error
E115 – Overheating sensor triggered
E118 – Cooling fan error
E9 – Induction module overheated
E2 – Overvoltage detected
E3 – Undervoltage detected
E6 – NTC sensor fault
E01 – Evaporator sensor error
E02 – Compressor relay failure
E03 – Defrost heater open
Q1: Why is my Thermador refrigerator not cooling? A1: Likely condenser coils, fan, or thermistor. | Q2: What does F6E4 mean on a Thermador dishwasher? A2: Float switch error. | Q3: Should I repair or replace my Thermador oven? A3: Repair is typically cheaper for sensors or igniters.
Repairing Thermador is usually more economical. Replacing pumps, igniters, fans, or sensors restores function at a fraction of replacement cost, extending lifespan significantly.
Thermador integrates high-end electronics with mechanics. Refrigerators use inverter compressors and thermistors, ovens use igniters and relays, washers employ pressure switches, and dryers depend on heaters and fuses.
Professional repair is required for Thermador when error codes persist, sealed systems or compressors fail, gas ignition malfunctions occur, or electrical burning odors are detected.
