Know Your Thermador Platforms

We service the Thermador platforms most common in NYC:

Dishwashers

Integrated, panel-ready and stainless dishwashers with multi-stage filtration, Zeolite® or advanced drying, and quiet-operation packages designed for open kitchens.

Built-In Refrigeration / Columns / Wine

Panel-ready columns, French door and bottom-freezer units, plus wine columns with dedicated temperature and humidity control for premium kitchens.

Pro Ranges & Wall Ovens

Gas and dual-fuel Pro Grand / Pro Harmony ranges, as well as single and double wall ovens, often paired with speed and steam ovens in stacked installations.

Cooktops & Rangetops

Gas rangetops with Thermador Star® Burners, and Freedom® induction cooktops with flexible cooking zones, power boost, and pan recognition.

Hoods & Downdraft Ventilation

Wall-mount, island, insert and downdraft ventilation systems sized for NYC kitchens and high-output Thermador ranges.

Steam & Speed Ovens

Compact combi-steam and speed ovens installed as part of premium Thermador appliance walls and columns.

Safety First

• We disconnect power and gas or water before removing panels, doors or cooktop assemblies.
• For heavy or built-in units, we stabilize the appliance and protect floors before pulling it out.
• If we see evidence of water damage, overheating, burning smells or arcing, we stop and discuss next steps before proceeding.
• For sealed-system refrigeration work we follow EPA guidelines and building rules, and we’ll coordinate with management if required.

Quick Self-Check (Safe Steps Before You Call)

You can safely check a few basics before scheduling service:

Dishwasher

• Confirm the breaker is on and the unit’s power switch (if present) is set correctly.
• Check for obvious blockages in the filter area and at the bottom of the tub.
• Look for error codes or indicator lights on the display and note them.

Refrigerator / Freezer / Columns

• Make sure doors are closing fully and no containers are blocking them or the interior vents.
• Listen for fans: you should hear a soft fan sound when doors are closed.
• Check if the problem is only in one compartment (refrigerator vs. freezer vs. wine).

Ranges / Ovens / Cooktops

• Verify the breaker is on; for gas, confirm the main gas shutoff to the range is open.
• Try a different burner or oven mode to see if the issue is local to one element.
• Note any error messages, strange sounds, or when exactly the fault appears (preheat, bake, broil, etc.).

If anything smells like burning, you see sparks, gas odor, or the breaker trips repeatedly — leave the appliance off and contact us. Don’t keep resetting the breaker.

Common Symptoms → Likely Causes (Thermador)

→ Door latch or switch problems, control board faults, float switch or water level sensor issues.

Dishes not drying / cloudy film
→ Failed heater or drying system, incorrect detergent/rinse aid, clogged filters, Zeolite® module issues (where equipped).

Refrigerators / Freezers / Wine Columns

Fridge warm but freezer OK
→ Frosted-over evaporator, non-running evaporator fan, stuck or blocked air dampers.

Ice buildup on back wall / drawers sticking with ice
→ Defrost system problems, blocked drain, warm air leaks from gaskets or misaligned doors.

No ice / slow ice production
→ Low water pressure, clogged filter, faulty water valve, ice mold freeze-up.

Unit noisy or rattling
→ Fan blades hitting ice, loose panels, compressor mount issues, installation or leveling problems.

Ranges / Ovens / Cooktops / Rangetops

Gas burner won’t ignite or keeps clicking
→ Dirty or wet igniter, blocked burner ports, failed spark module, poor grounding, misaligned burner cap.

Star Burner flame uneven or lifting
→ Blocked burner ports, incorrect burner cap placement, air shutter misadjustment, regulator or supply problems.

Steam & Speed Ovens

No steam / low steam output

What We Test During a Thermador Diagnostic

During your $99 diagnostic, we typically:

• Pull and document error codes from the control system (where available).
• Verify power, grounding, gas and water supply to the unit.
• Check drainage, pumps and valves for blockages, leaks and electrical failure on dishwashers.
• Measure temperature performance in refrigeration and ovens against setpoints.
• Test fans, motors, ignition systems, induction modules, sensors and safety devices (NTC sensors, thermostats, pressure/level switches, flame sensors).
• Inspect door gaskets, hinges, seals, burner assemblies, and actuators for wear or misalignment.
• For steam and high-output systems, assess scale buildup, airflow and ventilation paths.

After testing, you get a clear, written estimate before any repair work starts. If you approve the repair, the $99 diagnostic is fully credited toward the job.

How to Prep for Your Visit

To make the visit faster and cleaner:

• Clear access in front of the appliance (3–4 feet) and move fragile items away.
• For built-ins, tall refrigeration columns and large Pro ranges, let us know if there are any known installation issues or past repairs.
• If your building needs a COI, send us the management’s requirements and contact details ahead of time.
• Have any previous service invoices or warranty paperwork handy if you have them.
