Volt & Vector employs an advanced diagnostic methodology including multimeter testing, control board signal tracing, and sealed system pressure analysis. Our borough-specific dispatch logistics ensure that our technicians can swiftly respond to your issues in both Brooklyn and Manhattan, minimizing downtime and inconvenience.

Expert Cost-Benefit Analysis: Repair or Replace?
Repairing Thermador Cooktops involves assessing the economics of part failures, especially with components like the compressor and control board. In NYC, labor costs can add to the total, making repairs more economical when the age of the unit is considered alongside commonly needed repairs like sealed system components. Typically, repairs are viable if costs are under 40% of a new unit.
Replacement becomes appealing under specific criteria, such as:
- High energy efficiency return on investment.
- Scarcity of discontinued OEM parts driving up costs.
- Cumulative repair costs approaching 70% of the value of a new unit.
- Logistical hurdles for delivery and installation in Manhattan high-rises.
Understanding Thermador Error Codes
Code E012: There's a problem with the temperature sensor on the control board, which may affect the cooktop's functionality.
Possible Causes:
- User Interface PCB is faulty
- Loose or damaged wiring
- Moisture affecting the sensor
User Actions:
- Turn off the cooktop and unplug it for a few minutes.
- Check for any visible signs of damage or moisture.
- If the issue persists, contact a service technician.
Code E014: The ON/OFF key is not responding, which may prevent the cooktop from being turned on or off.
Possible Causes:
- User Interface may be malfunctioning
- Physical obstruction or debris on the key
- Electrical issue with the control board
User Actions:
- Clean around the ON/OFF button to remove any debris.
- Press the key firmly to see if it responds.
- If still unresponsive, consider unplugging the cooktop and plugging it back in.
Code E032: There has been continuous pressing of the cooktop's keys, which may cause it to malfunction or enter an error state.
Possible Causes:
- User accidentally pressing keys continuously
- Potential issue with the user interface sensing multiple touches
- Moisture or foreign object affecting control panel
User Actions:
- Cease pressing the keys and allow the cooktop to reset.
- Check for any foreign objects or moisture on the control panel.
- If the error persists, consider turning the cooktop off and back on.

Great people to deal with. Called and set up appointment right away. Mark came and fixed the issue right away. Very friendly and respectful. Will use again. Thanks guys.
Excellent experience with Vlad! He came day of to help fix a laundry machine issue. He was on time, a clear communicator about the issue and fixed it with ease. He came back the following day (at no charge!) when I reached out with further information about how the machine was working to confirm everything was working properly/as intended. Excellent service and will absolutely be working with them again when we have future needs. Can’t recommend enough!
Vlad has been an incredible asset. In the few months we've known him, he's already fixed a dryer, two washing machines, and an oven! He's always very upfront with the repairs needed and the associated costs with fixing an appliance. I wouldn't hesitate at all to hire him for any future appliances in need of repair
I split my time between Italy and NYC and manage several Airbnb units. Scheduling used to take too much energy around guest check-ins and turnovers. With Volt & Vector Appliance Repair, the routine became predictable: clear 2-hour windows (9–11am or 12–2pm), a text with ETA, written pricing (diagnostic credited), before/after photos, and a short summary after each visit. Over ~30 repairs in two years: washers, dryers, dishwashers, ranges, a refrigerator seal. They’ve kept me informed and moved quickly on parts (usually 24–48 hours when ordered). Access and lockboxes are handled without drama, work areas are left clean, and my reviews stayed steady. Hosting from abroad is easier when maintenance is this consistent. Strong recommend for Brooklyn and Manhattan hosts.
