Advanced Pro Maintenance Tips
To prevent **Not Cooling** issues, regularly **test resistance values** on the **evaporator fan motor** using a multimeter. This component is critical for air circulation within the refrigerator; low values can indicate failure. Make sure to adhere to OEM specifications from **Thermador**, particularly if you're working in a high-rise with fluctuating voltage levels.
For those experiencing excessive **Noise/Vibration**, ensure to **clean condenser coils** using a **nylon brush** at least twice a year, especially in **space-constrained installations** prevalent in NYC. Accumulated debris can lead to overheating and operational noise, disrupting the high-efficiency mode the unit is designed for; take care to follow the OEM guidelines for cleaning techniques.
Before accessing any internal components for maintenance, always follow proper **safety protocols** by **disconnecting power** to the unit at the breaker. Focus on the **control board relay** to avoid short circuits or damage, as NYC's pre-war electrical systems can be prone to surges which may affect this sensitive component.
Inspect the **door gasket** using the **dollar bill test** to ensure a proper seal, especially in older buildings where door alignment can shift due to structural settling. A compromised gasket leads to coolant loss and increased operational strain on the compressor; replace with OEM parts to restore efficiency and eliminate air leakage.
Expert Cost-Benefit Analysis: Repair or Replace?
Considering the age and common part failures of Thermador refrigerators, a detailed analysis showcases that components like compressors and control boards may warrant repair over replacement, especially if repairs fall under typical cost ratios in NYC. Engaging with manufacturers for OEM parts maintains service integrity in established systems.
Replacement may be justified if energy efficiency shows considerable ROI, if OEM parts are discontinued, or if cumulative repair costs exceed 70% of the replacement cost. High-rise delivery and installation logistics in Manhattan must also be considered.
- Energy efficiency ROI
- Discontinued OEM part scarcity
- Cumulative repair cost thresholds (70% rule)
- Manhattan delivery/installation logistics for high-rises

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.
