Thermador Repair in Sherman Oaks

Q: "My Thermador Freedom Induction has one zone that won't activate. Is that fixable?"

"Yes, and it's one of our more common Thermador calls. Each zone pair\non the Freedom platform has its own driver board. A dead zone is\ntypically that specific driver — a $340–$620 repair. The coil itself\nrarely fails; it's just passive copper winding.\n"

Q: "What does ExtraLow mean and why does mine not work anymore?"

"ExtraLow is Thermador's ultra-low simmer feature (it cycles the burner\non and off rather than running continuously at a low flame). When it\nstops cycling correctly, it's almost always the spark module or the\nsimmer control relay. Diagnosable in 15 minutes.\n"

Q: "Can you service the older pre-PRD Thermador pro ranges?"

"Yes. The Professional Series from the late '90s / early '00s is still\nrunning in plenty of Sherman Oaks kitchens. Parts are harder to come\nby than on PRD, but most common failures (igniters, simmer valves,\noven sensors) still have available replacements.\n"

Q: "Is a 14-year-old Thermador wine column worth fixing?"

"Almost always. A T24UW replacement is $4,800–$6,200, plus any\ncabinetry rework. Most service issues on these (thermistor, damper,\nLED driver) are $300–$600 fixes. We'd have to be looking at a full\ncompressor or a sealed-system failure before replacement makes sense.\n"

Q: "Do Thermador Sapphire dishwashers share parts with Bosch?"

"Many of them, yes. The motor platform, the water-management system,\nand a lot of the sheet metal are shared with Bosch Benchmark. This\nis good for parts availability and sometimes for cost. We'll note\nwhen a cross-reference part is the right fit.\n"

Thermador is the Freedom-Induction champion

If you walk into a recently-remodeled Sherman Oaks kitchen, there’s a decent chance the cooktop is a Thermador Freedom Induction — the 36- or 48-inch platform where the entire surface is active and pan placement wakes the zones beneath it. It’s the most forward-looking cooktop on the residential market, and it’s also more service-intensive than a traditional burner cooktop. The payoff: once dialed in, it’s the most versatile cooktop you’ll ever own.

Thermador’s refrigeration (the T-series built-ins) is on similar ground with Sub-Zero for premium built-in market share, and their Pro Grand ranges compete directly with Wolf DF on the pro-range side. We service all three product families with platform-specific training.

Thermador’s platform relationship to Bosch

Thermador is owned by BSH (which also owns Bosch and Gaggenau). Some parts cross platforms, others don’t. Knowing which is which saves time and money:

Dishwasher platforms: Sapphire shares much of the Bosch Benchmark chassis. Cross-references are common and cheaper.
Range platforms: Thermador Pro Grand is its own platform — very little crosses from Bosch’s electric ranges.
Refrigeration: T-series built-ins are almost entirely Thermador-specific.
Cooktops: Freedom Induction is Thermador-only. Standard Masterpiece induction has some shared Bosch electronics.

48- and 60-inch pro ranges with ExtraLow burners and dual convection ovens. Our most common Thermador range calls: igniters, spark modules, and convection-fan bearings.

The famously heat-anywhere induction platform. Each pan placement wakes the zones beneath it. When a zone fails it's usually a driver-board fault, diagnosable in minutes.

T-Series Built-In Refrigerators

T24IR, T30IR, T36IT, T48IT (built-in all-refrigerator, all-freezer, French-door). We service evap fans, dampers, and ice maker modules weekly.

Why Sherman Oaks homeowners choose us for Thermador

Thermador-platform fluency. Thermador is Bosch-group, so platform parts overlap with Bosch and Gaggenau. We know which parts cross and where they don't.
Freedom Induction diagnostic experience. The Freedom Induction platform uses its own diagnostic logic. Many techs don't know it. We do — and it saves us (and you) swap-and-pray repairs.
OEM Thermador parts. We source through Thermador's authorized distributor in Van Nuys, which means genuine parts and the manufacturer warranty that goes with them.
Built-in removal experience. T48IT built-ins weigh 600+ lbs and sit in custom cabinetry. We have the dolly, the moving pads, and the time to do it right.
Straight pricing. Thermador parts can be costly. We mark up fairly (trade-standard markup, not retail) and itemize parts and labor clearly on every invoice.

Thermador repair — frequently asked

My Thermador Freedom Induction has one zone that won't activate. Is that fixable?

Yes, and it’s one of our more common Thermador calls. Each zone pair on the Freedom platform has its own driver board. A dead zone is typically that specific driver — a $340–$620 repair. The coil itself rarely fails; it’s just passive copper winding.

What does ExtraLow mean and why does mine not work anymore?

ExtraLow is Thermador’s ultra-low simmer feature (it cycles the burner on and off rather than running continuously at a low flame). When it stops cycling correctly, it’s almost always the spark module or the simmer control relay. Diagnosable in 15 minutes.

Can you service the older pre-PRD Thermador pro ranges?

Yes. The Professional Series from the late ’90s / early ’00s is still running in plenty of Sherman Oaks kitchens. Parts are harder to come by than on PRD, but most common failures (igniters, simmer valves, oven sensors) still have available replacements.

Is a 14-year-old Thermador wine column worth fixing?

Almost always. A T24UW replacement is $4,800–$6,200, plus any cabinetry rework. Most service issues on these (thermistor, damper, LED driver) are $300–$600 fixes. We’d have to be looking at a full compressor or a sealed-system failure before replacement makes sense.

Do Thermador Sapphire dishwashers share parts with Bosch?

Many of them, yes. The motor platform, the water-management system, and a lot of the sheet metal are shared with Bosch Benchmark. This is good for parts availability and sometimes for cost. We’ll note when a cross-reference part is the right fit.
