Thermador built the first domestic wall oven and the first drop-in cooktop, and the brand still shows up in a lot of West Chester kitchens that were remodeled with a professional look on a slightly more attainable footing than an all-Wolf line. Thermador sits inside the BSH group alongside Bosch and Gaggenau, which matters for repair: the dishwashers, many oven controls, and the induction electronics share a platform, so a technician who reads BSH fault codes and knows those boards has a real head start. Parts needs and availability are confirmed after model-specific diagnosis.
We see Thermador across the range of homes here, from a Pro Grand dominating an island in a Media new build to a Masterpiece double oven quietly doing the work in a Villanova colonial. Whatever the model, the diagnosis starts with the code or the symptom and ends with a model-specific part and a confirmed fix.
Models We Service
- Pro Ranges: Pro Harmony and Pro Grand dual-fuel and gas ranges with star burners and the ExtraLow simmer.

Error & Fault Codes
Because Thermador shares BSH electronics, its dishwashers use the same E-series codes as Bosch, and its ovens use an F-series fault set. The most common:
| Code | Meaning | Our Fix |
|---|---|---|
| E15 | Water in the base pan, anti-flood float tripped | Find and stop the leak, dry the pan, reset the float |
| E24 | Dishwasher will not drain | Clear filter and hose, replace drain pump if failed |
| E22 | Filter or drain restriction | Clean filter and check-valve, verify drainage |
| F code on oven | Open or shorted oven temperature sensor | Test sensor resistance, replace sensor |
| F relay fault | Stuck relay on the oven control board | Replace control board, verify heating |
Common Problems We Fix
- Star burners that click without lighting or hold an uneven flame.
- ExtraLow simmer cycling roughly or not holding a low setting.
- Freedom induction zones that lose power or stop sensing pans.
- Wall ovens that will not reach temperature or throw an F-code.
- Dishwashers stopping mid-cycle on E15 or E24.
- Freedom refrigeration running warm or alarming.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Does an E15 or E24 Code Mean on a Thermador Dishwasher?
Thermador dishwashers share the BSH control platform, so E15 means water has collected in the base pan and the anti-flood float has tripped, while E24 means the machine cannot drain, usually a clogged filter, blocked hose, or failed drain pump. We dry the base, clear the drain path, and confirm the leak source before returning the unit to service.
Why Is My Thermador Oven Showing an F Code?
Thermador wall ovens flag an F-series fault when the control detects a problem, most often an open or shorted temperature sensor or a stuck relay on the control board. We read the exact code on site, test the sensor resistance against spec, and replace the sensor or board as the reading dictates.
Do You Service Thermador Freedom Induction Cooktops?
Yes. The Freedom induction cooktop uses a full-surface array of coils and multiple power boards. When a zone stops recognizing pans or cuts out under load, the fault is usually a coil, a power module, or the cooling fan that keeps those modules in range. We test each and replace the failed part.
My Thermador Pro Range Burner Will Not Light. What Is Wrong?
A star-burner that clicks without lighting usually has a fouled or wet igniter or a burner cap out of position. If every burner sparks at once, the spark module is at fault. We clean and reseat first, then replace the igniter or module only if it is genuinely failed.
Can You Fix a Thermador Freedom Refrigerator That Runs Warm?
Yes. Freedom columns and built-in refrigeration drift warm most often from an evaporator fan, a control fault, or a defrost problem. The display will sometimes show an alarm that narrows it. We diagnose the circuit and repair with genuine OEM parts.
Are Your Thermador Parts Model-Specific?
Yes. We install OEM Thermador components sourced for your exact model number, from igniters and spark modules to sensors, induction coils, and control boards.
