Thermador's signature is the Star Burner — the four-pointed star design that gives more even heat distribution than round burners. It's also the part we get the most calls about, because the star geometry catches food spills in ways that eventually clog the burner ports. Most Thermador service in Florida is preventative — clean the star burners properly, replace a worn igniter, swap a dishwasher pump — but the brand is owned by Bosch, which means parts logistics are excellent and most repairs finish on the first visit.
Spilled sauce dries inside the star burner ports and chokes airflow — the flame turns yellow, weak, or uneven across the points. The fix is removal, ultrasonic clean, port-by-port wire-brush, and reinstall. We do this regularly; takes 30-45 minutes for the whole cooktop.
Thermador dishwashers (DWHD-series) use a Bosch-built drain pump and door latch sensor. When the cycle stalls and water pools at the bottom, it's one of three things: pump impeller seized, drain hose check valve clogged, or the door latch micro-switch gone bad. All are truck-stock parts.
Thermador-branded refrigerators are built on the Bosch platform — same compressors, evaporators, and control logic. Sealed-system work requires EPA-certified refrigerant handling and a vacuum pump pulled to 500 microns. We carry R-134a and the gauges to confirm a clean charge.
Thermador wall ovens (PO-series, ME-series) use a thermistor sensor mounted in the oven cavity. After 6-8 years it can drift, reading 25-40°F low. The fix is sensor replacement and a control panel recalibration.
The Thermador Pro Grand series uses a dedicated control board for oven mode logic. When you see all the lights flash, error codes cycle, or the oven won't accept input, the board is the most likely cause. Part is $350-$500, install is 90 minutes.
Flat $75 diagnostic, applied to the repair if you proceed. Star burner cleaning runs $150-$250. Dishwasher pump or door latch replacement is $250-$400. Wall oven sensor work is around $300. Sealed-system refrigerator work is the high end — $800-$1,400 depending on the failure. We'll quote everything upfront with the part number on the invoice.
