Thermador Expertise

Why trust OPUS with your Thermador?

Thermador has been manufacturing cooking and kitchen appliances from their headquarters in Irvine, California since 1916 — over a century of engineering that introduced the first wall oven to the American kitchen. The Star Burner design delivers 56% more coverage than conventional round burners, the Freedom Induction cooktop lets you place cookware anywhere on the surface, and the column refrigeration runs on a separate sealed system for each zone. These aren't standard appliances, and they don't respond well to standard repair approaches.

Our technicians carry factory-level training across the full Thermador product line — Pro Harmony and Pro Grand ranges, Masterpiece and Professional wall ovens, Emerald and Sapphire dishwashers, Freedom Induction and gas cooktops, column refrigerators, and wine preservation units. We use the manufacturer's diagnostic protocols to read error codes, test induction coil circuits, and trace gas valve faults that general repair shops often misdiagnose. Whether you need Thermador oven repair near me or cooktop service, we deliver precision diagnostics backed by factory protocols. Every replacement part we install is genuine OEM, sourced through authorized channels.

OPUS has been the trusted Thermador repair team in Encinitas, Coronado, and across San Diego County since 2016. We're locally owned, factory-certified, and every repair comes with our 90-day parts and labor guarantee. If something doesn't hold, we come back at no charge.

Thermador ovens that won’t heat — bake won’t engage, broil cuts out, convection runs cold — have a small set of likely causes. Our diagnostic walkthrough on Thermador oven not heating covers element resistance tests, igniter-glow timing, and the common control-board faults we see on Pro-Grand and Masterpiece units.

Common Thermador Issues

Problems we fix every week.

Star Burner Ignition Failure

The Star Burner's five-pointed design uses a central igniter and multiple gas ports. When the igniter cracks or the spark module weakens, one or more points won't light. We test the igniter, spark module, and gas valve individually.

Induction Cooktop Not Heating

Freedom Induction surfaces rely on electromagnetic coils under the glass. A failed coil, blown control board fuse, or cookware detection error can kill one or more zones. We test each coil circuit and replace only the failed component.

Oven Temperature Drift

Convection ovens can develop temperature swings when the temp sensor drifts or the convection fan motor loses speed. We calibrate the sensor, test the heating elements, and verify airflow with a thermal probe.

Dishwasher Not Draining

Emerald and Sapphire models use a condensation drying system that depends on proper drainage. A blocked drain pump, clogged filter basket, or failed drain solenoid keeps water pooling at the bottom.

Column Refrigerator Temperature Fluctuation

The Freedom columns run independent sealed systems for each zone. A failing thermistor, sluggish evaporator fan, or dirty condenser can cause one column to warm while the other holds steady.

Gas Valve Malfunction on Range

Pro Harmony and Pro Grand ranges use precision gas valves for each burner. A stuck valve can restrict gas flow to one burner while others work fine. We test valve diaphragms and solenoids individually.

Convection Fan Motor Failure

When the convection fan slows or seizes, the oven heats unevenly — the top rack burns while the bottom stays undercooked. We replace the motor with OEM parts and verify balanced airflow.

Speed Oven Microwave Circuit Failure

Speed ovens combine convection and microwave in one cavity. A blown magnetron, failed inverter, or tripped thermal fuse disables the microwave function while convection still works.

Control Board Error Codes

The appliances display alphanumeric error codes across every line. We cross-reference each code against the factory service database, isolate the faulty sensor or relay, and replace only what's needed — not the entire board.

What's Covered

What you get when we service your Thermador.

Thermador covers the full kitchen — dishwashers, ranges, ovens, fridges, wine columns — and pricing varies by appliance and failure mode. Rather than publish ranges, here's what's guaranteed on every Thermador call.

Written Thermador quote, signed before any work
After diagnosing your Thermador (Star Burner spark timing, ExtraLow valve travel, fan-motor amperage, dishwasher pump flow), we send a written quote with OEM parts, labor, and a timeline. No work starts without written approval.
$80 Thermador diagnostic, applied to repair
The flat $80 covers a complete Thermador diagnostic — testing Star Burner ignition, ExtraLow simmer modules, convection-fan controls, dishwasher inlet/drain. Approve the repair and the $80 comes off the final invoice.
OEM Thermador parts only
Genuine Thermador parts via the authorized distributor network — Star Burner caps, spark modules, valve cartridges, fan motors, dishwasher pumps. We don't substitute aftermarket parts on Thermador.
90-day Thermador guarantee, parts and labor
If the same ignition, oven, or appliance issue returns within 90 days on the same Thermador unit, we come back at no charge — no second diagnostic, no parts cost.
Truck stocks common Thermador parts
Our vans carry spark modules, igniters, valve cartridges for Thermador — most repairs complete on the first visit. Special-order parts get a firm timeline upfront.
Full Thermador model coverage
We service Pro-Grand ranges, Pro-Harmony ranges, Masterpiece refrigeration, dishwashers, wall ovens, cooktops — PRG-, PRD-, T-, HMW-, and CIT-series. Same diagnostic, same OEM parts, same guarantee.

Thermador repair scope and pricing vary by failure mode (Star Burner spark timing) and parts required. We diagnose first, then quote in writing — the $80 covers diagnosis end-to-end.

What Thermador owners say

Real Thermador repairs. Real reviews.

★★★★★

We came home to a puddle under our Thermador Emerald dishwasher — mid-cycle it had stopped and water was sitting at the bottom. The OPUS technician found that the drain pump motor had seized and a small crack in the sump housing was letting water leak onto the floor. He replaced both with OEM factory parts and ran three test cycles before leaving. That was two months ago and it's been flawless since. The $80 diagnostic rolled right into the bill.

★★★★★

The microwave function on our Thermador speed oven stopped working completely — convection was fine but the microwave side was dead. OPUS diagnosed a blown magnetron and a tripped thermal fuse from a clogged internal vent. Both parts were ordered OEM and installed within three days. What impressed us was the technician explaining that replacing just the magnetron without clearing the vent would have caused the same failure again. Saved us from a second repair.

★★★★★

Our Thermador wine column started climbing to 62 degrees in the upper zone — way too warm for the pinots we keep there. The technician traced it to a failing compressor start relay and a condenser that needed cleaning. He had the relay on the truck, cleaned the condenser, and the temperature came back down to 55 within a few hours. Really careful work — he even adjusted the humidity setting we didn't know existed.

FAQ

Thermador repair — common questions.

How much does Thermador repair typically cost in San Diego?
We charge an $80 diagnostic fee, which is applied toward your repair cost if you proceed with us. Thermador jobs typically range from $200–$800 depending on the component and complexity. For example, a Star Burner assembly replacement might be $350–$500, while a control board replacement could run $500–$800. We provide an upfront quote before we begin work.
My Thermador range has a Star Burner that won't ignite — is that a common issue?
Yes, Star Burner ignition failure is one of the most common issues we see on Thermador ranges. The problem usually stems from a faulty igniter, a clogged burner port, or moisture in the ignition circuit. We carry OEM ignition modules and can replace them same-day. If it's a port blockage, we clean and test the burner on-site.
Do you service older Thermador models that are no longer in production?
Absolutely. We repair units from the 1980s to the latest models. Older ranges and wall ovens are often built more durably than newer ones, and we stock many legacy parts. For discontinued parts, we source them from OEM suppliers or find compatible cross-reference components. Call us for your specific model year.
Will using a third-party repair service void my Thermador warranty?
Not if you use a certified technician—and we are. Our technicians are factory-trained and use genuine OEM parts. This maintains your manufacturer's warranty coverage. If your appliance is still under warranty, we can file the service claim with Thermador on your behalf.
How long do Thermador appliances typically last?
With proper maintenance, Thermador appliances typically last 15–25 years. Ranges and wall ovens often exceed 20 years because they have fewer moving parts. Refrigerators and dishwashers may need component replacement (compressor, pump, control board) around 12–18 years. We've successfully repaired units from the 1990s and earlier.
My Thermador dishwasher shows an E24 error — what does that mean?
E24 indicates a drain pump or drain line issue. Water isn't draining properly from the wash chamber. Common causes: a kinked drain hose, debris clogging the filter, or a failed drain pump motor. We inspect the entire drain path, clean the filter, replace the pump if needed, and test the cycle. Most E24 repairs are $300–$600.
Is Thermador induction cooktop repair different from gas cooktop repair?
Yes, significantly. Induction cooktop repair requires different expertise than gas models. Induction cooktops (Freedom Induction) use electromagnetic coils instead of fire, so they require electronics expertise and specialized testing equipment. Gas cooktops involve burner valves, ignition circuits, and sealed systems. Our technicians are trained on both. Induction repairs typically involve control board or power module replacement ($400–$700), while gas repairs focus on valves and igniters ($250–$500).
Can you repair Thermador column refrigerators?
Yes. The column refrigerators (refrigerator + freezer + wine cooler configurations) are complex, but we specialize in them. Common issues include temperature fluctuations, damper failures, and sealed system leaks. We carry compressor assemblies, damper motors, and control boards for column models. Sealed system repairs ($600–$900) are on the higher end due to EPA recovery requirements.
How quickly can you get Thermador parts if they're not on the truck?
For common parts (igniters, burner assemblies, dampers, small motors), we stock them on our service vehicles. For specialty parts (control boards, sealed system components, door seals), we order from OEM suppliers and usually receive them within 2–3 business days. If the repair is urgent, we can request expedited shipping. We'll keep you updated on part status and timing.
Do you install new Thermador appliances or only repair?
We focus on repair, but we work closely with local dealers and contractors. If you're upgrading to a new range, oven, or cooktop, we can provide recommendations and coordinate with installation partners. Many of our customers have us service their existing appliances until they're ready to replace them, and we help with the transition.
