Thermador units mostly appear as built-in refrigerators, ranges and dishwashers in newer Green Hills and Belle Meade homes, and in remodeled kitchens across Davidson County. The failures we see most often involve the control board or touch-control panel rather than mechanical wear. Thermador is a trademark of its manufacturer; we are not affiliated with or authorized by the brand.
Thermador refrigerator problems
A Thermador built-in refrigerator that's running but not cold enough often points to a control board fault after a spring storm surge. Check that the unit has power and that the grille and vent space around the cabinet panel have clear airflow before anything else; a blocked vent space can mimic a bigger problem. Ice maker or dispenser leaks usually trace back to a fill valve affected by mineral buildup in the water supply. If the refrigerator has been warm for hours with food inside, move what you can to a cooler and call us.
Thermador range and dishwasher repair
On ranges, a burner that won't light usually needs a new igniter, and an oven that won't hold temperature often points to a failed bake element on an electric oven, a weak igniter on a gas oven, or a control board after repeated high-heat use. Wall ovens and cooktops fail the same ways, though the panel comes out differently. If you smell gas near the range, leave it off and call the gas utility first, before calling us; if the smell is strong, get everyone outside. On dishwashers, a persistent drain error code and water left in the tub usually mean a clogged filter, a blocked drain hose or a failed drain pump. Pull the lower rack and clear the filter before you call.
What to expect with Thermador parts
Here's the part people don't expect: Thermador control boards and many sealed-system components are ordered through the manufacturer's own supply chain rather than pulled from a local shelf. That typically means two visits, one to diagnose the fault and confirm the exact part, and a second once it arrives. Some common parts can be sourced locally and others have to be ordered. If the part is available locally, the repair is often finished during that visit; if not, we order the correct part and come back. We'll tell you which situation you're in before we start.
Repair or replace an older Thermador unit
For an older Thermador appliance, whether repair makes sense usually depends on the specific part rather than the age of the unit by itself. A single board or igniter replacement is often worthwhile even on a ten or twelve year old range or refrigerator, since the rest of the unit is typically still sound. Repeated sealed-system failures on a refrigerator, or a unit that's already needed several separate repairs, point more toward replacement, and we'll tell you that directly instead of running up unnecessary parts orders. Built-in units in custom cabinetry add another factor, and access through the panel or cabinet also adds time to any repair: matching a new unit's dimensions to existing millwork can cost more than the repair itself, which is worth weighing before deciding either way.

Technician insight
A control board on a Thermador unit tucked into a narrow Belle Meade kitchen usually means added time for panel access on top of the ordinary wait for the manufacturer to ship the part, so plan on that when a board is involved.
A common call in Green Hills after a brief outage
A built-in Thermador refrigerator starts running warm after a short power interruption while the compressor still keeps things cool enough for a day or two. A failed control board is a frequent cause, and the part is usually ordered through the manufacturer rather than found locally.
