Thermador cooktop diagnosed fast
A Thermador cooktop element stopped responding. He found a cracked switch, ordered the genuine part, and came back to finish without another trip charge. Straightforward and fair.

What we repair
Common Thermador faults we service in Concord
From Star burner cooktops to refrigeration columns, these are the issues our Thermador-focused technicians see most often across Concord kitchens.
Star burner igniters
Burners that click without lighting, spark continuously, or won't seat the flame — usually a fouled igniter, cracked spark module, or a clogged Star burner port that needs cleaning and a factory-spec check.
Induction & electric cooktop faults
Dead zones, error codes, fan noise, or a cooktop that won't recognize pans. We test the induction coils, power board and sensors to isolate the real fault before quoting parts.
Oven element & sensor
Wall ovens that run cold, overshoot, fail to preheat, or throw temperature errors — typically a bake or broil element, the temperature sensor, or the door latch on self-clean models.
Column cooling & defrost
Built-in refrigeration and freezer columns drifting warm, frosting, or short-cycling — we check airflow, the defrost circuit, fans and condenser, which Concord's inland heat stresses hardest.
Control board & electronics
Blank or frozen displays, unresponsive touch controls, and intermittent shutdowns. We confirm the board is truly at fault with electrical readings rather than swapping it on a guess.

Reviews
Thermador owners across Concord
How we diagnosed the real fault on cooktops, ovens and columns — and stood behind the repair.
Thermador fridge column rescued
Our Thermador built-in column was icing the back wall and pooling water. They cleared the blocked defrost drain, replaced the heater, and the labor was covered for a year. Quick and clean.
Built-in cooled down the same afternoon
Our 648PRO was running warm on both sides during that first May heat wave. The tech checked the condenser and airflow first instead of pushing a big part, found a failing evaporator fan, and had it cold again that afternoon. The $89 service call came off the bill once I approved the repair.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you repair Thermador cooktops and ovens in Concord, or only refrigeration?
Both. We service Thermador gas and induction cooktops, wall ovens, and built-in refrigeration columns throughout Concord and Contra Costa. Cooktop igniter problems and oven heating faults are among our most frequent Thermador calls, alongside column cooling issues. One visit can often cover more than one appliance in the same kitchen.
Why does my Thermador Star burner click but not light?
Continuous clicking with no flame usually means a fouled or wet igniter, a cracked spark module, or a clogged Star burner port. Sometimes it is a single burner; sometimes the whole bank sparks because one igniter is shorting. We clean and test the burner to factory spec and replace only what has actually failed, using genuine OEM parts.
My Thermador induction cooktop has a dead zone — is that fixable?
Often, yes. A single zone that stops heating or won't recognize pans typically points to a failed induction coil, a power-board section, or a sensor — not the whole cooktop. We test each zone and the control electronics to isolate the fault, then quote the specific part rather than recommending a full replacement on a guess.
How much does a Thermador repair cost in Concord?
It starts with an $89 service call that is waived when you book the repair. From there, draft ranges run roughly $200–$650 for cooktop igniter or induction faults, $350–$1,250 for oven element and sensor work, and $400–$900 for column cooling repairs. Your final quote depends on the model, parts and access, confirmed on site.
Are the replacement parts genuine Thermador?
Yes. We install factory-certified, genuine OEM parts and follow Thermador service specifications, so igniters, elements, temperature sensors and control boards match the original components. Genuine parts matter on high-end appliances, where a generic substitute can throw off calibration or fail early.
Why does my Thermador refrigeration column run warm in summer?
Concord's hot inland summers near Mount Diablo push extra heat-load onto a column's condenser and fans. When the condenser packs with dust or a fan weakens, the column can't shed heat and drifts warm or short-cycles. A cleaning and a healthy fan often restore cooling for far less than any sealed-system work, so we always check that first.
Do Thermador repairs come with a warranty?
Every repair we complete carries a 365-day labor warranty, whether it is a single cooktop igniter or a full column defrost repair. Combined with genuine OEM parts, that means the fix is built to hold through the rest of the inland-heat season and well beyond.
