How fast can you get to Berkeley for a Thermador call?

We block Inner-East-Bay days most weeks, so Berkeley is usually a routed stop. Drive from San Ramon is 35 to 45 minutes. Booked windows get a written arrival time before we leave the shop.

My Thermador cooktop clicks on every burner. Is the whole thing bad?

Almost never. Cross-clicking like that points at one bad spark module or a single shorted electrode, not the whole cooktop. We test each electrode on the bench and replace only what failed.

What does a Thermador repair cost?

Diagnostic is $75, waived when you book the repair. Ignition and dishwasher pump jobs run modest. We quote the work in writing before we start.

Thermador in Berkeley

Thermador in Berkeley kitchens.

Most of the Thermador we see in Berkeley is up in the hills. North Berkeley and the Berkeley Hills remodels across 94707 and 94708 run Thermador dual-fuel ranges and wall ovens next to Sub-Zero columns and Bosch dishwashers. A lot of those installs have a couple of decades on them, which is when the Star Burner ignition and the Pro Grand oven controls start acting up. The flatland apartments down in 94703 and 94704 lean GE and LG, so a Thermador call usually sends us up the hill.

The most common Berkeley Thermador call is Star Burner ignition. One burner sparks but never lights, or every ignitor on the cooktop clicks every time you light a single burner. That is usually the spark module, the ignitor electrode, or a carboned-up electrode tip masking as a dead module. We clean, re-gap, and bench-test before we order anything. The other steady one in the hill homes is a Pro Grand oven that heats but drifts off temperature after years of use.

What the work looks like

A built-in sealed-system leak repair.

Nitrogen pressure and a soap-bubble test on a built-in fridge line set. We map every leak source before we braze.

The corroded copper up close. After fifteen-plus years this is why a real fix rebuilds the sealed run, so you do not pay the labor twice.

What the work looks like

A gas oven burner lighting clean after service.

A gas oven bake burner lighting with an even blue flame after service. The white bar is the glow-bar igniter, and when it weakens the oven will not heat even though it still glows.

Common repairs we do

What we close on the truck.

Star Burner ignition fault. Spark module, ignitor electrode, or a fouled valve switch. We clean and re-gap the electrode first. Carbon at the tip fakes a dead module.
Pro Grand / Pro Harmony oven won't hold temp. Thermocouple and thermostat wear after years of use. On dual-fuel it is often the fan-circuit relay on the control board.
Sapphire dishwasher E15 leak code. Recirc pump seal weeps, float trips before you see water. Pull the unit, replace the pump and base-pan check valve, reset.
Freedom column ice-maker assembly. On T18 and T24 columns the mold cracks and the harvest cycle hangs. We swap the whole assembly, harvest motor included.
