Thermador Cooking Appliance Repair · El Cerrito, CA

Thermador in El Cerrito shows up almost exclusively above the fog line. The hillside remodels climbing off Moeser Lane and Barrett Avenue toward the Wildcat Canyon ridge run dual-fuel ranges and wall ovens in kitchens that get real sun most of the year, a different world from the stucco bungalows down in the flats near San Pablo Avenue, where original kitchens from decades back are still common and the appliances inside them lean toward more modest brands. A Thermador service call here almost always means climbing the hill.

Star Burner ignition is the call we get most. A burner sparks and won't catch, or every ignitor on the cooktop fires at once when you go to light just one. Nine times out of ten that's the spark module, the ignitor electrode, or carbon buildup on an electrode tip pretending to be a dead module. We clean and re-gap first, then bench-test before anything gets ordered. The other recurring one up in these hillside kitchens is a Pro Grand oven that heats fine but slowly drifts off its set temperature as the unit ages.
