Cooking Appliance Repair · Bay Area

What we do

Cooking calls split three ways: pro ranges (Thermador, Z-Line, GE Monogram), wall ovens and cooktops (Bosch, Thermador, Fisher & Paykel), and range hoods. We are Manufacturer-Authorized by Z-Line and file Z-Line warranty paperwork directly. For Thermador we work to BSH service procedures and order through the BSH distribution network. We carry the common ignitors, thermocouples, oven temp sensors, induction power-module fans, and hood blower motors on the truck.

Workflow is the same: identify the failure with a meter, not by parts-swap. Test the gas valve micro-switch before condemning a spark module. Test the RTD before condemning a control board. Verify the cool-down fan thermistor placement before swapping a fan. The wrong starting point costs the customer money.

Gas work is licensed (CSLB #1136642) and we have the right gas-leak detector on the truck. Induction power-module work is bench-tested before we sign out.

Common issues. Typical repair.

Thermador Star Burner clicking, no light. Almost always the spark module, the ignitor electrode, or carbon buildup at the electrode tip. We clean, re-gap, and bench-test the gas valve micro-switch before we order a new module. One visit closeout in most cases.

Bosch induction cooktop, F47 or E5 fault. IGBT power-module overheating. Nine times out of ten it is a blocked cooling-fan vent under the cooktop, not a board failure. We clean the vent, verify the airflow, and the cooktop is back in service without a parts order.

Bosch wall oven, dead bake element. The European hidden bake element is a two-hour single-visit job if we have the model number ahead of the appointment. We pull the rear panel, swap, verify the resistance, and bench-test through a full bake cycle.

Z-Line Pro range, broiler will not light. The infrared broiler ignitor and the upper thermocouple fail together. We carry the kit and bench-test the gas valve micro-switch before closing up. Z-Line warranty filed directly when in coverage.

GE Cafe oven, F2 over-temp fault. Oven temp sensor (RTD) has drifted out of spec. Sensor replacement is a 30-minute job. Board is usually fine.

Range hood, switch-board dead. Z-Line and GE hoods both fail at the touch-board from grease ingress at the seam. We clean, re-seal, and replace the board only if the touch sensors test dead on the bench.

Fisher & Paykel cooktop, flame-failure code. Weak thermocouple, almost always. We carry the common thermocouples and ignitors on the truck.
