The $89 service call is waived with the repair.

Common Thermador issues
Symptom, cause, and fix
| Symptom | Likely cause | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Star burner will not spark | Worn electrode, fouled cap or spark module | Clean and test ignition, replace electrode/module with OEM parts |
| Oven temperature off | Sensor drift, element or calibration | Verify cavity temperature and recalibrate or replace the part |
| Steam oven not generating steam | Water valve, pump or sensor fault | Test the steam circuit and replace the proven component |
| Built-in column not cooling | Sealed system, damper or control | Pressure/electrical testing then targeted refrigeration repair |
Diagnosis follows on-site testing for ignition, temperature and sealed systems.
What we see on Thermador
Where Thermador kitchens need us most
Thermador's signature features are also where most service calls begin. The Star-burner design spreads flame for even coverage, but those same burners depend on a clean spark electrode and a healthy spark module to light reliably; the patented ExtraLow setting pulses to hold a delicate simmer, so a control fault can make it cycle or click. We service the whole ignition and control path rather than swapping one part.
On the oven side, Thermador steam and speed ovens add water systems and electronics that a conventional oven does not have — steam generators, pumps, sensors and control boards — and those are the parts that fail first. We diagnose steam generation and temperature accuracy with reference tools and recalibrate or replace only the proven component. We also service Freedom induction cooktops and Thermador built-in refrigeration columns, so a full Thermador kitchen stays under one roof.
Every repair uses genuine OEM parts and follows Thermador's service specifications, backed by our 365-day labor warranty — the standard we hold across every brand in an Atherton estate kitchen.

One burner on our Viking cooktop kept clicking but would not light. The specialist replaced the spark module with an OEM part and cleaned the sealed burners. On time, tidy, and clearly knew Viking gas systems inside out.
The oven was browning unevenly and the convection fan was loud. They calibrated the temperature and replaced the fan motor in one visit. Genuine Viking parts, a clear quote up front, and the service call credited toward the work.
I appreciated the honesty. The igniter on our Viking double oven had failed; they quoted a clear range, installed a genuine part, and the $89 service fee disappeared when I approved the repair. No upsell, no drama.

Frequently asked questions
Do you repair Thermador appliances in Atherton?
Yes. In addition to our Viking specialty, we service Thermador star-burner cooktops and rangetops, ranges, steam and speed ovens, Freedom induction surfaces, and built-in refrigeration columns. As an independent Viking repair specialist, we cover Atherton 94027 plus Menlo Park, Redwood City, Woodside, Palo Alto and Portola Valley, diagnose to factory spec, and repair with genuine OEM parts backed by a 365-day labor warranty. The $89 service call is waived with repair.
Why are my Thermador star burners not sparking?
It is usually a worn spark electrode, a wet or fouled burner cap, or a spark-module fault, and food spillover or moisture under the cap is a common trigger. We clean and dry the burner assembly, test the ignition path with factory-spec diagnostics, replace the failed electrode or module with a genuine OEM component, and confirm every burner sparks and lights reliably. The $89 service call is waived with repair.
Can you service a Thermador steam or speed oven?
Yes. Steam and speed ovens add water valves, pumps, steam generators and sensors that a conventional oven does not have, and those parts tend to fail first. We diagnose steam-generation, sensor and control-board faults, descale or clear the steam circuit, recalibrate temperature against reference tools, and repair with genuine OEM parts. All labor is backed by our 365-day warranty, and the $89 service call is waived with repair.
How much does Thermador repair cost?
Most Thermador cooking repairs run between $250 and $1,250 depending on the failed part and model, with simple ignition or sensor jobs at the low end and control boards higher; refrigeration sealed-system work can exceed that range. We give a clear written quote after on-site diagnosis before any work begins. The $89 service call is waived with repair, and all labor carries our 365-day warranty.
My Thermador ExtraLow simmer burner cycles oddly — can you fix it?
Yes. The patented ExtraLow burners pulse to hold very low heat, so a control or igniter fault can make them cycle or click unexpectedly. We test the burner control and ignition and restore a steady, gentle simmer with the correct OEM part.
Do you service the Thermador Freedom induction cooktop?
We do. Freedom induction and other induction cooktops can show element, sensing or control faults; we diagnose the board and sensors and repair with genuine parts, then confirm even, responsive heating across the surface. All work is backed by our 365-day labor warranty, with the $89 service call waived once you approve the repair.
Do you offer same-day Thermador service?
Same-day and next-day appointments are usually available across Atherton 94027 and nearby Menlo Park, Redwood City, Woodside, Palo Alto and Portola Valley. We schedule around gated entries, property managers and estate access, and can coordinate with a housekeeper or caretaker when you are away. Call (650) 668-5618 to confirm a window; the $89 service call is waived with repair and all labor carries our 365-day warranty.
