Built-in and pro cooking
Thermador in a Los Altos estate kitchen
Thermador is a fixture in Los Altos estate kitchens because it spans both sides of the room — built-in refrigeration columns and freezer drawers on one wall, a professional range or a cooktop and wall ovens on the other. That breadth is part of the appeal, but it also means one brand can present two very different repairs: a sealed refrigeration fault behaves nothing like a burner that will not light, and a generic appliance tech rarely handles both well.
Our work is focused on premium built-in appliances, so we are comfortable moving between a column that has stopped cooling and a pro range whose oven drifts off temperature. We measure and confirm the actual fault before we quote, fit genuine OEM parts, and verify the unit performs before we leave — the same careful, honest standard we bring to every brand we service.
If you are not certain which Thermador units you have, the rating plate is usually inside the refrigerator cabinet, behind a freezer drawer, or under a cooktop. Knowing it in advance helps us arrive with the right parts and avoid a second trip.

Common Thermador problems
A quick map of what we most often find behind each Thermador symptom in Los Altos kitchens.
| Symptom | Likely cause | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| Built-in refrigerator too warm | Evaporator fan, defrost fault or airflow | Verify zone temps & airflow, replace the failed component, confirm pull-down |
| Freezer drawer icing up | Defrost heater / sensor or worn drawer seal | Test the defrost circuit, replace heater or sensor, check the seal and alignment |
| Ice maker not producing | Inlet valve, module or a freeze-up | Test the water supply & valve, thaw and repair the module, verify the cycle |
| Oven runs hot or cold | Temperature sensor, igniter or control | Measure actual vs set temperature, replace the sensor or igniter, recalibrate |
| Cooktop burner will not ignite | Igniter, spark module or clogged port | Clean and test the igniter, replace the module, confirm a clean, steady flame |
Exact cause is confirmed on site — we do not replace parts on a guess.

Reviews
Thermador repairs in Los Altos
-
Thermador built-in fridge ice maker stopped and the fresh-food side warmed. They fixed both in one visit, protected the cabinetry, and explained everything. The labor is warrantied for a year.
-
Thermador freezer drawer iced up repeatedly. Methodical defrost-system diagnosis and a genuine part. No more frost, and the $89 service call was waived with the repair.
-
Our built-in refrigerator column stopped holding temperature the week we were hosting. They came out, diagnosed a failing evaporator fan, and had the right Sub-Zero part on the second visit. The $89 service call was applied to the repair and everything is back to a steady 38°F.
Common questions
Thermador appliance repair — FAQ
Do you repair Thermador built-in refrigerators in Los Altos?
Yes. We are an independent specialist in premium built-in refrigeration and repair Thermador built-in refrigerator and freezer columns throughout Los Altos and nearby Peninsula cities. We diagnose cooling, frost, airflow and control faults on site, fit genuine OEM parts, and confirm the unit pulls down and holds temperature before we finish.
Can you fix a Thermador freezer drawer that keeps icing up?
Usually yes. Frost or ice in a freezer drawer most often traces to the defrost circuit — a heater or sensor — or to a worn drawer seal letting humid air in. We test the defrost components, replace the failed part, and check the seal and drawer alignment so the problem does not return rather than just clearing the ice.
My Thermador ice maker stopped working — can you help?
Yes. A Thermador ice maker that stops producing is usually a water inlet valve, a fault in the ice module, or a freeze-up blocking the cycle. We confirm the water supply, test the valve and module, thaw and repair as needed, and verify a full ice cycle before we leave so you know it is genuinely fixed.
Do you service Thermador ranges, ovens and cooktops too?
We do. Alongside refrigeration we repair Thermador professional ranges, wall ovens and cooktops — ignition and burner faults, ovens running off temperature, convection problems and surface controls. Because Thermador spans both refrigeration and pro cooking, having one specialist for the whole kitchen keeps your repair consistent and accountable.
Do you use genuine OEM Thermador parts?
Always. We install factory-certified, genuine OEM Thermador parts and follow manufacturer-recommended procedures. Generic or salvaged components are a false economy in a built-in or pro appliance — they fail sooner and can stress the rest of the system. Because our labor is warrantied for a full year, we have every reason to fit the right part the first time.
Are you an authorized Thermador service center?
No — we are an independent repair company, not an authorized or factory-certified Thermador service center, and we are clear about that. What we offer is extensive hands-on experience with premium built-in and pro appliances, genuine OEM parts, work that follows manufacturer-recommended procedures, and a 365-day labor warranty. If your unit is under manufacturer warranty, we will tell you honestly.
How soon can you come out in Los Altos?
We book the soonest realistic appointment, often within a day or two, and confirm a time window rather than an unrealistic same-hour promise. Call (650) 668-1172 or book online for the earliest slot, and let us know the model so we can arrive prepared.
