Repairing Thermador in Kensington
We repair Thermador appliances across Kensington, in all 1 of its ZIP code. A technician finds the fault on site, you see the price and decide, and we're independent rather than a Thermador service center.
Kensington grew up around a stop on the old Metropolitan Branch of the B&O, and the porch-fronted Victorians near the tracks still set its character. Past the town line, the streets of North Kensington, Kensington Estates and Rock Creek Hills fill in with brick and frame houses put up after the Second World War.
Call or book online, and we'll find a time that suits you.
Thermador: platform and parts
Thermador is part of the BSH family, and brands in a family share engineering and many components. For a repair in Kensington that helps: parts are easier to find, and the ways these designs tend to fail are well known.
Include the model number with your booking. Look for a sticker around the door opening, under the lid, along the frame or behind a lower panel; with it we can look up that design's known weak points and bring those parts.
Built-in and pro-style Thermador equipment
Most Thermador equipment is set into cabinetry or fastened in place, so for a visit in Kensington the first question is how to get at it. We plan that before the day, allow extra time, and protect the floor, cabinet fronts and counters before anything moves.
Replacing built-in Thermador equipment also means cabinet or counter work, so a fault that would retire a freestanding appliance is usually just a repair on one of these.
Where Thermador appliances sit in Kensington
Expect basement laundry, gas cooking on older supply lines, and kitchens that have been remodeled inside rooms never sized for today's deep refrigerators and dishwashers.
Whatever the badge, a Thermador appliance in Kensington is only as good as the drain, circuit, duct and water line behind it, and here the laundry is usually in a basement reached by a narrow stair under the older houses, and a basement or utility room off the garage in the postwar ones.
Why dryers stop drying
Clothes that come out warm and damp almost always mean the dryer can't get its air out. Around Kensington, the choke point may be a long duct from an upstairs laundry room, a hood at ground level on a postwar house, a foil hose crushed behind the machine, or a building exhaust shared by a whole stack of units.
Airflow is measured before the element or thermal fuse is touched, because a heating part fitted to a dryer that can't exhaust simply burns out again.
Gas ranges, gas dryers and safety
Three complaints come up again and again with gas appliances: the oven igniter glows and nothing lights, a cooktop burner ticks without catching, and a gas dryer turns but never warms. Most trace to a worn igniter, a weak valve coil or a flame sensor, all ordinary parts.
Gas piping and the shutoff valve behind the appliance aren't ours to work on; if we see a problem there, you'll be told to call a licensed gas fitter.

Thermador Repair Questions in Kensington
The questions that come up most often. Anything not covered here, ask us when you call, or add it to the booking form's notes field.
Have a different question?
Tell us what make it is and what's going wrong. A few things can be settled over the phone, and anything else gets looked at during the visit.
Usually. List every appliance giving trouble when you book a Kensington visit, with model numbers if you have them, so enough time is set aside and the likely parts come along.
No. Diagnosis comes first, because one symptom can point to parts with wildly different prices. After the technician finds the cause at your Kensington address, you get the quote, and nothing is touched until you say yes. If repairing it isn't sensible, you'll hear that too.
48 of them, from everyday names such as Whirlpool, GE, Samsung, LG and Frigidaire to built-in makers like Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador and Miele, plus commercial equipment from True, Hoshizaki, Manitowoc and others. We're independent, not an authorized service center for any of them.
Where Thermador still makes the part for your model number, that's what we fit. For discontinued parts there's sometimes an equivalent, and you'll know it's an equivalent before it's installed. Thermador shares parts with the other BSH brands, so compatible parts are usually easy to find, even for older units.
Usually repair. Thermador builds for a longer life than economy lines and supports its parts for longer, so one failed part in a ten-year-old unit tends to leave plenty of good appliance behind, especially if it's built into your cabinets.

Approve the Price
You get a plain explanation and a price for the repair. The work starts only if you say yes.
Fix and Check
The new part is fitted and the appliance is run through a cycle, so you can see it working.
