Thermador Refrigerator Repair — FAQ

Do you use genuine Thermador OEM parts for all repairs?
Always. We source genuine Thermador OEM parts through authorized distributors. OEM parts maintain your unit's safety certifications and designed performance specifications. We won't substitute with generic components.
Can you service my Thermador refrigerator after the manufacturer warranty has expired?
Yes. We are an independent out-of-warranty specialist — warranty status doesn't affect our ability to service your unit. We provide the same quality of service and use the same OEM parts regardless of warranty status. Contact us when manufacturer coverage no longer applies.
My Thermador refrigerator isn't cooling properly. What are the likely causes?
Cooling performance loss is the most common refrigerator complaint we receive. Likely culprits include dirty condenser coils, a failing evaporator fan motor, a faulty thermostat, or early compressor issues. A proper on-site diagnostic isolates the root cause before any parts are recommended.
Why did my Thermador refrigerator's ice maker stop working?
Ice maker failures are typically caused by a failed water inlet valve, a clogged or overdue water filter, a frozen fill tube, or a faulty ice maker module. We identify which component failed before ordering any parts. Check whether the water filter is overdue — an expired filter can restrict flow enough to stop ice production entirely.
Do you provide written quotes before starting any repair?
We provide a firm written quote after the diagnostic — before any work begins. No repair work starts until you've reviewed and approved the quote. Pricing is fully transparent — what we quote is what you pay.

Licensed & Trained. OEM Parts. Honest Pricing.

Transparent quote before we touch anything. No hidden fees. Mon – Sun: 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM.
