Owning a high-end appliance like a Thermador single or double oven or a Dacor oven comes with its perks, but it also means dealing with specialized components that can sometimes fail. One common issue that many Thermador and Dacor owners face is the broiler or bake function suddenly stopping. When this happens, the culprit is often the relay on the control board, which, when faulty, usually requires the entire board to be replaced.
The Challenge: Finding Replacement Parts for High End Ovens
Here’s where it gets tricky: Thermador and Dacor, like many appliance manufacturers, may stop producing replacement parts for older models. This can leave you in a tough spot, especially if your oven is no longer under warranty. The idea of replacing a high-end appliance because of a single malfunctioning board can be frustrating and costly.
What Are Your Options?
At Atlanta City Appliance Repair, Inc., we specialize in finding solutions even when parts are hard to come by. Here are your options:
- Sourcing a Replacement Part: We have access to a network of suppliers that can help us locate hard-to-find parts, including control boards for older Thermador and Dacor models. This option can be more affordable than you might think, especially compared to the cost of replacing the entire oven.
- Refurbished Control Boards: If a new control board isn’t available, refurbished boards are a viable alternative. These boards have been tested and restored to function like new, offering a reliable solution at a fraction of the cost.
- Board Repair Services: Another option is to remove your existing control board and send it to a certified repair shop. These specialists can often repair the board, with a success rate of around 90%. While not all boards can be repaired, this option is often faster and less expensive than waiting for a rare replacement part.
Common Issues with Thermador and Dacor Ovens
Beyond the broiler or bake function failing, other common issues with Thermador and Dacor ovens include:
- Temperature Inconsistencies: If your oven isn’t heating evenly or maintaining the correct temperature, it’s often due to a failing control board or faulty sensors.
- Unresponsive Controls: Buttons or touch panels that don’t respond can also point to a problem with the control board.
- Self-Cleaning Cycle Problems: Some Thermador and Dacor owners report issues with the self-cleaning cycle, where the oven locks up or fails to complete the cycle, often due to control board malfunctions.
