Nicolas P Fort Lauderdale , FL May 31, 2015 Thermidor downdraft ventilator would not go up down Purchased new motor with Appliance Parts. First motor came defective, would not move, but I contacted customer support and they sent a new one out immediately, that one worked fine and was able to make the repair. I normally call in an appliance repair company to work on my Thermidor appliances, but this is one appliance they didn't want to touch. It was a cumbersome repair but not all that difficult once I disassembled the unit.

James V Denver , CO December 28, 2018 Appliance: Thermador Cook "N" Vent Downdraft System CVS30RS My Thermador pop up exhaust fan for the cooktop would not move up or down stuck “up” I replaced the drive motor and the switch. Although the switch tested good, I decided to replace it anyway. This was a difficult replacement job. I had to remove the cooktop and the entire exhaust fan assembly. It wasn’t easy to lift the 60lb unit out of the marble countertop hole by myself. I had help installing it though. It took several hours to disassemble the unit and to install the motor and switch. Exact replacement for the motor and switch, which was great, helped. 35 years as an aircraft mechanic also helped. I did a lot of cleaning as it was 16 years old. Now it works like a champ!
