Charles W Granger , IN December 16, 2014 Was told 2 burners had no ignition or gas and 2 others had gas but wouldn't ignite Bought a Thermador PRSE48" dual fuel range from Craigslist really cheap because it didn't work. Did a little research and decided to overhaul most of the top (gas) end. For what I paid for it it was worth it and I'd have a good stove with new components. Replaced the griddle thermostat, ignition micro switches, ignition re-igniter box, installed fixing kit with 2 new potentiometers, both solenoids, and gas regulator. Had to replace 2 gas lines, all 4 jets, and one brass nut that were corroded or damaged in removal. Replaced all igniters and clips and main oven door seal. Kept the wiring harness. The only issue was the directions for re-igniter are WRONG. Don't connect wires to the same "number" as directions say, instead connect them in the same "position" as the old one. I connected them to the number as directions say for 4-burner but the ignition won't stop after lighting - it just keeps ticking away. Pulled it apart and put them to the same position (it says to do for a 6-burner) and then it worked correctly. Spent about 2 months cleaning it - it was filthy inside and out. Now it looks great and everything works perfectly. A like-new 48" Thermador for the cost of parts. 90% of the time spent was cleaning. I'm just a DIYer and have never owned a stove like this or overhauled a stove before and it wasn't a bad project.

Carmine P New York , NY March 18, 2018 Appliance: Model THERMADOR PRG304US Front left burner igniter works but no gas; Thermador PRG304US Had two different repair companies come in to repair my Thermador PRG304US Range. Both explained the the "broken" parts were no longer available making the repair impossible and thus I would have to buy a new range. Ok, but before I shell out $5K to replace the one I had, I needed to answer the questions I had. After twenty minutes of online research and the help of AppliancePros I was able to repair my own range. The techs obviously mis-diagnosed the problem, and not only that the one guy "pretended" that he attempted a repair that he never did. Repair was not overly difficult for someone with a little "handyman" skill and common sense, but was time consuming. Had to remove multiple parts for proper exposure to allow replacement of solenoid. The Venturi Tubes were frozen also adding to the difficulty and time required.

Thomas W Santa Rosa , CA July 03, 2017 Appliance: Thermador RDSS30 S/N 9707 & UP 1 burner not working 1 would not "simmer" Replaced potentiometers, simmer control unit, and 2 solenoids. Could have been a fairly easy project, except 1 of the venturi's had "seized" preventing even the removal of the range top. After attempting to use an "easy out", which failed, I had to drill out the brass venturi, destroying it, and the jet assembly below. Once the range top was removed, the rest of the repair went well. Took photo's of all the wiring connections to ensure I put it back together correctly. All burners are back to functioning as designed - simmer works on the 2 left side burners. Used anti seize lubricant to re-install the new venturi.
