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.

Lonnie R Charleston , SC September 28, 2016 Appliance: Thermador PRG304US Burners not working igniters clicking excessively The stove is old and needed numerous repairs. The burners needed new piping, jet holders and solenoids. Appliance pros had a very good diagram of the parts I needed. The only part that Appliance pros did not have was the potentiometer which I purchased from Amazon. I ordered extra parts just in case I needed them. The returns process was simple and easy. Could not have completed the job without Appliance pros diagram and parts selection. Read More...

Robert S Holland , MI November 20, 2023 Appliance: Thermador Electric/Gas Range PRSE484GGS Burner not working on thermador prse484ggs range Tried to remove the grease tray under the burners to check gas solenoids but the orifice nuts were solidly corroded. I sprayed PB blaster and let sit for 2 days. Then tried to remove nuts with a socket wrench. Felt like they were turning but in reality the entire jet holder was turning and snapping off the gas tubing at the jet holder. Next used a dremel grinder to remove nut heads and then removed the grease trays. Solenoids were good so it's the 00189816 potentiometer. I needed new gas tubes to replace the damaged ones. I found one of the correct lines and ordered it and a longer one. The short one fit perfectly and I reshaped the longer one to work for the second burner. Unfortunately, the part was not available. The next step is to remove the front trim panel and try to repair the part. Thank you for having the tubing at a good value and fast shipping! Read More...
