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.

Jay C Waltham , MA April 15, 2023 Appliance: Model THERMADOR RDSS30RS/01 Had to have my control board out for repairs. In order for me to remove the control board all the burner venturi had to be removed, was able to get all but one. The right front was completely sized with the jet holder, I try soaking it in WD40 but was not moving, but it did move did not realize that I had seared the gas tubing in the process. Had to cut off the venturi, which destroyed the venturi and the burner base. I found AppliancePartsPros.com after googling for Thermador repair parts, was able to identify my parts very quickly, and placed my order, all were showing in stock. But a day later received notification that one of my parts was on BO. That was the only drawback on my order, other than that received my parts quickly. I now have a 20-year range in working order once again. It's great to know that there are outfits like AppliancePartsPros.com who can save you from buying a new range, thank you. Jay C Read More...
