Thermador Range PRDS486GL Parts

This bake element heats the small oven cavity from below during Bake, delivering the radiant heat needed for preheating and consistent baking when the original element fails.

• Provides primary bake heat at the bottom of the small oven cavity
• Works with the oven control to preheat and maintain set temperature
• Common failure symptoms: no or weak bake heat, uneven baking, visible blistering/cracks, or a breaker trip when Bake is selected

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access is typically from inside the cavity; remove mounting screws, pull the element forward, and move wires one at a time
• Support wires so they don't retract into the insulation; avoid bending or stressing the new element
• Restore power and run a bake cycle to verify proper heating

Main broil heating element for the oven, designed to restore top-heat for broiling and browning. Replaces a failed broil element so the oven can produce even, high-intensity heat during broil cycles. What it does:

• Generates the high, direct heat at the top of the oven used for broiling and browning.
• Restores proper broil performance when the element no longer heats or glows.
• Fixes symptoms such as no broil heat, uneven browning, visible burn marks, or a broken/warped element.
• Works as the primary upper heating element used in broil cycles (main oven).

• Disconnect power to the range/oven at the breaker before starting any work.
• Remove oven racks and access the element from inside the oven; element typically secures with mounting screws and terminal connectors.
• Handle terminals and sharp metal edges carefully; wear gloves and eye protection.

Gas supply tube connects gas line to range burners. Replace if cracked, kinked, damaged, or leaking. Installs between supply valve and burner assembly.

This LP main jet regulates propane flow to a surface burner to maintain a clean, stable flame. Replace a clogged or incorrect jet to restore proper burner performance, especially when converting a cooktop or range from natural gas to LP.

• Meters LP gas to the burner head for correct flame size and combustion
• Direct replacement for a damaged, clogged, or incorrect jet during service or LP conversion
• May help with yellow/sooty flames, weak or overly high flames, uneven heating, or delayed ignition

• Shut off gas and power; allow the appliance to cool completely
• Remove grates, caps, and burner head to access the orifice holder
• Start the jet by hand, then tighten gently with the correct tool—do not overtighten
• After installation or any LP conversion, leak-test connections and verify a steady blue flame; other jets and the regulator may also require LP settings per the model's instructions

1/4" gas supply tubing connects your range's gas line to the valve. Replace when damaged, cracked, leaking, or during valve service for safe operation.

This catalyzer element helps neutralize smoke and odors generated during cooking by breaking down airborne particles as they pass through the microwave's ventilation system. It is typically located near the exhaust area of the unit. Replace this part if you notice persistent smoke odors, reduced ventilation effectiveness, or visible deterioration of the catalyzer material.

Holds and secures lava rocks on gas range burner assemblies for even heat distribution. Replaces cracked, broken, or missing basket. Installs above burner.

Grease catch tray installs under the grill or broiler area to collect drippings and overflow. Replace if cracked, warped, rusted, or missing.

This is the front-facing control panel facia that covers the area where the knobs and controls are located on the range. It provides the finished exterior surface and houses or supports the control interface components. Replace this panel if it is cracked, discolored, heat-damaged, or if the labeling has worn off, making it difficult to read settings.

This is a solid surface hotplate heating element used on certain cooktops and ranges. It provides a flat, sealed cooking surface that heats up for stovetop cooking. Replace this element if it no longer heats, heats unevenly, or shows visible cracks or damage on the cooking surface.

Heat shield barrier installs between burners and internal components to protect from high temperatures. Replace if cracked, warped, or damaged.

Saddle clamp secures gas lines and wiring on cooktops and ranges. Replace if cracked, loose, or missing to prevent rattling and ensure safe operation.
