Dave October 09, 2016 for Model Number thermidor downdraft cvs36rb My downdraft comes up then goes right back down. It will not stay in the up position, unless you hit the switch again. Could that be the switch or is there a sensor inside?
Jerry September 25, 2016 for Model Number 189968 My switch is physically broken---the push button. I am trying to remove it so I can buy a new one from you. It looks like the wires are just push in connections but I am pulling pretty hard on each of the wires and can not get them to come apart. Are they crimped in? It does not look like it.
1 Answer Jerry, If you can get a pair of needle nose pliers on the terminals and kind of rotate the pliers to add force to the connector to get it off is the best way to get them loose. Read More...
Lupe G. May 07, 2016 My Thermador down draft will not go down. It is stuck in the up position. I noticed that there was a electrical spark when tried to press the button to go down. Since then the button does not work. The fan works fine when used but it still does not go down.
1 Answer Hello Lupe, This can be one of several possibilities. You could have a failed winding in the motor, an issue with the harness, a bad relay on the board, or one of the switches could have an issue. This would require a model number from the units' I.D. tag for any further diagnosis. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Gabriel January 04, 2016 for Model Number CVS45RS The unit will not stop in the up position... it travels up and down and does not stop. I have replaced the up/down switch in the past. Now the blower will not turn on - I replaced the blower switch and it still will not come on... suggestions???
1 Answer Gabriel, With the unit not stopping up or down, this would most likely be a directional switch that has failed or wiring that is bad. Read More...
Gabriel December 30, 2015 for Model Number Thermadore CVS45RS My downdraft vent exhaust motor will not turn on. The unit will travel up and down into position. I replaced the 3 position fan switch but it still will not turn on. Any suggestions? Is there a motor reset button?
1 Answer Gabriel, With the unit not turning on you will want to check for poor motor terminal connections. Could be a bad speed control, check to make sure that there is power to the unit. Check to make sure that the vent switch is not open. Bad blower winding or bad capacitor. 1. Check the blower motor connections and reseat if necessary. 2. Check for power into and out of the speed control, if there is no power out then replace the speed control. 3. check the breaker. 4. Vent switch should show continuity between the terminals C and N.O. when in up position. replace the switch if checks show contacts are open. 5. check winding for continuity and replace blower if showing open. 6 check capacitor with ohmmeter and replace if open or shorted.

Jfs June 24, 2015 for Model Number Thermador RDDS30VQB S/N 98080131 The button on the down vent panel on top of this dual-fuel stove/oven is frozen in the down position. The "down-draft" panel w/ filters is currently in the down position & will not rise. Prior to this problem everything worked well. Is it possibly a frozen switch? With the unit "stuck" in the down position, how do I raise the panel in order to gain access to the switch assembly? My local Thermador dealer said the switch part# = 414538. Is this the same as the Bosch # 2825671 ? Thank you for your help !
1 Answer Hello JFS. You will access the switch under the unit and sometimes these have to be manually raise when the cover is removed. When you remove the cover under the unit, you should be able to see if you will need to raise the vent manually. Some of these can be replaced without raising the vent. 00414538 is the part number you provided. 2825671 is not a good part number. Read More...
Tony P. January 12, 2015 for Model Number CVS36RB I have a Thermador electric cook top with three fan speeds. Recently, the fan will turn on but remains at low speed even when turning the knob to the #2 or #3 fan speed setting. Could this be a faulty switch or maybe another issue? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Tony, This can be the switch or the fan motor. The switch is the more likely cause. Read More...
Rob1337 December 31, 2014 for Model Number CVS36RS Is there a substitute or equivalent switch for this? Seeking a compatible SPDT momentary. I can join/solder with the old leads. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Rob1337, I'm sorry but we can only recommend the parts the manufacturer says is for the model in question. Read More...
Rob1337 December 08, 2014 for Model Number CVS36RS Can you provide some tech info on the up/down switch? Single-pole double-throw? like the gear motor switch? Are 1&2 (NC) connected then 1&3 when you press?
1 Answer Rob, The black will be your common, if there are numbers next to the white wires, number 2 would be normally closed and number 3 would be normally open. So between the black and number 2 there should be continuity when not in use and when you push on the switch then black to 3 will be closed and black to 2 will be open. The wires that go to the gear motor are the 2 white which 2 would go to NC and 3 to NO. Read More...
Philip January 03, 2014 for Model Number CVS30RW When I press the button to raise or lower the power vent nothing happens. It is stuck in the up position. When I switch the fan control speed, the fan works fine. Is it a faulty switch?
1 Answer Phillip, This issue could be caused by a bad up/down switch, a bad gear motor switch or a possible bad gear motor. You will want to test the gear motor to see if it is getting power to it. If the motor is not getting power then check the gear switch to make sure that it is good. If faulty then replace. Read More...
