They charged me for a visit even though nothing was repaired and my oven had no actual problem. A lot of the appointment time was wasted due to the technician struggling with company systems and technical issues, yet I was still billed for it. The dishwasher issue was barely addressed, but extra charges kept appearing. I was told there would not be additional fees, then received another bill afterward. Overall, the experience felt more focused on billing than customer service.

Absolutely terrible. A 5 year old refrigerator has a bad evaporator which costs $180 but Thermador stopped making it and told me I had to buy a new $10,000 refrigerator. Stay away from this brand.

Absolutely incompetent customer service and warranty support. I bought an entire Thermador kitchen for a new house build - the hood had a bad motherboard out of the box. It's been almost a year and we still don't have it fixed. Three times they have scheduled an appointment to install the new board and did not show up and did not call. They didn't actually have the part and just didn't bother to communicate. They set a 4 hour arrival window and claim the technician will call to give a tighter window either the night before or morning of the visit. The technician has never called and I had my builder builder waiting each time.
I have Wolf and Subzero in my other house and it is vastly superior in design, performance and service. I would never buy Thermador again. There are several oddities in the appliances like the speed oven won't display time, you have to start it with at least 4 selections before the microwave works, compressor is on the bottom of the 48-inch refrigerator so the top shelves are nearly out of reach for a 6ft man. Thermador is not high quality and they are incompetent and have no regard for their customer. Terrible experience.

Extremely disgusted with the customer service experience. I wish I knew this before we bought an entire range of Thermador appliances.

We purchased a Thermador built-in refrigerator (Model: T36BT925NS/25) expecting premium performance and support consistent with the brand’s reputation. Within approximately two years, the internal lighting system failed completely—something that should not happen in a high-end appliance at this price point. The real issue, however, is Thermador’s handling of the situation. Despite purchasing an extended warranty specifically to avoid out-of-pocket repairs, we spent over two weeks being passed back and forth between Thermador and the warranty provider. Each side deferred responsibility, and we were ultimately told the repair falls into a “gap” between the manufacturer warranty and the extended warranty.
This is not a customer misunderstanding—it is a structural failure in Thermador’s warranty ecosystem. Customers are sold “peace of mind,” but when a real issue occurs, the system allows both the manufacturer and the warranty provider to avoid coverage. For a premium brand under BSH Home Appliances, this is unacceptable. A lighting failure this early raises concerns about build quality, but the complete lack of accountability is far more concerning. At this price level, customers should not be navigating loopholes between corporate entities just to get a basic repair addressed.
Bottom line: You can pay for a premium Thermador appliance and an extended warranty—and still be left paying out of pocket due to how their coverage is structured. I strongly caution prospective buyers: do not assume that extended warranty coverage with Thermador will actually protect you. Based on this experience, it clearly does not. Thermador needs to take responsibility for how its warranty partnerships function in practice—not just how they are marketed.

Purchased two wine beverage refrigerators for the bar, a 30" column freezer, 30" column refrigerator, wall oven, wall built-in MWO, gas (propane) six-burner cooktop and dishwasher. HATE the MWO!! It takes multiple clicks just to heat something for 30 seconds. You have to turn it on.. listen to music chimes, press multiple selections to just get 30 seconds. Then it starts chiming and chimes continually until you open the door.
Lastly the first wine/bev under counter bar refrigerator the door wouldn't close/seal properly so had to get a new door. Now one of the two refrigerators completely died... no power. Had to remove all the wine and place into our refrigerator in a drawer and on the lower shelf. It's been two weeks and today we'll see what they say. From the reviews I've read I have very low expectations of service from Thermador. Missing my GE Monogram big time!!!! Even worse is the gas cooktop. There is no low/simmer setting. The smaller burners, the flames go up the sides of small sauce pans??? I cannot simmer sauce (my husband is Italian and we make a lot of sauce) and forget simmering rice. On the very lowest setting rice burns.

We just received and installed our Thermador appliance package which includes 42CD refrigerator, build-in 30" micro, 30" oven. 36" cooktop and 24" DW. Pros: The built-ins were correctly spec and fit perfect. The DW is quiet and seems to clean well, the cooktop functions as advertised and works well. Cons: The Ref makes a magnetic vibration sound every minute or so and the (small ice) compartment overfills and ice get stuck behind the drawer. You can take the drawer out however you will need to use a screw driver to do it. The Oven immediately had issues with the internal connection which required a service call, then immediately after it started functioning we used the self-clean option to burn out excess oils and agents. This became a issue 2 hours into the cleaning with a shutdown and an error code displayed.
The store said we should not have used the self-clean option as it overheated and fried the cooling fan circuit.?? Waiting for the fan part and repair. The Microwave likes to announce its use. When you start it jingles and when select a setting it jingles and when it's done it will jingle until you shut it off. Overall, we couldn't be more disappointed with the quality and should have dug deeper into the reviews to make a better decision.

I purchased a Thermador package, including all the high end luxury appliance including, refrigerator, oven, oven vent fan and microwave when we remodeled our kitchen 4 years ago. The refrigerator's light in the freezer section burned out after 2 1/2 years and I was told it was out of warranty. We had replaced our Samsung refrigerator, which we now have in our garage and it is 12 years old and nothing has ever broken on it. The cost for someone to come out was $400 plus the part, ridiculous. Half of our stove stopped working and I was told it needs 2 boards, which amounts to around $1000. Very poor customer service and for appliances that cost so much, I am not very impressed with the product. I will never buy another Thermador product, very disappointed with the product and with their customer service.

Thermador customer service and management are worse anything I have ever seen. They do not back up their warranty and very slow in responding. I bought 4 major appliances from them, problems with these people got so bad and did not know how to rectify the issues that they had had to buy back all 4 appliances and opted another brand. Thanks god! Save yourself lots of headaches and never ever consider this brand at all.

We purchased our Thermador appliance package in 2022 for our new construction home. Our appliances are a bit over 3 years old now. Our dishwasher quit cleaning properly, the dishwasher pods no longer dissolve. We have currently spent over $400 in service fees and parts and it has not fixed the issue. We are trying to decide if it’s worth continuing to add more parts and labor or just throwing away the dishwasher and getting a different brand (it’s not covered by a warranty after 2 years). Now our oven has quit working too! Again, no coverage for service. I cannot say enough that this is a bad product and after dealing with poor customer service I would never buy another Thermador product again. When you spend this much for a product it should function well for 10 years or more. I am very disappointed.

I purchased a Thermador package, including all the high end luxury appliance including, refrigerator, oven, oven vent fan and microwave when we remodeled our kitchen last January 2025. I have had nothing but problems with everything. They do not replace it. They just sent maintenance out. They have probably had maintenance to my house 12 times now. The icemaker has broken twice now on my counter depth refrigerator.
The vents on the oven range are supposed to come off very easily to clean for maintenance to prevent fire. I have anxiety every time trying to get them in and out because the motor hangs too low to where you cannot get them back in after cleaning. My oven has had multiple repairs because it does not heat up to the proper temperature so it makes it very hard to bake anything. Instead of just replacing it. They have sent out repair service services to replace to tons of parts on it multiple occasions.
I will never buy any thermador appliances again. I definitely will not recommend them to anybody. The microwave does work, but it makes the loudest alarm that sounds like an alarm clock when your food is finished so you literally have to run over to open it or it will drive you crazy. I’m so sad that I have had to deal with this after having such old appliances for long, And investing in what I thought was going to be amazing. I wish I would have gone with the wolf brand.

Bad quality, and bad service too, our oven did not work, it takes 3 months to get it fixed, and then after one month it did not work again, take another one month to get an appointment for service, and I am not sure how long it can be fixed, maybe another 3 months, can you image live without an oven for almost half a year?

This is a review of the Model PRG366WH/02 6 burner stove/oven. This oven comes with a computer module. I have had the oven for 6 years and the computer modules have burned out twice. Do not buy an oven with a computer screen, or a computer module. I have spent $2300 replacing the screen twice and the computer module once. Unless you absolutely need the internet connected stove, skip the computerized version. Get yourself a simple gas stove with manual valves/knobs and no computer module.

High price that doesn’t deliver. Cost for manufacturing repair is outrageously expensive. We paid thousands of dollars for a refrigerator that only lasted 10 years.

Don't buy a 36" pro hood insert. The control panel is invisible unless you use a flashlight to see it. Also the lights are not bright enough to illuminate the back burners not the back wall under the hood. And Thermador could care less. This is a simple fix with brighter LED bulbs and a backlit control panel. Thermador responds to this with generic form letters. Zero customer service!

This is the first review I have ever written about any product or service. I felt compelled to do so in order to save others from making such an expensive mistake. Simply put, don't purchase Thermador appliances! I thought I was buying high-end appliances but they are substandard at best. The microwave and oven windows have become cloudy. Moisture has seeped through the double glass windows and they cannot be cleaned. I've own many microwaves and ovens from cheaper brands and this never happened. The down-draft itself had to be replaced 4 times while under warranty because of manufacturing defects.
The replacement charcoal filter for the downdraft is supper expensive ($99 U.S.) and they recommend you change it every six months. The dishwasher is terrible. The controls are poor and you never know when it will start the cleaning cycle. Lastly, they provide poor customer support. Don't waste your money on Thermador appliances. They don't care about the quality of their product or their customers. Stay away!

Purchased a 25K suite of Thermador appliances through Home Depot Design Center in 2021. In the first year, the double wall steam oven had to be replaced (it would randomly shut down). Thankfully it was under warranty and they did replace it after 5 service calls not being able to fix it. Now, the microwave drawer is out. Wont heat. I'm told it needs a new magnetron which is a $900 repair. We're out of warranty but I'm told this is a part that should last much longer esp considering this is a $2,400 appliance that’s only 5 years old. Needless to say, I don’t recommend this brand unless you are willing to shell out lots of $ on extended warranties.

I have purchased a Thermador induction stove range, dishwasher, 2 refrigerator drawers, a full size refrigerator, a microwave and a wine cooler and every single appliance is designed poorly. There is no attention paid to the lighting element and its design. There is no way to see if the item is visibly on or off and everything about. I cannot believe I trusted this brand. I have had it less than 6 months and feel ready to change it but it was so expensive. The design is SUBSTANDARD. I highly DON’T recommend this appliance brand.

This is a review of the Thermador t48bt110ns/10 side-by-side refrigerator/freezer: Do not buy this appliance. I purchased this refrigerator brand new in November 2025. The icemaker did not work when it was installed. I told the store and thermador immediately. Thermador sent their technician to my house but the tech was unable to fix the problem. He came 4 different times over the next 6 weeks, and replaced 3 different parts to try to fix the icemaker. But it is still broken. The freezer will not produce ice. It's now late January 2026 but thermador has not approved replacing their brand new product. So I have a new fridge/freezer that won't make ice. Please do not buy this fridge. Buy a different brand. The hassle with the manufacturer is not worth the money.

I would never buy another Thermador. We bought a range and vent/hood. The lighting module went out on the hood. After 8 months of looking for the part or a replacement we discover it is no longer available. I contacted Thermador for help, no reply. Now we have to buy a new hood and believe me it will not be a Thermador. I know regarding the range this was our fault for not looking in more detail but I wasn't until we installed the stove, months later, that there is no self-cleaning oven. We just assumed and by that time it was too late to replace it. Again I would never buy a Thermador again.
