Thermador clicking that will not stop
Ignition
The star burner has more ports than a conventional cap, so moisture sits in the geometry after a spill. Drying it out resolves a good share of these.

Thermador zone will not come on
Surface
On the induction line the board under the glass is the fault; on the gas line it is the ExtraLow control. Same symptom, two different repairs.

Glass
Replaceable as a part. Whether it is worth it depends on the unit, and you get the number before you decide.

Thermador burner will not light
Ignition
Clicking means the spark is being made, so it is the electrode, a blocked port or a valve not opening.

Calibration
Board-driven throughout, so the calibration offset is adjustable in software before anything is replaced.

Thermador induction dropping out mid-cook
Thermal
Heat protection doing its job. The power board is cooled by a fan and the fan is usually blocked, not the coil.

Latch
The lock motor or the thermal switch that reports the cavity has cooled. Do not force it — the latch costs less than the door.

Thermador not heating at all
Heat
A bake element, a thermal fuse tripped during a clean cycle, or the relay on the board.

Thermador lower cavity dead on a double oven
Shared control
Two cavities on one board, so a dead lower oven is often a relay rather than a second oven's worth of parts.

Sealed system
Freedom columns carry heavy panels, and a door sitting a few millimetres proud of the frame costs more degrees than people expect.

Defrost circuit
The defrost heater, timer or bimetal rather than the compressor. A fraction of the cost, and the symptom people most often misread.

Thermador water pooling under the crisper
Drain
A blocked defrost drain backing up into the cabinet. Clearing it is usually the whole repair.
