Top-selling Thermador gas range replacement parts

• Oven door light switch. The oven door light switch is a plunger switch on the frame of the oven above the opening to the oven. The oven door pushes the oven light switch plunger in when the door is closed to turn the light off. When the door is open, the plunger is released and the light is on.
• Outer oven door glass panel. The outer oven door glass panel is the heat-resistant piece of glass that forms the outer part of the oven door.
• Oven door hinge. The hinges on an oven door control the rate at which the door opens and also allow the door to stay open at an angle. Hinges are usually installed in pairs so the hinges and tension springs match, ensuring the smooth operation of the door.
• Oven door lock assembly. The oven door lock assembly is a safety mechanism that prevents accidental burns and oven fires by latching the door shut during self-cleaning. The door unlocks when the oven cools to a safe temperature (usually less than 200 degrees F). It's also used on ovens with the child lock-out feature. The assembly includes the lock and switches that detect whether the door is locked.
• Spark igniter electrode. The spark igniter electrode provides an ignition spark to light a surface gas burner. It's an insulated electrode that sends a spark to the burner head when the spark module provides voltage. It sparks with a ticking sound when you turn the burner switch on a control knob to the Lite position.

Troubleshooting your Thermador gas range when the oven won't heat

• Check the gas supply. If surface burners aren't working, check your gas supply cut-off valve to make sure it's open.
• Test the igniter. Pull the bottom oven panel out and start the oven. If the igniter glows but doesn't light the burner, it may not be getting hot enough to open the safety gas valve. You'll likely need to replace the igniter.
• If the igniter doesn't glow, measure resistance through the igniter using a multimeter. Replace the igniter if the meter measures infinite resistance.
• Test the safety gas valve. Measure resistance through the safety gas valve using the multimeter. The meter should measure less than 5 ohms of resistance through the gas valve. If the meter measure infinite resistance, you'll need to have a service technician replace the safety gas valve.
