Thermador standard warranty coverage
All Thermador appliances come with a manufacturer warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage periods vary by product category and component — major components like compressors and sealed refrigeration systems typically have longer coverage than electrical parts. Check your specific model’s warranty documentation for exact terms.
What’s typically covered
Manufacturing defects, component failures under normal use, and electrical/mechanical issues that arise from standard operation. Genuine OEM replacement parts and authorized labor to install them. Warranty service must be performed by a Thermador-authorized service provider to maintain coverage.
What’s NOT covered
Cosmetic damage (dents, scratches after delivery). Installation problems (incorrect wiring, gas connection, leveling). Normal wear items (gaskets, filters, light bulbs, knobs). Damage from power surges (use a surge protector). Damage from using non-OEM parts. Service calls where no defect is found. Issues caused by water quality (limescale, mineral damage).
Extended protection
Thermador and authorized dealers offer extended warranty programs that can extend coverage beyond the standard period. Consider extended protection for Freedom Column refrigeration (dual-compressor systems) and Pro Grand ranges (complex multi-system design) where repair costs can be significant.
Maintaining warranty validity
Use your appliances according to the manual. Don’t modify or repair with non-OEM parts. Keep your proof of purchase and installation records. Register your appliances with Thermador after installation. Have warranty service performed only by authorized providers — unauthorized repairs void the remaining warranty.
After warranty expires
Our certified Thermador repair technicians use the same genuine OEM parts and follow the same procedures as warranty service — the only difference is the cost. Schedule service anytime, warranty or not. We provide a 30-day labor warranty on all repairs.
