Understanding Thermador model numbers
Every Thermador model number is a coded description of the appliance — encoding the product type, size, configuration, series, and finish in a compact alphanumeric string. Understanding this system helps you identify the exact replacement parts, compatible accessories, and service procedures for your specific unit.
How to read a Thermador model number
Thermador model numbers follow consistent patterns by appliance category:
- Ranges: PRD = Professional Dual Fuel, PRG = Professional Gas, PRL = Pro Harmony. Number = width (30, 36, 48, 60). Example: PRD486WDGU = Professional 48″ Dual Fuel with Griddle
- Refrigerators: T = Thermador, number = width, IR = Integrated Refrigerator, IF = Integrated Freezer. Example: T36IR905SP = 36″ Refrigerator Column, Panel-Ready
- Dishwashers: DWHD = Dishwasher HD Series. 7xx = Star Sapphire, 6xx = Emerald, 5xx = Sapphire. Example: DWHD770WFP = Star Sapphire Panel-Ready
- Wall ovens: POD = Professional Oven Double, MED = Masterpiece Double. Example: POD302W = Professional 30″ Double Wall Oven
- Cooktops: CIT = Induction, SGS = Gas Star Burner, CET = Electric. Example: CIT367YGS = Freedom 36″ Induction
- Vent hoods: HMWB = Masterpiece Wall, HPCB = Professional Chimney. Example: HPCB36NS = Professional 36″ Wall Hood
Where to find your model number
The model number plate location varies by appliance type:
- Dishwasher: Inside the door frame (visible when door is open)
- Refrigerator: Inside the compartment on the sidewall
- Range: Behind the storage drawer or on the oven door frame
- Wall oven: Inside the door frame
- Cooktop: Underside of the unit (may require lifting)
- Wine cooler: Inside the compartment on the sidewall
- Vent hood: Inside the hood housing or on the side
Always provide both the model number AND serial number when scheduling service — the serial number identifies your specific unit for parts compatibility and warranty status.
