What a Thermador dishwasher is like to work on
Thermador sits inside the BSH group alongside Bosch, and the dishwashers share a good deal of design language. That makes parts and diagnosis more straightforward than the badge suggests — a technician who knows the Bosch platform has a head start here, and the supply chain is the same one.
Model lines we service
What we open one for
Will not drain or leaves standing water
The drain pump, the filter in the tub floor, or the drain hose loop in a retrofitted kitchen.
Machine stops and reports water in the base
The leak float has cut it off — the same protection Bosch uses. It says water escaped, not where from, and finding it is the repair.
Not cleaning properly
The filter first, then the wash motor. Hard water in north county shortens the descaling interval noticeably.
Parts and what they cost
Very good, on the shared BSH catalogue. Drain pumps, filters and latches are stocked and sensibly priced.
Most dishwasher jobs land between $150 and $300, parts included, and the $150 minimum service call is part of that rather than on top of it.
When to call Thermador instead of us
A lot of Thermador in this county went into homes built in the last few years, so check the manufacturer warranty before booking anyone — including us. If it is still live, Thermador should be covering the repair.
Answered
- Is a Thermador dishwasher the same as a Bosch?
- Related, not identical. They share a parent and a good deal of engineering, which helps with parts and diagnosis. The cooking products are a different story — the star burner has no Bosch equivalent.
