Thermador gas cooktop - deep questions - Appliance Repair ForumI took apart one of the first 2 burners mentioned above. Igniter was not cracked, but was really dirty. I cleaned the igniter and the wire to the igniter. The igniter clip is rusted and the rubber washer under the igniter was gone. I buffed up the underside of the burner cap. Reassembled the burner but the failure mode continues. Question #1: Using this single-wire igniter path, the spark module somehow knows that there is no flame (when the gas valve is enabled). How does it detect flame? Somewhere in the cooktop, some logic is being used to detect that there is gas but no flame, but it's confusing "burner just turned on" vs. "burner was on and lost the flame". Question #2: Since we plan to keep the cooktop for a few more years, if I was going to do a refurb on the cooktop, what pieces should I replace to make the cooktop seem 'as new'? I'm thinking: Igniters, igniter clips and rubber washers. Is that enough? Is the spark module failing or just not getting proper signals from the igniters?

Vintage Thermador built-in ovens and cooktopsINTAGE THERMADOR built-in ovens and stove tops are really beautiful and leading-edge collectible. I see them at the Re-Store occasionally (such as the cooktop above), and am *so tempted* to add them to my collection of cool stuff, now stuffed into my attic. Over at the Eichler Network, Adam Martin wrote an interesting article in 2006 about Thermadors in Eichlers. The occasion was the 50th anniversary of a famous Thermador built-in wall oven, the WO-16A. It was top-of-the-line with straight from WWII aircraft – notice all the cockpit dials. The history indicates that Thermador was first to innovate wall ovens separate from rangetops, in 1947. In ‘52, they gave us a cooktop with a griddle. From my immersion into midcentury marketing materials, I am going to guess that by the mid-50s, half of America was still choosing the stand-alone oven/range combo. The other half: Separate cooktop and built-in oven. I am guessing the latter was more expensive – but more “modern” not only because the technology was newer but also it allowed you to have an uninterrupted run of base cabinets – also a very cool and modern thing. Thermador also seem to have stuck close to their brushed stainless steel finish. So, if you are looking to go retro, but want stainless steel rather than white or a color – these vintage ovens and rangetops are worth watching for. The picture of the wall oven above is the exact model we have in our 1956 ranch. Although the heating function works perfectly (if a tad slow to warm up) the clock and timer are no longer functional. But we love it in spite of its flaws and feel very lucky to have it! [If you want to see it in place, read Pam's entry from March 6, 2009 under Reader Homes in the Expanding Categories (second page.)] We don’t live in an Eichler but we do have a wonderful vintage Thermador cooktop with griddle (as well as a Nutone food center and a wall mounted pull-out toaster by Swanson). Sadly, the double oven had already been taken out when we bought the house. We have located a Thermador double oven in Kansas City that the owners (my sister-in-law and her husband) don’t want. So, when they get around to taking it out, we will be flying to Kansas City, renting a van, and driving back to Las Vegas with the oven. Can’t wait! ...
1955-ish Thermador 4 burner elec. cooktop - ApplianceBlog.com ...It is a 45” wide by 18” deep 4 burner unit with one large 8” burner on the right hand side and two 6” (appx.) burners in the middle, and another 6” burner on the left side with a very strange looking deep well unit attached beneath the left hand unit. This deep well allows the unit to be pushed downward, though I cannot figure out removal at this juncture. Source: 1955-ish Thermador 4 burner elec. cooktop - ApplianceBlog.com ... |
