Across the Allegheny from Downtown, the North Side has some of the oldest housing stock in the city. In the Mexican War Streets and Allegheny West a kitchen may sit in a house built in the 1800s, and the basement where the laundry lives was dug long before anyone imagined a washing machine. Further up the hills, Perry, Observatory Hill and Brighton Heights are newer and roomier, but still mostly older detached houses with basements.
Two things worth knowing about Thermador before we arrive: Thermador is a sister brand to Bosch and Gaggenau under BSH, but its pro ranges use burner and oven parts found only on Thermador; and Thermador's star-shaped burners carry flame along more edge than round ones do, so a patchy flame almost always means blocked ports or an igniter fault.
Call or book online and we'll set up a time that works for you.
Thermador: platform and parts
Thermador belongs to the BSH family of brands, which share engineering and a lot of components. That helps on jobs around the North Side: parts are easier to track down, and the ways these machines tend to fail are well understood.
Send us the model number with your booking. Look for a sticker inside the door or lid, along the frame, behind the bottom kick plate or on the rear panel; with it we can look up that platform's known weak points and carry those parts instead of ordering after the first visit.
Servicing built-in Thermador equipment
Most Thermador equipment is built into cabinets or fastened down, so around the North Side the first thing we settle is how to get at it. We plan the removal before the day, book a longer slot, and protect the floor, the cabinet fronts and the counters before anything moves.
Pulling out a built-in Thermador also means paying for cabinet or countertop work, so a fault that would send a freestanding unit to the curb is usually just a repair here.
Where Thermador appliances sit on the North Side
Basement washers draining into laundry tubs or floor drains, gas dryers venting through old foundation walls, ranges and dryers on gas piping that has been added to over many decades, refrigerators in narrow kitchens with no room to breathe, and appliances in rental units split out of large old houses.
No matter the brand, a Thermador appliance on the North Side is only as good as the drain, circuit, vent and water line it's hooked to, and here the washer and dryer are usually in the basement, reached by stairs that are often steep and narrow in the older rowhouses.
Power outages and food
After a long outage, give the refrigerator several hours to pull back down to temperature before deciding it has failed. Throw out the first batches of ice, and check that the ice maker restarted.
If a unit is still warm the next day, or a washer, dishwasher or range shows a blank display, call us with the model number. Surge damage to a board or power supply is common and often repairable.
Stacked and compact laundry
On the North Side's apartments and converted buildings, laundry often means a stacked set or a pair of 24-inch machines in a closet. They do the job, but they're less forgiving: a kinked drain hose, a flattened vent or a closet door that chokes off the dryer's air quickly turns into long cycles and codes.
Separating a stacked pair and fitting it back into a narrow closet without damage is part of what we do. When you book, tell us how wide the closet is and whether it's two machines on a stacking kit or a single laundry center.

Thermador in The North Side: Questions We Hear
Quick answers to what people ask most. If yours isn't here, bring it up on the phone or type it into the notes box when you book.
Something else on your mind?
Reach out with the brand, the symptom and a model number if you have one. Some questions we can answer on the spot; the rest a technician can check in person.
Yes, while it's under the manufacturer's warranty. Warranty repairs are normally handled by the maker's own service network, and we're an independent company, not an authorized service center. Once the warranty has run out, or the problem isn't covered, we're glad to take the job on the North Side.
Usually. When you book a the North Side visit, list every appliance that's giving trouble, with model numbers if you have them, so we set aside enough time and bring the likely parts.
Not at all. Most repairs are done where the machine stands, and around the North Side laundry is usually in the basement, reached by stairs that are often steep and narrow in the older rowhouses. If the stairs are very narrow or steep, tell us when you book so we can plan for anything that might need to come out.
Our first choice is the Thermador part that matches your model number. If that part has been discontinued, an equivalent may exist, and we'll tell you it's an equivalent before it goes in. Thermador shares a parts bin with the other BSH brands, so compatible parts are usually easy to get, even for older units.
In most cases, repair. Thermador designs its appliances to last longer than economy lines and keeps parts available for longer, so a single failed part in a unit that's ten years old usually leaves plenty of good machine behind, especially when it's built into your cabinets.
