The filters rattled at high speed and the noise carried through the house. He rebalanced the blower wheel and replaced two clips that had lost their grip. Quieter than it was, not silent, which he was straight about beforehand.
What a visit costs
Pricing
One number to get someone to the house, and a written figure before anything is spent after that.
$80
Flat $80 diagnostic, credited in full toward the repair when you approve the work.
The diagnostic buys a diagnosis: the fault identified at the component, not the symptom repeated back to you. On a built-in that usually means pulling the appliance far enough to see the back of it, which is most of the labor in any case.
Written estimate before any part is ordered or any labor is billed. The estimate names the part, the labor and the total. If you decline it, the diagnostic stands on its own and there is nothing further to pay — and we will tell you what the appliance can and cannot be asked to do in the meantime.
Before anything is ordered
What does a Thermador repair cost once the part is known?
$80 Flat $80 diagnostic covering the visit and the full diagnostic sequence, credited toward the repair once you approve the work.
| What was replaced | Parts and labor |
|---|---|
| Igniter, spark module or surface element | $190–$550 |
| Oven thermostat or temperature sensor | $170–$560 |
| Bake or broil element | $190–$590 |
| Convection fan or motor | $260–$730 |
| Control board or touch panel | $400–$1,060 |
| Door hinge, glass or seal | $180–$640 |
| Refrigeration column sealed system | $860–$2,480 |
Ranges, not quotations: the figure that counts is written down after the diagnosis, and nothing is priced from a description over the telephone. The band that applies depends on which component failed, which is what the diagnostic is for.
When is it worth replacing instead?
| Bought new instead | Appliance only |
|---|---|
| Wall oven, the usual repair-or-replace comparison | $4,200–$9,500 |
| Professional rangetop or range | $5,500–$14,500 |
A comparable Thermador wall oven, rangetop or column, appliance only — before delivery, installation or cabinetry. National appliance pricing, not Florida labour.
Held against the table above, a repair at the top of its band is still a long way short of $4,200, and the cabinetry stays as it is. Where it genuinely is not worth doing, we say so at the diagnostic rather than after the part has been ordered.

What we will not do
We do not quote a repair over the phone. The same symptom on a built-in can be one cheap sensor or a sealed-system job, and the only honest way to tell them apart is to look. We will say on the phone which of those two ranges we expect, and we will say when the answer is likely to be "replace it". That judgement is worked through in full on the repair-or-replace page, against this same table.
We do not work on any make other than Thermador. If the appliance is another brand, that gets said on the phone rather than after a diagnostic has been charged.
Asked before we come out
- What does a Thermador repair cost in Ponte Vedra Beach?
- The visit is a flat $80 diagnostic, credited in full against the repair once you approve it. A completed repair falls inside the table on this page: $190–$550 where the fault is igniter, spark module or surface element, and $2,480 at the heavy end of what is shown. The firm figure is written down after the diagnosis, never quoted from a description over the telephone.
- How long is the work guaranteed?
- 90 days on labor, 365 days on parts, genuine OEM parts only. The cover is on the part we fitted and the labor that fitted it. A different fault appearing later on the same appliance is a new job, and we say which of the two we think it is before anything is charged for.
Owner feedback
What owners said about the bill
4.6 out of 5, across 69 customer reviews. Each one is a single visit, in the words of the person who paid for it.
The leak is fixed and the machine is fine. Getting there involved a wrong part on the first order and a longer wait than I had expected, and I rang twice to find out where things stood. Good outcome, patchy along the way.
Everything came out cloudy no matter what we changed in the rinse aid. He tested the water hardness, checked the heater circuit and found it was not heating at all. A new heating element went in and the glasses are clear.
