The PODMC301W pairs a full 4.5 cu ft, 16-mode Professional convection oven on top with a 4.7 cu ft, 36-mode speed oven (including microwave) on the bottom, drawing a combined 10,200 watts. Note the circuit spec Thermador lists is 16A despite the high wattage – worth double-checking nameplate ratings against the panel breaker on service calls, since that’s a comparatively light amperage for the power draw versus this brand’s other double ovens.
As with other combination units, the two cavities are functionally different appliances sharing a cabinet: the lower speed oven’s microwave parts (magnetron, turntable motor, high-voltage diode) are the ones to check for no-heat-in-microwave-mode complaints, while the upper cavity’s Rotisserie and MaxBroil elements are unrelated systems entirely.
