The ME302 is the double-oven counterpart to the legacy ME301, a 30-inch built-in electric double wall oven from the same pre-Home Connect Thermador generation. Its documented circuit requirement, per Thermador’s installation manual, steps up to 40 amps – noticeably higher than the single-cavity ME301’s 30A, reflecting the added second cavity’s power draw.
With two independent heating cavities on one hardwired circuit, it’s worth confirming early in a service call whether a reported problem affects one oven or both; a single-cavity problem points to that cavity’s own element or wiring, while a problem in both usually traces back to the shared circuit or a common control part.
Key Features
- 30-inch double built-in electric wall oven
- Dual-rated for 208V or 240V AC, 4-wire single-phase supply
- Documented circuit requirement: 40A
- Older generation predating current Home Connect-enabled double ovens
Most Common Issues on This Model
Breaker undersized for the documented 40A requirement
One cavity's heating element failing independently of the other
Door seal/hinge wear on either cavity
Electromechanical timer/clock assembly failure
Junction-box wiring corrosion given the appliance's age
