Thermador’s gas cooktops rely on sealed burners, spark igniters, and mechanical knob controls, while the induction and electric lines run on touch-control electronics with their own documented error codes: dE for demo mode, F1/F6 for zone overheat, F2/F4 for electronics overheat, F5 for cookware detected too close to the control panel, and F8 combined with an H/h reading when a zone has run continuously long enough to trip its automatic time limit. Several induction-specific codes (E7010, E9000/E9010, E8204-E8206) relate to Wi-Fi/hood connectivity and the optional wireless cooking sensor rather than the cooktop itself.
Because gas and electronic cooktops fail through entirely different mechanisms, we diagnose which platform you have first, then work from Thermador’s own documented error code behavior rather than treating “cooktop repair” as one generic service.
Common Cooktop Problems
Gas burner won't light, or clicks without igniting
Cooktop stuck in demo mode ("dE") — won't heat any zone
Induction or electric zone overheats and shuts off (F1/F2/F4/F6)
"Hot cookware near control panel" problem (F5) with cookware that has cooled
Induction zone won't connect to Wi-Fi/hood, or reports a wireless sensor problem
Zone shuts off after extended continuous use (F8 + H/h)
