🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try

This is a documented drain-pump problem; Thermador's own guidance is to contact support.

⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That

  • The drain pump is best diagnosed and replaced by a technician rather than guessed at.

Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
