The MD30WS is the 30-inch version of Thermador’s current MicroDrawer microwave. It isn’t sold as a separate product page on thermador.com, but Thermador’s own MD24WS use-and-care manual explicitly covers it (“Also for: MD30WS”), confirming it shares the touch-to-open drawer design, Sensor Cook, CookSmart programs, and Home Connect Wi-Fi of the 24-inch MD24WS in a wider cabinet opening.
Because it shares its mechanism with the MD24WS, the MD30WS is subject to the same drawer-glide and drive-motor wear patterns, plus the same condensation-related keypad problems documented across Thermador’s built-in microwave line. The wider drawer front can make glide misalignment more noticeable if the drawer isn’t rolling evenly on both sides.
Key Features
- 30-inch built-in MicroDrawer microwave, the wider sibling of the 24-inch MD24WS
- Touch-to-open drawer front and the same Sensor Cook, CookSmart auto-program, and Home Connect Wi-Fi platform as the MD24WS
- Documented on Thermador's own MD24WS use-and-care manual as an alternate width for the same drawer-microwave design
Most Common Issues on This Model
Drawer glide/motor mechanism wear can cause the drawer to bind, open slowly, or fail to fully seat and satisfy the door switch
Touch-open sensor or keypad problems after condensation exposure
Larger drawer front means hinge/glide alignment issues can be more noticeable than on the 24-inch model
