The MED272 is Thermador’s legacy 27-inch double built-in electric wall oven, sized for a narrower cutout than the 30-inch MED302 but built on the same dual-rated 208V/240V platform from the same era. Thermador’s installation manual documents a required 40A circuit for this model, matching the ME302 and MED302 of the same generation.
As with any two-cavity oven, isolating which oven is actually to blame – upper or lower – is the first useful diagnostic step before assuming a shared control or wiring problem; each cavity typically has its own heating elements and thermostat even though both draw from the same circuit.
Key Features
- 27-inch double built-in electric wall oven
- Dual-rated for 208V or 240V AC, 4-wire single-phase supply
- Documented circuit requirement: 40A
- Narrower 27-inch double-oven counterpart to the 30-inch MED302 of the same generation
Most Common Issues on This Model
Breaker undersized for the documented 40A requirement
One cavity's element or thermostat failing independently
Door seal/hinge wear on either cavity, more pronounced given the narrower cabinet footprint
Electromechanical timer/clock assembly failure
Wiring corrosion at the junction box
