The PDR366 is a genuinely older Thermador range – it predates the brand’s current ‘PRD’ model-numbering convention, using ‘PDR’ instead, and its own service manual specifies it’s for residential use only and designed to work with a matching PRS36HS high-shelf accessory. This is exactly the kind of well-built-but-out-of-production unit where owners often can’t find current parts diagrams easily, even though the range itself may still be mechanically sound after many years of use.
Because Thermador published a dedicated service manual for this model rather than just an owner’s guide, the burners, igniters, and oven parts are individually serviceable rather than requiring whole-unit replacement for most failures. If a burner won’t light and there’s any smell of gas on a range this age, shutting off the gas supply to the range comes first, before inspecting or servicing anything else, and aging gas parts deserve extra caution given the unit’s years of service.
