The PODC302 is a legacy 30-inch Professional Collection double combination oven, built for convection-microwave combination use according to Thermador’s own installation instructions, which group it with the ME302 and MED302 of the same era on a documented 40A circuit requirement (208V/240V, 4-wire, single-phase).
Because it’s a combination unit, a ‘no heat’ complaint needs to be pinned to the correct cavity first – microwave-side problems (magnetron, turntable motor, high-voltage parts) are a different repair path than a convection-side element or fan failure, even though both cavities share the same electrical service.
Key Features
- 30-inch Professional Collection double combination built-in oven
- Dual-rated for 208V or 240V AC, 4-wire single-phase supply
- Documented circuit requirement: 40A
- Combination unit built for convection microwave use per Thermador's own installation instructions
Most Common Issues on This Model
Microwave section failing (magnetron, high-voltage diode) independent of the convection cavity
Breaker undersized for the documented 40A requirement
Door seal/hinge wear
Electromechanical or early-electronic timer assembly failure
Wiring corrosion at the junction box given the appliance's age
