Thermador Error Codes Oven, Dishwasher, Freedom Column Faults — What They Mean
Thermador is the BSH luxury sister-brand to Bosch and Gaggenau — Sapphire and Star Sapphire dishwashers share the Bosch platform (so E-codes are identical), but Pro Grand / Pro Harmony ranges and Freedom built-in columns have their own fault sets. The Twin Cities calls we see most are dishwasher E15 (AquaStop), oven F-code panel faults, and Freedom column door-gasket / temperature alarms.

What we fix in Minneapolis
The Minneapolis repair mix
Sapphire & Star Sapphire dishwashers — Bosch platform
Thermador Sapphire and Star Sapphire dishwashers are built on the Bosch platform (BSH parent company). E-codes are identical: E15 AquaStop leak, E22 filter clogged, E24 drain blocked, E25 drain pump fault. Diagnostic and repair procedures are identical to Bosch — see our Bosch dishwasher error code page for the full breakdown.
Freedom built-in refrigerator columns
T18, T24, T30, T36, T42, T48 Freedom columns are 84" tall single-cavity built-ins (fridge OR freezer per column, paired side-by-side in luxury kitchens). Common Twin Cities calls: door gasket out of compression at year 8+ (gasket replacement $485–$685 OEM), hinge cartridge sag (re-shim or replace), evap fan failure (warm side, cold fan), defrost system (frosted evap coil). Sealed-system work runs $885–$1,985 OEM but a Freedom column replacement runs $7K–$13K — repair is almost always the right call.
Pro Grand / Pro Harmony ranges
Thermador Pro Grand 48" / 60" and Pro Harmony 30" / 36" / 48" ranges use the signature Star Burner with ExtraLow simmer. Most common faults: weak igniter on a burner (clicks but no flame — spark module or individual igniter), F1 oven sensor, dE / F5 door latch, F7 touch panel. We carry OEM Thermador igniters, spark modules, oven sensors, and door latches on the truck.

FAQ
Minneapolis questions, answered
Are Thermador and Bosch dishwasher codes the same?
Yes — Thermador Sapphire and Star Sapphire dishwashers are built on the Bosch platform (same BSH parent). E15 / E22 / E24 / E25 codes and diagnostic procedures are identical to Bosch.
What does E15 mean on a Thermador dishwasher?
E15 = AquaStop leak detector tripped (water in base pan). Tip the unit 45° to drain the pan, dry, then dye-test to find the leak — usually a sump gasket, drain-pump volute O-ring, or spray-arm feed tube. $245–$425 all-in. Don't reset and re-run.
Is a Thermador Freedom column worth repairing?
Almost always yes. A Freedom T36 / T42 / T48 column replacement runs $7K–$13K. Even sealed-system repair at $1,485–$1,985 OEM is under 20% of replacement.
Do you service Thermador in the Twin Cities?
Yes — factory-trained on dishwashers, ranges, ovens, cooktops, and Freedom built-in refrigerator / freezer columns. OEM parts only. Service across the Twin Cities luxury-home market (Lake Minnetonka, Edina, Wayzata, Kenwood, North Oaks).
How much does Thermador repair cost?
Most Thermador repairs land $345–$785 all-in. Dishwasher (same as Bosch) $235–$465. Oven sensor / latch $385–$585. Range igniter / spark module $345–$485. Freedom column gasket $485–$685. Sealed-system work runs $885–$1,985 OEM. The $149 trip fee is waived when you approve the repair.
