Thermador Induction Overheat Alert
Induction Overheat Alert is usually one of a small number of specific, repairable causes — here's what to check and when it's worth calling a professional.
Common Causes
The age of the installation rather than the appliance
This is the oldest housing stock of any metro we cover, and in a pre-1940 kitchen the opening, the venting and the supply are usually older than the fault being reported.
A specific failed component rather than the whole unit
Most single-symptom issues trace back to one part, not a systemic failure.
Wear on parts that see the most daily use
Moving parts and seals typically fail before electronic or structural components.
Local conditions that matter here
A range in a pre-war San Francisco kitchen is usually sitting in an opening cut for something much smaller, on a supply sized for another century. Before a burner or igniter fault gets blamed on the appliance, it is worth knowing whether the gas line and the circuit behind it were ever sized for it.
