For narrower cabinets Thermador made the SEC271, a legacy built-in electric convection oven, 27 inches wide. Its installation manual puts it in one family with the SEC301, SEC302 and the older C-series ovens (C271, C272, C301, C302), all listed as Built-in Electric Convection Ovens with common cabinet preparation and electrical installation steps.
The “S” in the SEC name marks the self-clean capability. On an oven of this age, the most frequent call is a door that stays locked long after the cycle is over. That points to the lock mechanism or its control signal, so it should never be forced open.
Otherwise service comes down to tired heating elements, a convection fan motor that has aged, door seal wear that upsets baking consistency, and the aging relays or control board of an electromechanical or early-electronic design.
Mainly width. The two come from one Thermador generation and one manual family, and both clean themselves, yet the SEC271 measures 27 inches against 30 for the SEC302.
The lock stays engaged until the cavity cools to a safe temperature. If it holds long after that point, suspect the lock motor or its control circuit, and do not force the door.
The installation manual groups it with its sibling ovens for electrical steps. We read the nameplate and compare it with your breaker and wiring, rather than relying on the family label alone.
