A knob-and-button oven is rare among the Thermador singles we see, and the POD301J is one of them. Instead of a touchscreen it has physical push buttons and rotary knobs, so complaints tend to be mechanical or electrical in the switches rather than about a display. A knob that spins freely or a button with no response points straight to the switch or the board behind it.
It has a 4.7 cu. ft. cavity, 13 modes and a rotisserie with its own spit, plus Max Broil and Max Convection Broil. Its named successor is PO301W. Rated at 7300 watts on a 30 amp, 240/208 volt circuit, the oven draws heavily in broil, which is why we check the terminals and the broil element early.
The rotisserie motor, the convection fan and the door latch are the moving parts, so those get tested when relevant. A written price precedes any order, and we back repairs with a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Common causes are a worn spit socket, an unbalanced roast or grease in the drive. We clean and test the socket, then the motor, before any replacement.
Sometimes the knob has slipped on the shaft, but if the setting does not register the switch behind it may be worn. We test the switch contacts to be sure.
Thermador lists it as the successor. Fit and features should be checked against your cutout before ordering, and we can measure the opening to confirm.
