Few cooktops are as connected as the CIT36XWB: a TFT display, Wi-Fi and lights that follow your pan across the surface. That also means the service list is more varied than for a plain induction top, and a lot of it involves software, sensors and power electronics rather than a heating coil alone.
When we arrive, we start by checking whether the display powers up cleanly on the 30 A, 208-240 V feed. Then we test the six elements and the TeppanyakiPro area, which treats several zones as a single griddle. Owners often ask about the home app; we confirm the router connection, but a cooktop that heats normally with a weak signal is not broken.
CIT36YWB is the number Thermador gives as this model’s successor. With so much electronics under one pane of glass, we also ask whether anything was spilled or splashed near the display before the trouble began.
We check the signal strength where the cooktop is installed and the network settings. Cooking does not depend on Wi-Fi, so this is usually a settings matter.
It uses several coils together, so one weak coil shows up as a cool stripe. We test each coil and the pan detection.
No. Sapphire Glow lights show cookware position. If they stop following the pan, a sensor is the first item we test.
