PH60GWS

What we most often repair on units like this

1. One lamp section out across the 60" width
2. Several baffle filters out of alignment or saturated
3. Damper restricting airflow on a long duct
4. Blower noise at high speed from a heavy wheel load
5. Control panel not responding to speed or lamp commands
6. Wi-Fi link missing after a router replacement

At close to five feet across, the PH60GWS is one of the largest wall hoods Thermador makes, and it is usually found over a 60″ range or a range with a separate griddle section in a big family or entertaining kitchen. Everything about service is scaled up: more filters, more lights, a longer duct and a much greater demand for replacement air.

We begin with the damper and the duct, because a 59 15/16″ hood that draws against a long run sounds loud without clearing the smoke. Then we test the warming lamp, which on a hood this wide is easy to forget until it is needed, followed by every baffle filter and the four fan speeds.

We also verify the Wi-Fi connection and Hood Sync pairing if you use an induction cooktop, check the clearance of 30″ above the cooking surface, and give you a written price before replacing any part.
