PCG366W

What we most often repair on units like this

1. Gas odor means closing the shutoff valve before you inspect any of the six burners
2. With six burners in 36 inches, a weak or yellow flame stands out against its neighbors, so begin with how that burner's cap sits and whether its ports are clean
3. The heavy total BTU load means an undersized gas line or marginal regulator is likely to show up as several burners underperforming together

The PCG366W has no griddle and packs six sealed burners into 36 inches, the most Thermador puts in that width. Its ratings are 108,000 BTU for natural gas and 90,000 for LP, plus ExtraLow simmer. All that firepower needs a good deal of gas, and that is the key to servicing it.

If just one burner looks off, we treat it as local: reseat the cap, clear the ports, test the igniter. Crowded burners make a single weak or yellow flame easy to spot beside the others. When several burners sag at the same time, however, we move away from the burners entirely and look at the line feeding them.

That means measuring supply pressure and judging whether the gas line size and regulator can handle the full load. Treating each burner separately would just be treating the effect and ignoring the supply.
