Think of the PO301W as the more modest relative of Thermador’s flagship POD301W. It is a single wall oven, 30 inches wide, in the Professional Collection, with True Convection in 4.5 cu ft. The spec sheets give it 13 cooking modes and a Single-Point probe; the POD301W steps up with 16 modes, Multi-Point probing and a MaxBroil broiler. Thermador’s site currently has the PO301W as out of stock.
The takeaway for a technician is simple: a Professional label does not guarantee a particular broil element or probe. Before anyone orders a MaxBroil part, we compare the model number on the nameplate with the spec sheet, so we never buy for a POD301W what is actually a PO301W.
Typical wear items follow: the probe port, the convection fan motor after years of True Convection, the cool-down door lock, the touch panel and Home Connect pairing.
No, despite the near-identical names. The PO301W has 13 modes, a Single-Point probe, no Rotisserie and no MaxBroil, according to Thermador's spec sheets; the POD301W offers MaxBroil, 16 modes and a Multi-Point probe.
Thermador's installation spec calls for a dedicated 30A circuit at 240/208V, which matches what the ME301WS and ME301YP single ovens need as well, so an electrician has an easy target.
Definitely. Similar names hide different broil elements and probes between Professional models, so the exact model number tells us which part to order and spares you a return.
