Frequently Asked Questions

Can I still use my Thermador oven with error code E125?
Yes, you can use your oven for regular baking and roasting functions. However, the probe cooking feature will not work until the error is resolved, so you cannot monitor internal food temperature automatically.
How much does a replacement Thermador oven probe cost?
Thermador oven temperature probes typically cost between $80-150 depending on your specific oven model. Always verify compatibility with your exact model number before purchasing.
Why does my Thermador oven probe keep failing?
Common causes include excessive heat exposure from placing the probe too close to heating elements, physical damage from dropping or rough handling, moisture damage from improper cleaning, or normal wear from extended use over several years.
How do I clean my Thermador oven temperature probe?
Clean the probe with warm soapy water after each use, avoiding harsh chemicals or abrasives. Never submerge the connector end in water. Dry thoroughly before storage to prevent corrosion of electrical contacts.
What should the resistance reading be on a good Thermador oven probe?
At room temperature (around 70°F), a functioning Thermador oven probe should measure approximately 1000-1100 ohms resistance. Readings significantly outside this range indicate a faulty probe requiring replacement.
