I was lowering my thermador cook n vent and it got jammed on a pot. It stuck in up position. Did something jump out of place when it got stuck? Can it be fixed?

I just had a similar problem. The switch knob, and backer for the blower got jambed in the housing. After pulling it all apart I called the parts center at Thermador and ordered a new switch. If you can hear the motor the raises the unit run, then that could be your problem.

sears labor is 137 plus parts. that is something that would need to be looked at. it could be a few different things. if he is handy he can open it up to see if anything is misaligned or broken. the vent may even just be a little crooked and once straight may go up and down like normal

I would think you can. Most of the cooktops are 240v and the vents are 120v, so the vent may be feeding off of one of the cooktop's hot wires. My vent is fed from it's own receptacle but is harnessed along with the cooktop's 240v.

replace the switch if the switch is going on and up position and not in down position the you should replace the switch for this part you can order it from thermador if they still stock the piece hope this helps

Hello. Chances are that the mechanism just needs to be cleaned and lubricated. Unscrew the panel to gain access to it and take a look see. Clean it with any degreaser and then lubricate it with some white lithium grease. Joe
