Thermador Induction Overheat Alert
Induction Overheat Alert is usually one of a small number of specific, repairable causes — here's what to check and when it's worth calling a professional.
Common Causes
Elevation, in almost every direction
Less oxygen for combustion, less air mass over a condenser and a boiling point near 202°F all change what a symptom means here.
A specific failed component rather than the whole unit
Most single-symptom issues trace back to one part, not a systemic failure.
Wear on parts that see the most daily use
Moving parts and seals typically fail before electronic or structural components.
Local conditions that matter here
At this altitude there is materially less oxygen for combustion, and appliances shipped with sea-level orifices run rich until they are converted. That shows up as yellow-tipping burners, sooting and slow recovery — symptoms that look like a failing valve and are usually a conversion that never happened.
