Cooling fan kept running for an hour after every cycle. Not broken exactly, but not right either. He traced it to a thermostat telling the fan the cavity was still hot. Small fix, and he treated it as worth doing properly.

Thermador ignition modules fail in a way Gloucester owners tend to report as several broken burners at once, because several burners click when one knob is turned. It is one module. On this coast the second thing worth checking is the condenser on any refrigeration in the same kitchen.
The brand, in general
Thermador ignition modules fail in a way that is easy to misread: several burners click at once when only one knob is turned, which owners reasonably report as "all the burners are broken". It is one module. On the refrigeration side the columns share their fault pattern with the rest of the built-in world — evaporator fan, defrost circuit, door seal — but the diagnostics are read off a different control, so the panel codes are worth photographing before anyone comes out.
Gloucester kitchens
The most exposed coastline we cover. Condensers here corrode faster than anywhere else on our list, and a unit that has never had its coil cleared will fail earlier than the same unit inland.

Warm at the top of the cabinet, cold at the bottom. Turned out the condenser had drawn in a decade of dust from the cooktop a few feet away. Cleaned properly and the airflow came back. He suggested a rough interval for doing it again.

Water was pooling on the cavity floor at the end of every cycle. Boiler seal had gone. He had the part with him, which I did not expect for something this uncommon, and it was done in the one visit.
