Problem
The oven would keep the heating element all the way on, even when the oven was over the set temperature.
Tools
Torx-bit, the same size was used everywhere, which was great. Slide-out razor blade for cutting the caulk holding the oven into the cabinet.
Repair & Advice
After removing the few screws holding the oven in, we couldn't get it out of the cabinet. Turns out the caulk for giving clean lines while painting had an extremely strong hold on the oven. After cutting that we were able to slide the oven out.
With it out, it was easy to remove the screws (torx) holding the control panel in.
***TAKE PICTURES OF THE WIRE CONNECTIONS TO THE CONTROL BOARD BEFORE REMOVING THEM*** (several of them have the same connectors and could be reinstalled incorrectly)
Swap the board, reassemble. Cook and eat :)

Problem
Thermador wall oven stuck on broil.
Tools
Power screwdriver and some form of cart/stool to support the oven
Repair & Advice
My Thermador wall oven kept getting stuck on broil. This control board seems to have solved the issue.
Overall, the replacement is not difficult except getting access to the board can be challenging. Many wall ovens allow you to get to the control board relatively easy (usually an access panel on top of the oven) without having to completely remove the oven. However, my oven had an integrated microwave and though I could open the access panel and see the module, the only practical way to get it out was remove the microwave and its brackets. In order to do that I had to basically take the oven out of the wall to access several screws/brackets on the back side of the microwave. The easiest solution was to purchase a Pittsburgh Automotive 500 lbs. Capacity Hydraulic Table Cart ($190). That made the job super easy. I just slid the oven most of the way out onto the cart. Removed the 20 or so screws hold everything together to get easy access to the board. Took some pictures and used a marker to label the connectors. The board is only slide locked into place. You do not have to turn the tabs to remove the circuit board. It is all one piece with circuit board and metal bracket. Just reinstall all the screws and brackets and push the oven back into place.
Total time for the whole project was about 90 minutes. I could easily do it in half that time now that I know how to do it. You could save some money and make a wooden support for the oven when pulled out, but I will find alternate uses for the hydraulic cart so not wasted money IMO.

Tools

Repair & Advice
My Bosch in wall oven started to over heat, even though it was set to 350. In 10 minutes my wife's brownies were burnt black. The temperature kept increasing and wouldn't stop when it reached the set temperature. I replaced the control board which was located on the top of my combo microwave and oven. Had to remove the microwave first to access the top of the oven. Take a photo of the wiring before you remove the old control board. Make sure no wires are laying on the oven surface, so tie wrap them like they were originally. The total time was 90 minutes including removal from the wall and reinstall. only needed a T10 torq bit. I did test the oven with a thermometer before reinstalling the microwave top. The control board fixed the over heating problem.
