Possible Causes

Incorrect gas input rate, Partially blocked Wolf burner orifices, Low manifold gas pressure, Blower speed too high reducing temperature rise

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Gas input and pressure adjustments must be performed by a licensed gas technician. Do not adjust gas valves yourself.

  • Filter and airflow: Ensure the filter is clean and all registers are open. Excessive airflow can reduce supply air temperature.
  • Thermostat verification: Confirm the thermostat is properly calibrated and located away from drafts or heat sources.
  • Burner inspection: With power and gas off, remove the burner assembly and inspect Wolf burner orifices and ports for debris or rust. Clean gently with a soft brush; do not enlarge orifices.
  • Professional gas check: A technician should verify manifold pressure and input rate against the Wolf furnace rating plate and adjust or replace the gas valve if needed.
