How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Some warmth is normal, but surfaces should not be dangerously hot. If they are, discontinue use and investigate.

Steps:

  • Inspect the door gasket for continuity around the frame; replace if torn or compressed.
  • Check that the cooling fan runs during and after baking; if not, test and replace the fan motor.
  • Remove the door (per Wolf instructions) and inspect the inner glass panels for cracks or misalignment.

Corrective actions:

  • Replace cracked or missing inner door glass.
  • Ensure all door screws and brackets are tight to maintain the air gap between glass layers.
