Wolf Runaway Temperature / Overheating

Wolf oven overheats; food burns even when set to normal temperatures and no error code is displayed.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Shorted temperature sensor, Stuck-closed bake relay, Miswired elements after repair, Failed control board temperature regulation

Safety: Turn off power at the breaker immediately if the oven overheats uncontrollably.

Steps:

Test the temperature sensor resistance at room temperature; a very low reading indicates a shorted sensor.
Inspect the relay/power board for a stuck or welded bake relay.
Verify element wiring against the Wolf wiring diagram if any recent repairs were done.

Corrective actions:

Replace a shorted temperature sensor.
Replace the relay/power board or main control board if a relay is stuck closed.
