Possible Causes

Failed convection fan, Warped or partially open oven door gasket, Burned-out bake or broil element section, Racks positioned incorrectly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool before inspection.

  • Check convection fan: In convection mode, listen for the fan. If silent, remove the rear panel inside the oven and inspect the fan for obstructions or failure.
  • Inspect elements: Look at the bake and broil elements for dark spots, breaks, or blisters. Replace any damaged elements.
  • Examine door gasket: Inspect the gasket around the door for gaps, tears, or compression. Replace if it does not seal evenly.
  • Rack placement: Use recommended rack positions from the Wolf manual for the type of cooking. Avoid placing pans directly against walls, which can block airflow.
