How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off gas and power before servicing. If you suspect a serious gas issue, contact a licensed gas technician.
- Clean burner: Remove the oven bottom panel and take out the bake burner. Clean all ports with a wire brush and ensure the igniter area is free of debris.
- Check burner alignment: Reinstall the burner so that the igniter is properly positioned in the flame path.
- Replace igniter: If the igniter glows weakly or slowly, replace it with a new Wolf-compatible hot surface igniter.
- Gas pressure: Have a professional verify and adjust gas pressure and regulator settings if delayed ignition persists.
