Possible Causes

Blocked ventilation, Overheating power module, Cookware removed or pan detection lost, Internal sensor drift

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the cooktop to cool before inspecting ventilation.

  • Check pan presence: Ensure the pan fully covers the cooking zone and remains centered. Removing the pan will cause the zone to shut off.
  • Ventilation: Verify that cabinet space under the cooktop is not packed with items blocking airflow. Clear at least the minimum space specified by Wolf.
  • Clean intake/exhaust: Vacuum dust from any visible vents or fan openings.
  • Power reset: Turn the breaker off for 5 minutes, then back on. If shutdowns continue, the internal temperature sensors or power module may need professional evaluation.
