Wolf ovens display error codes when problems occur. Learn what common codes mean and when to call for professional service.

Wolf ovens communicate problems through error codes displayed on the control panel. Understanding these codes helps you troubleshoot issues and decide when professional service is needed.
F1 errors generally indicate control board problems. These may be temporary glitches or signs of a failing board. Try resetting the oven by turning off the circuit breaker for 30 seconds.
F2 codes typically relate to temperature sensing issues. The oven may be overheating or the temperature sensor may be faulty. Discontinue use until the issue is resolved.
F3 errors usually indicate an open temperature sensor circuit. This prevents the oven from accurately monitoring internal temperature. The sensor likely needs replacement.
F4 codes suggest a shorted temperature sensor. Similar to F3, this affects temperature accuracy and requires sensor replacement.
F5 errors often relate to the control board's inability to communicate with other components. This may indicate wiring issues or a failing control board.
Door lock errors (often F7 or similar) occur during self-clean cycles when the door lock mechanism fails to engage or disengage properly.
When troubleshooting, always record the exact error code and any other symptoms. Knowing whether the error appears immediately on startup or only during certain operations helps diagnosis.
Some errors can be cleared by power cycling, but if the code returns, the underlying problem remains. Continuing to use an oven with persistent error codes may cause further damage.
Our Wolf-certified technicians can diagnose error codes and provide proper repairs using genuine Wolf replacement parts.
