Error Code Explained
What Does the Wolf LOCKOUT Error Code Mean?
Wolf professional rangetop ignition systems on select models enter a safety lockout after a programmed number of failed ignition attempts without flame confirmation. The lockout prevents continuous gas valve actuation without flame detection, reducing the risk of unburned gas accumulation. The lockout clears only after a circuit breaker reset.
Root Causes
Common Causes of the Wolf LOCKOUT Error Code
-
1Repeated Failed Ignition AttemptsMultiple attempted ignition cycles without successful flame confirmation have triggered the spark module safety lockout counter.
-
2Intermittent Flame Sensor Causing False Failed CountsA weak or intermittent flame sensor registers failed ignition even when the burner lit, accumulating enough failed counts to trigger lockout.
