Wolf FLAME OUT Error Code | Fast & Reliable Repair

Error Code Explained

What Does the Wolf FLAME OUT Error Code Mean?

A Wolf gas cooktop burner that extinguishes unexpectedly during cooking — without wind or deliberate shutdown — indicates a thermocouple flame safety device failure or a gas supply interruption. When the thermocouple does not confirm flame presence, it signals the gas valve to close as a safety measure, extinguishing the burner.

Root Causes

Common Causes of the Wolf FLAME OUT Error Code

1

Failed or Contaminated Thermocouple

The thermocouple sensing the burner flame has failed or is coated in residue, causing it to incorrectly signal no flame and close the gas valve.
2

Gas Supply Pressure Drop

A momentary gas supply pressure drop — from simultaneous high-demand appliance use — extinguishes the flame.
3

Burner Cap Directing Flame Away from Thermocouple

A misaligned burner cap directs the flame away from the thermocouple sensing zone.
