Error Code Explained
What Does the Wolf CONTINUOUS CLICK Error Code Mean?
A Wolf gas cooktop where igniters click continuously without any knob command indicates moisture has entered an ignition electrode assembly, creating a conductive path that triggers the spark module continuously. This is one of the most common Wolf gas cooktop faults — typically caused by a cooking liquid boil-over reaching the electrode area.
Root Causes
Common Causes of the Wolf CONTINUOUS CLICK Error Code
-
1Moisture in Electrode AssemblyCooking liquid or cleaning water has reached the ignition electrode housing, creating a leakage path that continuously activates the spark module.
-
2Conductive Food Residue at Electrode GapFood residue bridging the electrode gap to ground triggers continuous ignition.
-
3Failed Spark Module — Stuck OutputThe spark module has failed with a stuck-on output for one electrode circuit.
