Wolf UNEVEN FLAME Error Code | OEM Parts & Warranty

Error Code Explained

What Does the Wolf UNEVEN FLAME Error Code Mean?

A Wolf gas cooktop burner producing an uneven, lopsided, or yellow-tipped flame pattern — rather than the expected even blue flame ring — indicates blocked burner ports, a misaligned burner cap, or a gas-air mixture imbalance. Uneven flame causes uneven heat distribution and potential carbon buildup on cookware.

Root Causes

Common Causes of the Wolf UNEVEN FLAME Error Code

1

Partially Blocked Burner Ports

One or more burner ports are partially clogged by food debris or residue, reducing gas flow through that section of the burner ring.
2

Misaligned Burner Cap

The burner cap is not correctly seated, blocking or redirecting gas flow from specific port sections.
3

Gas-Air Mixture Imbalance

The air shutter on the burner is incorrectly adjusted, causing an improper gas-to-air ratio that produces a yellow or uneven flame.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions — Wolf UNEVEN FLAME

A yellow or orange flame indicates incomplete combustion — the gas-air mixture is too rich. While not immediately dangerous in small amounts, sustained yellow flame produces carbon monoxide and deposits carbon on cookware. Clean the burner ports and reseat the cap. If the flame remains yellow after cleaning, schedule professional air shutter adjustment.
