Wolf CONTINUOUS IGN Error Code — Rangetop Fault Fix

Error Code Explained

What Does the Wolf CONTINUOUS IGN Error Code Mean?

A Wolf professional rangetop where one or more igniters click continuously — even with all knobs in the off position — indicates moisture has entered an ignition electrode assembly, creating a leakage path that triggers the spark module without a knob command. In rare cases, a failed spark module with a stuck relay causes continuous clicking.

Root Causes

Common Causes of the Wolf CONTINUOUS IGN Error Code

1

Moisture in Ignition Electrode Area

Liquid from spills or cleaning has entered the electrode housing, creating a low-resistance path to ground that continuously activates the spark module.
2

Conductive Food Debris Bridging Electrode Gap

Conductive cooking residue has built up between the electrode tip and the burner body, causing continuous triggering.
3

Failed Spark Module with Stuck Output

The electronic spark module has failed with a stuck-on output for one or more electrode circuits.
