Error Code Explained

What Does the Wolf SIMMER RING FAULT Error Code Mean?

Wolf professional rangetops feature dual-stacked sealed burner assemblies with a primary outer ring and an inner simmer ring producing Wolf's ultra-low 300 BTU simmer setting. A simmer ring fault means the inner ring does not produce flame, or the transition between outer and inner ring operation is inconsistent. Outer ring function is typically maintained.

Root Causes

Common Causes of the Wolf SIMMER RING FAULT Error Code

  • 1
    Clogged Inner Simmer Ring Ports
    Food debris or residue has clogged the precision ports on the inner simmer ring, restricting gas flow to near zero.
  • 2
    Failed Simmer Ring Gas Valve
    The solenoid valve controlling gas flow to the inner simmer ring has failed or its wiring circuit has faulted.
  • 3
    Misaligned Dual-Ring Cap Assembly
    The dual-ring cap assembly is not correctly seated, misaligning the inner ring gas ports and preventing proper ignition.
