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