Error Code Explained

What Does the Wolf INFRARED ERR Error Code Mean?

Wolf professional rangetops with dedicated infrared burner zones (select Wolf dual-fuel and specialty models with infrared searing zones) use sensor-monitored infrared ceramic burner elements. An infrared burner fault indicates the control circuit is not registering ignition, the ceramic infrared element has failed, or the temperature sensor for the infrared zone has malfunctioned.
