Wolf OVER TEMP Error Code — Warming Drawer Fault Fix

Error Code Explained

What Does the Wolf OVER TEMP Error Code Mean?

A Wolf warming drawer overtemperature event occurs when the drawer cavity or control area exceeds the safe operating limit, triggering the thermal protection system. The drawer shuts down or disables the heating element as a protective measure. This can be caused by a stuck heating relay, blocked ventilation, or a failed temperature sensor reporting an incorrect low temperature.

Root Causes

Common Causes of the Wolf OVER TEMP Error Code

1

Stuck Closed Heating Relay

The relay controlling the heating element has stuck in the closed position, keeping the element continuously energized and causing temperature to exceed safe limits.
2

Failed Temperature Sensor Reporting False Low

The thermistor is reading a lower temperature than actual, causing the control to continue heating past the set point.
3

Blocked Drawer Ventilation

Towels, dishware, or items have been placed in a way that blocks the drawer interior ventilation, concentrating heat to dangerous levels.
