My Wolf range keeps beeping!!

15 years ago

My 36" DF is 6 months old. I have had this problem 5 - 6 times since I bought it. I called Wolf and they told me to shut the breaker off and then back on. Almost like rebooting a computer. Should I really have to keep doing this???? This happens EVERY time I loose my power and the clock blinks. Tonight it is beeping and shutting off the breaker didn't help. In fact I have kept the breaker off and it keeps beeping every 5 minutes. Has this happened to anyone else? I am calling Wolf tomorrow. I love all my new appliances but the beeping is driving me crazy. My fridge beeps if doors aren't closed right, my dishwasher beeps when done. And, my washer and dryer beep. I know this is suppose to be a good thing. It is doing its job to let me know they are done. But the Wolf Range is a different story. This is NUTS.

Magic answer!! Pull out the electronic oven knob for a few seconds to "reset" the communication with the electronic control board. Flipping breakers will Not work. I was going batty - thank goodness Wolf answered the phone 8pm on a Saturday night, and we wasted No time discussing any nonsense other than if it was a duel fuel range - then right to pulling the know out. Rest easy!!!

I can't speak to the range but you should be able to shut the beeping off on every other appliance. Just dig out your manuals and you'll find out how. I personally can't stand beeping so I shut it off on my washer/dryer, dishwasher, and even my microwave is muted so there is no beeping whatsoever. The only thing I have that has a permanent beep is the coffee-maker which beeps 5 times when done. Good luck with the Wolf: just keep at them and they'll eventually do the right thing. I was one of the unlucky ones with the screwed-up Wolf AG and they made it all right in the end.

It sounds like something is wrong - but do you really lose power that often?

Need cooking advice for my new Wolf R364C charbroil/gas range
Q
Comments (1)
Have had Wolf with Charboiler for 7 years. I assume the design hasn't changed. Don't know if the "reverberator plate" is the same as my "blank off" plate, which is a small SS plate that you put on the IR honey comb to reduce the heat. For what we grill, usually don't use it to get a full sear (and does it ever sear). But, curiousity led me to buy another plate and cut it into about a 4" and 7" plate to give different heat levels and by putting one of the shorter ones towards the back for a two stage, front sear and rear cooler finishing part. Works pretty well. As for cleaning, we used to follow manual and put damp cloth over grid to soften it up, but saw in a Wolf cooking demonstration where they just put a shallow aluminum throw away backing pan right over the grid for about a 10" burnoff after grilling, and that pretty much vaporizes residue to a white dust. Then every few times just pop out the whole liner and get it with Bar Keepers Friend and a SS scrubbie in the sink. Hope this helps . . .

Wolf cooktop/oven or Wolf 36" range
Q
Comments (29)
Thank you all for the additional information. The main problem I'm having is I have to decide ASAP since the cabinetmaker will not start until I nail this down - he's supposed to start Monday and we're already 8 days behind schedule. The original plan was the Viking+Electrolux, and wiring has been done already. My original original plan was a cooktop + double ovens, but that didn't work out since there was no other place for the MW. So it was suggested to put the second oven under the cooktop. I convinced myself this was better in case either broke, I could replace each easier/cheaper - this may not be true. A couple days ago I thought, why not a Wolf range (since I was revisiting the whole thing) --- but with them being so expensive, and having to redo electrical --- I thought maybe it's easier just to go with the original plan. I'm glad you sent the info on the Bertazzoni since it looks like that cooktop would actually work with my oven -- I was worried I'd be limited since the Wolf cooktop plus some others will NOT work above the Electrolux oven. So I do have some options there if I need to replace.... Thanks again!

Kitchen: Wolf 36 Gas Range w/ Griddle & Wolf v Dacor Range
Q
Comments (9)
Do you use a griddle now? I would consider an overlay griddle instead of a built in. The one I have(Royal industries)is 15”x23” and is about 50% bigger than a 2 burner built in. I have a Wolf range. It can be bigger because it is made of heavy aluminum which has much better heat transfer properties than steel so heats more evenly. It comes in bare aluminum which seasons over time and nonstick. With a built in you have about half of the power, somewhere around 15K BTUs. You can set the griddle anywhere you want or you have the flexibility of using all six burners. I have picked up my griddle and put it in the oven. You can take it to the sink to clean. These are Royal Industry overlays. They are pretty inexpensive. http://royalindustriesinc.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4_22_48 Chef King makes a similar griddle out of steel. With the built in, you have a thermostat so you can repeatedly turn it in to a certain temperature and get that amount of heat. If you go this way, look how the different brands are built. Wolf uses an infrared burner to get a more even heat. The steel is twice as thick as BlueStar. BlueStar uses this burner on the RNB griddle. Thermador uses an aluminum griddle and an electric element.

What hood to purchase for my Wolf range?
Q
Comments (1)
It is unclear what your cost limitations are, and whether you recognize that hood costs include ducting, a blower (internal or external), and an ability to meet flow rate (CFM) requirements for cooking plume containment. Further, the level of flow rate you need will likely require a source of make-up air (MUA) of minor or major complexity depending on myriad factors, starting with your existing combustion appliance configuration. Review of 'hood' and 'MUA' threads here is suggested. Ventilation out and in is not secondary to cooking unit acquisition, and can easily cost as much even on a budget. You might tour first the Wolf Design Guide for information on typical hood styles and sizes, and then offerings from Broan/Best/NuTone for lower cost counterparts. Keep in mind you will seldom get more than you pay for, and sometimes less, so a lower cost hood may have thinner sheet metal, less lovely welds, less effective baffles, and even potentially a less optimal grade of stainless steel. When CFM are defined and combustion appliance status revealed, we might be able to offer suggestions about MUA.

Almost like rebooting a computer.

Not almost, you are rebooting a computer.

Seriously, have you considered a UPS for your range? It would not have to be a large one.

I had the exact thing happen. They came out and replaced the "pod" (the flip-out oven control).

I agree with Keitel - stick with them and they'll make it right.

This totally worked for me! I could not find an answer in the manual so looked up online. I’ve never had this happen before and I’ve had my range 7 years. Thank you for posting!

Got my Wolf in 2010, and last night started beeping. Never had problem before. Last night, by hitting clock button it stopped, but the button seemed to stick (clock kept advancing). Came down this morning and decided to check it and set clock. Started beeping and this time couldn't get it to stop. Also, the oven light wouldn't come on.

Shut off the breaker just to stop the beeping, then got on google to see if there was a solution. Saw this and so turned breaker back on. Voila, it woked and all back to normal.

What did we do before the internet........

Oven just started beeping for no reason. Pulling out the oven dial knob seems to have worked. Thanks so much!

They installed our 48” dual fuel range and within 10 days, it started beeping non stop. It’s really annoying! We tried the breaker (what customer service said), pulled the knobs as stated above but nothing! Will need to call service again on Monday!

Wolf oven beeping. Tried circuit breaker. Didn’t help. Had service come out and Wolf service blamed our whole house Generac backup generator. Replaced part recommened by their service. Still beeps. Said replace circuit breaker. Did and still beeps.

Out almost $500 and still beeps. i have three options 1. live with beeping , 2. turn oven off at circuit breaker when not in use and 3. get a new oven. My husband wants me to get a new oven.

We have a dual cooker and this alarm goes off all the time. Have spent £££££s on it with the Wolf engineer who never finds out what the problem is. For the money we spent on this cooker it is substandard - rubbish customer service and if you are contemplating buying a Wolf don’t.
This is clearly a problem look how many of us are suffering this fault!! Wolf get this sorted!
