2021 Wolf Range Updates -- Any idea of timing?

3 years ago

I've seen the announcements that the 2021 Wolf dual-fuel ranges will have improved convection. We are committed to a Wolf 48" and ideally would like the 2021. Any info on when it'll be available?? We should move into our new home in late April, so I think it's cutting it really close unfortunately.

Looks fantastic! There is hope for me yet. I ordered our 36 DF last July also.

Just got word that our 36" DF has arrived at our dealer. Ordered last August. Seems like maybe the pace is picking up a bit? Knock on wood.

Update on my smelly Wolf range
Q
Comments (54)
okay, I've got a 60" all gas range, its 7 years old now and has run like a champ, other than having to have windows in the doors adjusted because they came apart, and my double griddle having thermostat issues when brand new. Now, I've got this weird smell coming out of the burners and both ovens when they are being used. Its been going on for about three days. It smells like turpentine being burned. I called the gas company to see if they were doing anything and they said no, it may be a manufacturer thing. It works fine, it just smells like something is burning no matter what I am using, burners, oven or broiler. Any ideas or suggestions? My stove is clean so its not leftovers burning and if it were, it wouldn't smell chemical-like.

Any cleaning tips for Wolf range?
Q
Comments (25)
No, I saw it, too (they send a hinge pin with the range to use if/when you remove the door). So far I've just wiped down the grates with a damp sponge (scrubbed some spilled food spots with the scrubby side of the sponge), but that's about it as far as the grates go. In addition to the Goo Gone I'd suggested above, I've found what works really well on the burner pans (black enamel) for spraying and wiping, not for the burnt-on stuff, is the SCI Clean Encounters granite cleaning spray. I had it out to clean the counters one day, and decided to try it on the range top since it needed to be cleaned too, and it did a great job. I gave it a few spritzes, and wiped/buffed dry with the same microfiber that I'd used on the counters. No streaking, and the enamel looked really nice afterwards. I used the same damp microfiber to wipe down the SS after that, and it even did a good job there as well. I'll look for the Dawn Power Dissolver for stubborn spots. It's probably good to have on hand.

About to buy Wolf induction range -- any reason not to?
Q
Comments (14)
The replacement 36" Wolf Induction Range has been in place for a couple of months and not really used much as we completed the kitchen. We have now had it operational for several weeks. We are very excited by all of the benefits of the induction top: precise control, rapid temperature adjustments and the even performance of the convection oven. Unfortunately, this second oven has also developed a service issue. About one week ago, the unit began experiencing an E09 error condition on the front right hob. The fault is identified as an issue with Generator 2 and the service representative is ordering a part with a possible replacement date of this Friday. Admittedly, I am beginning to develop some genuine concern about reliability given the amount of money invested in this purchase. To have 2 different ranges have 2 different problems in the short term we have had them is upsetting. I'm not sure if it is coincidence or symptomatic of a larger quality problem. While the service process has been smooth and responsive, I'm disappointed to have to share that I've even had to use them this early in my experience with this new product. The service tech maintains that the failures that he's seeing in the field are few and far between. I'm wondering if anyone else is having issues with their range. I think Wolf is still exclusive with a 36" induction range but I'd love to hear from others who have either the 30 or 36" induction range models. How's your reliability?.

2021 Wolf DF rang update?
Q
Comments (1)
First read about the issues that Wolf has with the blue lining chipping. This has been going for on for well over 10 years. It is well documented on this site With some going through more than one oven. In order to to deal with this problem, Wolf deigned the M wall oven to have a replaceable bottom. This range looks to be following this design, but look at the bottom to see if there is a removable bottom. They also addd some online functions. They also moved the convection fans and elements from the back to the corners(“verticross”) and got rid of the convection bake and convection broil mode. People have complained about uneven baking with the “M” wall oven. This is Wolf’s Illustration of the airflow but it has been taken off of their website. The fan blows heated air from the corners. This creates hot spots on the sides. This is a screenshot from their video about how “evenly” the oven bakes. This is when they pulled them out and changed position. I think this is tinkering with something that wasn’t broken. If you could go to convection bake, it might help that but they took it off. I think the DF range now is a much better oven in the way it functions but the new one is easier to fix if you have the blue liner chip. This is the manual for the new range. https://www.subzero-wolf.com/-/media/files/united-states/product-downloads/sub-zero-wolf/use-and-care/wolf/dual-fuel-range-use-and-care-guide.pdf

We just ordered (June 1) and were told May 2023. I assume that means August 2023. Luckily, our designer bought three induction ranges in anticipated of the supply chain issues and we will be using a temp unit until ours arrives.

Why are people waiting so long for these ranges? What is the draw? Is there some capability that I'm missing that's better than alternatives? Or is it purely for the name plate?

Wolf were once somewhat well regarded but those days are long past. From a functional/performance stanpoint a Bluestar RNB is a much more capable and reliable range.

What am I missing?

Because they want them. Enough is quite enough with your Wolf bashing. I opted for a Wolf range in my kitchen remodel that is nearly done. I wanted a Bluestar, but after using one in a showroom it was a hard pass. Chintzy feeling. Questionable build quality. It’s great that you love your Bluestar, but for christ’s sake, let people love Wolf too.

Been using our 48” DF range woth double griddle for 3 months now and it is incredible to use and look at. built like a tank. Use the double griddle almost daily. It’s well seasoned and haven’t removed the seasoning and don’t think iI will.

"Because they want them."

Totally fine. I didn't say otherwise. I simply asked why. (and FWIW, our two prior ranges were Wolf and we initially assumed our new house would have a Wolf but that quickly changed when we bagan researching.)

For instance, from a functionality/performance standpoint the burners lack power and are much more uneven than BS and other ranges. The broiler is weaker.

What makes people pay so much money and wait so long?

I am going to order soon, I am aware of and ok with the wait, but curious if anyone is hearing anything about economic issues affecting timelines. ie, I suspect things will ease up a little, if people hold off on purchasing high-ticket items, but I'm not entirely sure what the delay is attributable to (a multitude of things, I'm sure).

Hey folks (not haters), we just ordered last week and received the following lead times (some good . . . some "trying"). 30" SubZero Refrigerator and 30" Freezer - June 2023; Two Subzero under-counter beverage centers - April 2023; 36" Induction Range - June 2023; 30" Convection Oven - October 2022; 30" Drop Down Microwave - November 2022; 30 Warming Drawer - October 2022; 24" Coffee System - October 2022; and Two 24" Cove Dishwashers - December 2022. Hoping the economic slowdown forecasted (which we are not rooting for) might improve those projected dates, but based on the experiences we had read about on this thread, we are not counting on it and we are prepared to be patient. We figure that one day, the wait will be behind us and any short term inconvenience will be long forgotten. For those also waiting . . . keep positive!

Posting this info on the remote chance it helps someone here in the Bay Area or SoCal.

Is anyone interested in our panel ready under-counter fridge/freezer unit (DEU2450CI/LH) or our 36” low profile stainless hood (PW362210) with 600 CFM remote blower (801640)? We ordered our appliances in September 2021 but because of a delay with our kitchen cabinets, our kitchen remodel got pushed to fall 2023.

I spoke to our salesperson and he’s willing to let someone else take delivery of our appliances. You can purchase one or more of these items at the current sales price. The under counter unit is scheduled to arrive in September of this year and our hood/blower is scheduled to arrive in October.

The store is located in Walnut Creek, but they can deliver anywhere in the Bay Area or you can pick-up from their warehouse. Alternatively, he may be able to arrange for delivery from SoCal since that's where they arrive from the factory before they're shipped to NorCal.

I don't have to pay any penalties for canceling these appliances and I won't lose any money for canceling. I'm just posting the offer here in case someone needs/wants their appliances sooner. I have another month or so to cancel.

Please PM me if you're interested, thanks.

please, please remember to include make up air in your exhaust hood ventillation system. the wolf gas ranges require super ventillation - not having make up air of some sort will defeat the exhaust ventillation and you will regret it. i used a passive air damper and it works fantastic.

Ordered Dec 2021. Estimate was Sept 2022 but would try to move up if possible. Then got great update in May 2022 - my allocation moved up to June 24 2022 delivery. June 30 update - sorry, no Wolf for you. Now back to September. Meanwhile, nowhere to cook since rest of kitchen update almost done and got rid of old range.

Sad to hear they still havent got their production line caught up! We ordered in January 2022 and were told spring of 2023, then as we checked the time frame was always moving out. As we were replacing a Viking that had set itself on fire, we decided to ditch Wolf. We got a Fisher Paykel that took 5 months and we are quite pleased with it. In the interim we did buy a Wolf toaster oven and it is fantastic- highly recommend!!

My Wolf 36 inch dual fuel, 30 inch speed oven, 30 inch steam oven were ordered the end of February 2022. I also have 27 inch sub zero drawers coming. They say maybe February of 2023. Ordered from Ferguson in Lenexa. Anyone else having any luck getting their appliances?

There is a light at the end of the tunnel. We ordered our large appliance package back in Nov. 2021, sub zero, wolf, cove, miele, electrolux, sharp, avallon & samsung. Everything with the exception of the sub zero columns and samsung french door fridge (laundry room) are in. This includes 2 undercounter sub zero items. I had my doubts, but it is happening, things are trickling in for everyone. I am optimistically hoping the quality has remained with these items.

My fingers are still crossed the sub zero columns come in Feb & March 2023 as promised, as were scheduled to be in the house by Dec. 1.

Good luck to everyone!

We ordered Dec 2021, 48' dual fuel, 4 burners and double griddle (along with Sub Zero Pro, beverage center, Cove DW, etc). Wolf range delivery dates pushed back multiple times as noted in prior post.

Latest estimate was Thanksgiving but this week retailer said now scheduled for March 2023 as best case. The store offered us an alternative model, 6 burners but single griddle (not very useful griddle size in my opinion) to be delivered immediately.

If I could start all over I would go back to look at Wolf's competitors more closely (I liked Miele and Viking and La Cornue but didn't seriously consider because we have always been loyal to Wolf). My wife and I didn't want to start all over again or be without an oven for the holidays so took the single griddle. Very disappointed.

We ordered a 36" dual fuel, 4 burner + griddle (DF36450G/S/P) November 2021. Estimated delivery mid-October 2022 but actually arrived a few weeks early. A long wait but worth it. For those of you still waiting, hang in there--you'll be happy in the end. I'm completely smitten. The speed oven came in about 4 months.

Jeff - We ordered Wolf/Sub Zero appliances in April 2022. It has been complete silence from the retailer with the exception of finally getting the initial delivery estimates after several attempts in August. I am wondering about the experiences of others. Have your retailers updated you on delivery dates. Has your retailer been proactive in trying to expedite the process and keep you informed?

Dual fuel models are taking far longer than all gas. When I ordered my all gas in Oct 2021, it was in stock and ready to ship.

True, but even within dual fuel, I was told by my sales guy that Wolf is focusing on producing the most popular confirgurations. I ordered a DF dual griddle Dec 2021. In Nov 2022, I was told delivery was pushed out for fourth time, this time to March 2023. However, the retailer offered me a single wide griddle, which they said Wolf had just produced a bunch of. I was disappointed but took it.

So #AA might want to check with retailer to see if a different configuration is available that might be acceptable to them.

Happy to have mine for the holidays.

Sharing my experience to keep the hope alive for those checking this thread as I did—

I ordered a 36" dual fuel w/griddle on Jan 28, 2022, and was given an estimated ETA of November 2022. November passed and I was given a date of December 7th, which of course was not met. I could not get a new date from my unreliable sales rep. With one full year passing after I placed my order, I continued to pester him every week showing my frustration. However, I couldn't get a new date from him much less any answers. I decided to contact Wolf in February and talked to a product specialist who actually had some answers for me (i.e., the delay with the dual fuel models was due to a specific part not passing QA from a supplier and causing a long backup). She then put me in touch with the distributor. The distributor was able to give me my ETA, which was May, but then was able to push it up to March 7th. They could've made up the May date entirely to set my expectations really low, but nonetheless, I was happy to get a solid date in March. Fast forward, it was installed today and as others have said on this thread, it was worth the wait.
