We have a Wolf Stove....

It is circa almost 20 years old.

I'm OCD. I have replaced the PAN top cause it needed a refresh.

All servicable parts are replaced when I refresh it (all spark modules, ignitors, gasket + o-rings)

Due to their design flaw....I do end up refurbishing the unit every 3-4 years.

Brand new gaskets, spark modules, ignitors....everything is replaced.

Don't ask...it's alot of money, like your typical deee-ziner brands. Everything is all at MSRP and it's a kings ransom just for some sub-standard gaskets.

Anyhow, either one of their parts suppliers or manuf. must have gone out of business as their replacement ignitors are garbage.....in a million different ways. Someone from R&D has screwed the pooch as it doesn't even fit and their response is to just SHOVE it in and make it fit.....

I was sent a video showing how to SHOVE the larger ignitor into the smaller hole opening of the pan top and and I'm still blown away this was their official company response .....I was expecting someting like, yes, we measured it, we confirm your findings, it is larger than the pan top and won't fit, etc.

Since this oversight of fitment was a clear indicator of someone not choosing:making the correct part , the ignitors don't even work 85% of the time. It is not isolated to just 1 burner head but all of them.

Just short of this single fault of needing to take a flame to light it, thoughts, feedback.

When is a range too old.

It's not like it's needs servicing....I just overhauled it except their new parts don't work nor are they taking ownership. At least $500+ in parts. No tech time:labor as it was self repaired. Not would it make sense at $$$ tech per hr x X hrs for a full overhaul.

Hot garbage or make the squeaky wheel squeak further
