WOLF Induction Cooktop (CTI) Series Troubleshooting Guide
This document outlines troubleshooting procedures for the WOLF Induction Cooktop (CTI) Series. It details how to enter and navigate diagnostic modes, perform various tests, and interpret error codes to identify and resolve potential issues.
Understanding Diagnostic Modes
The guide explains how to enter Diagnostics Mode by pressing and holding the universal OFF key. It describes the sequence of tests that can be performed, including LED tests, cooling fan tests, control temperature tests, heat sink thermistor temperature tests, and error code indicator tests. Each test is initiated by specific key presses on the cooktop controls.
Error Code Interpretation
A significant portion of the guide is dedicated to understanding and resolving error codes. It categorizes errors into priority levels (Priority 1, 2, and 3) based on their severity and impact on the unit's operation. A comprehensive chart lists displayed error codes, their conditions, notes, and possible sources of failure with recommended actions, such as checking connections, replacing components, or performing specific tests.
Common Problems and Solutions
The document also addresses common problems like the "HOT" indicator staying on or no pan detection. It provides potential causes and suggested tests or actions, including verifying surface temperature, checking for electrical noise, testing thermistor resistance, and ensuring correct pan types and wiring are used. A critical safety warning emphasizes disconnecting power before any disassembly.
