The temperature/resistance chart is typically found in the Wolf service manual for your specific model range. You can usually download it from the Wolf website or purchase a printed copy.
The service mode access varies by model. Consult your service manual. Some models involve pressing a combination of buttons on the control panel in a specific sequence.
You will need to locate the model number of your range (usually on a sticker inside the oven door or on the back of the unit). With the model number, you can search for the parts diagram online at a Wolf parts retailer or contact Wolf directly.
The electronic oven control (EOC) monitors the oven temperature using a resistance temperature detector (RTD). The EOC applies a small voltage to the RTD and measures the resulting current to determine the temperature. The F2 error indicates that the EOC has detected an oven temperature that is excessively high, exceeding a predetermined safety threshold. The microprocessor in the EOC analyzes the sensor data and voltage feedback.
The oven heats to a temperature exceeding the setpoint, even when set to a lower temperature. The F2 error code appears on the display, and the oven may shut down. Food may burn quickly.
Disconnect power to the range at the breaker panel before performing any repairs. Verify the power is off using a multimeter. The oven contains high voltage components that can cause serious injury or death. Lock Out / Tag Out (LOTO) procedures must be followed.
Periodically check the oven temperature with an accurate oven thermometer. Clean the oven temperature sensor with a soft cloth. Avoid placing items directly on the oven floor that could interfere with airflow. Annually inspect the wiring harness for damage.
Some Wolf ranges have a service mode that allows you to view real-time oven temperature sensor readings and relay status. Consult the service manual for instructions on accessing the service mode. The calibration settings are also accessible in the service mode.
