Fixed! Problem with surface elements in range Wolf.

In this article, you will find a solution for solving problems with surface elements, or if be precise, we will explain how to replace surface elements in range Wolf. You need to replace the radiant surface when it's damaged or it doesn't heat even though it's receiving the right voltage through the surface element switch. Process of replacing isn’t complicated, so you can do it even without experience. For this replacing you will need some tools: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, work gloves, sturdy prop such as a heavy stick or piece of wood. If you’re ready, we can begin. 

  1. Unplug the range or shut off the circuit breakers for the range. 
  2. Open the oven door completely and remove the screws from the bottom front lip of the glass cooktop frame. Carefully pull the cooktop assembly slightly forward to release the front lip of the glass cooktop frame from the front cabinet support bracket. Raise the front of the cooktop slightly to release the frame sides from the front support bracket then pull the cooktop forward to release the hinge tabs from the slots in the backguard. Lift the front edge of the glass cooktop and prop it open. Place the prop at the front of the range under the center of the cooktop’s front lip where it's steady, so the cooktop won't fall. Avoid damaging the oven cavity insulation when propping open the glass cooktop.
  3. To release a front surface element: Without disturbing the prop, carefully remove the screws from the front surface elements’ support bracket and lower the front elements and bracket onto the oven insulation. To release a rear surface element, first release the front surface elements as just described and then continue with these steps: Carefully remove the screws from the rear surface elements’ support bracket and lower the rear elements and bracket onto the oven insulation. Carefully remove the prop and lift the ceramic glass cooktop assembly up and off the range so you have room to replace the rear surface element.
  4. Mark the mounting holes on the support bracket so you can reinstall the mounting clips in the same holes when you install the new element. Using pliers, release the element’s mounting clips from the support bracket. Transfer the wires one at a time from the existing surface element to the new surface element. Transfer the surface element mounting clips from the existing surface element to the new surface element. Attach the new element to the mounting bracket.
  5. If you’re replacing a front surface element, attach the front surface elements’ support bracket and elements to the cooktop. If you’re replacing a rear surface element, place the cooktop on the top of the range and prop it up securely. Attach the rear surface elements’ support bracket and surface elements to the cooktop. Repeat the process to attach the front surface elements.
  6. Carefully remove the prop and lower the cooktop. Tuck the front lip of the cooktop frame under the front cabinet support bracket and lower the sides of the cooktop frame over the ends of the front support bracket. Push the cooktop back, inserting the hinge tabs into the backguard slots. Reinstall the mounting screws in the front lip of the cooktop frame. Close the oven door.
  7. Plug the range back into the electrical wall outlet or turn on the house circuit breakers for the range. If you pulled out the range to unplug it, push the range into position and ensure that the rear leveling foot properly engages with the anti-tip bracket so the range doesn’t fall forward when you open the oven door and pull out a loaded oven rack.

Fixed! Problem with the surface element is solved. All you need is to take some tests. If it works normally - you made everything right. Feel difficulties during replacing? Don’t hesitate to contact our customer support and arrange a meeting!
