Cooking is a pleasant activity until it doesn’t take too much time. Surely, you’ll be bored waiting when your Wolf range heats up if it has a weak igniter. To determine that it's not a more serious gas line problem, you can test one of the burners on the gas stovetop to see if it's receiving gas and igniting. When you set a temperature on a gas oven, you should hear a few faint clicks followed by the typical whoosh sound of the gas igniting. If you do not hear the gas ignite and the clicking stops, turn the oven off and consider replacing the igniter. This process varies by oven model, but it typically only requires disconnecting the range from power, removing a handful of screws, disconnecting a quick release wiring connection, connecting the new igniter and tightening everything back down. You can replace the faulty igniter yourself. The ignitor will be located at the back of the oven compartment. Remove the ignitor by unbolting it from the oven floor. Use your multimeter to detect continuity of power. Take one probe and place it on one terminal, then place the other probe on the second terminal. Your multimeter should register between 0-1100 ohms. If your multimeter does not register in this range, then your ignitor has lost continuity and needs to be replaced. You could have a bad gas safety valve also, so include that in your check also. Be aware of doing replacement personally if you have no necessary tools or skills!
