Wolf cooktops & rangetops
Three different appliances behind one word. A gas cooktop is burners and igniters; an induction cooktop is a power supply under glass with a generator per zone; a sealed burner rangetop is a range's burner deck with no oven under it. What goes wrong, and who can reach it, differs completely between them.

What we do on it
Repairs we carry out on Wolf cooktops & rangetops
Starting figures for this equipment in South Florida. The exact cost is confirmed after an on-site diagnostic — and this is not the whole list of what can go wrong, so call if your problem is not here.
-
from $95 Diagnostic visit
Somebody who works on this equipment every week, in front of your appliance, telling you what is wrong and what it costs to put right. Credited against the repair if you go ahead.
- Codes read out of the control, not guessed at
- A written figure before any work starts
- Credited to the repair when you go ahead
-
from $165 Gas burner & igniter repair
A burner that clicks and never lights, lights and goes out, or burns yellow and sooty. On sealed burners this is a short list of causes and a real share of them cost the visit and nothing else.
- Cap seating checked before any part is named
- Igniter replaced per burner, not per cooktop
- Flame color and port blockage looked at properly
-
from $245 Sealed burner rangetop repair
A rangetop is a range's burner deck with cabinetry underneath instead of an oven. Heavier equipment than a cooktop, a different parts list from both, and the one people most often describe as something else on the phone.
- Rangetop, cooktop or range established first
- Burners, igniters and the front control panel
- Counter and surround protected while it is out
-
from $225 Griddle & charbroiler repair
The plate or the grate down the middle of a wide range deck. Each has its own burner and its own thermostat, which is why it can be stone cold while every burner around it works perfectly.
- Its own burner and thermostat, tested separately
- Uneven heating across the plate diagnosed properly
- Grease and port blockage cleared before parts
-
from $260 Cooktop & induction repair
Most induction call-outs end with an appliance that was working correctly the whole time. This job starts by establishing that, because it costs nothing and it is the honest place to begin.
- Pan and placement ruled out first
- Zone shutdowns traced to what is under the counter
- Generator modules named rather than "the cooktop"
-
from $395 Cooktop glass replacement
A chipped, cracked or shattered surface. This one is glass rather than electronics: it is replaced rather than repaired, and the appliance should be off at the breaker until the new one is in.
- Breaker off from the moment it cracks
- Glass ordered to the model, not to the size
- Controls and generators checked underneath
-
from $255 Counter module repair
The built-in fryer, the steamer, the burner and multifunction modules set into the worktop. Equipment most kitchens do not have and most repair companies do not mention — and it publishes its own error codes.
- Fryer, steamer, burner and multifunction modules
- Level, temperature and drain sensing tested
- Codes decoded rather than guessed at
-
from $365 Control board replacement
The board that switches the loads, the control head behind the fascia, or the network between them. On the current generation the code says which of the three, and that is worth a great deal.
- The code names the board before anything is ordered
- Damp and supply ruled out first — both look identical
- Configuration restored so it is your appliance afterwards
-
from $135 Knob & control panel repair
A cracked red knob, a shaft that spins without doing anything, or a touch panel that answers when nobody is touching it. The cheapest visit on the site and often the most visible repair.
- Knobs ordered by model — shafts and graphics differ
- Touch panels dried and recalibrated before parts
- Selector switches tested rather than assumed
-
from $155 Cooking equipment maintenance
A scheduled visit for equipment that is working. Burners and igniters, door seals, hood filters and damper, steam oven descaling, fans and vents — the things that are cheap now and expensive later.
- Descaling before a boiler needs replacing
- Seals and hinges set before a door drops
- Fans, vents and clearances actually checked
-
from $225 Appliance installation
Fitting professional cooking equipment into a finished kitchen. Most of what goes wrong with this equipment in its first year is decided on installation day, and most of it is clearance, gas and ventilation.
- Cutout, clearance and ventilation checked first
- Gas and orifices correct for the fuel supplied
- Levelled, anti-tip fitted, and handed over properly

About Wolf cooktops & rangetops
Gas, electric, induction and a rangetop — four things, one word
Most of what we are called out for on this equipment is the appliance protecting itself, and it is usually right to. Knowing which of the four you have decides whether the conversation is about igniters, elements or electronics.
What actually goes wrong
- A zone shutting down part-way through a cook. The generator under it has overheated. Look at what is running below the counter before anything else.
- A pan the surface cannot find. Induction reads the base, not the position. Two pans and two zones settle it in a minute.
- Controls that lock or act by themselves. Water on a capacitive panel, almost always. Dry it completely and cut power for thirty seconds.
- A gas burner that will not light or burns yellow. Cap seating first, then the igniter, then the burner port itself.
- Cracked glass. That one is not electronics: the surface is replaced rather than repaired, and the appliance should be off at the breaker until it is.
The counter modules
This brand also builds equipment into the worktop that most kitchens do not have — a built-in fryer, a steamer, burner and multifunction modules. They publish their own error codes and we repair them; if the thing that has stopped is a fryer set into the counter rather than a cooktop, say so when you call and we will bring the right parts.
What to have ready
Whether it is gas, electric or induction, the width, and whether there is an oven under it. A photograph of the surface answers all three at once.

Questions about wolf cooktops & rangetops
What is the difference between a rangetop and a cooktop?
A rangetop is the burner deck off a range, dropped into the counter with cabinetry underneath instead of an oven. It is heavier equipment than a cooktop — the same sealed burners, the same grates — and it is a different parts list. If yours has cast grates edge to edge and a control panel on the front face rather than knobs in the surface, it is a rangetop.
A zone keeps switching itself off after ten minutes.
The generator under that zone has got too hot and stopped to protect itself. The first question is what is running underneath — an oven below an induction top is a Miami kitchen classic and both appliances are behaving. If the ventilation gap is clear and nothing is on below it, the zone's own cooling is next.
The cooktop will not see my pan any more.
Induction needs a base a magnet sticks to, flat and wide enough to be found. A warped base or a heavy copper pan is ignored by a cooktop that is working perfectly. Try the same pan on a different zone and a different pan on the same zone — between those two, the answer is usually plain before anybody visits.
The controls have locked and nothing responds.
Dry the whole panel first. A film of water reads to a touch surface as a hundred fingers at once, and drying it is a real fix rather than a workaround. If it is dry and still dead, cutting power at the breaker for thirty seconds clears a control that has hung.
