# Wolf warming drawer error code 50

### What this one means

The drawer's door switch is reporting closed at a moment the control does not expect it to be, on a warming drawer, a shallow heated cavity on a slide that holds food at a set temperature for hours rather than cooking it. It is a code the manufacturer publishes for this appliance, not one we have worked out — and it is decoded here rather than left as three characters on a display.

### What the code covers

A published cause names a circuit rather than a component, which is the single most useful thing to know before ordering a part. This one covers:

- Something in the drawer's travel — a towel, a tray edge, a lid
- A runner that has shifted, so the drawer never quite seats
- The switch itself, or the wiring back to the control
- Door switch closed when touch pad is operating or unit is turning on

### Worth doing before you call

- Check the drawer closes fully and nothing is holding it open — the drawer will not run with the switch open
- Open the drawer fully and close it again firmly, with the runners clear
- Look along the front for anything the drawer is closing onto

### Then what

This is the commonest condition on the appliance and the one most often free to clear, which is why the checks come first. A drawer that still reports it with nothing in the way has a switch to replace, and that is a part at the front rather than a strip-down.

This code is published for built-in ovens & steam ovens. The [full list of codes](https://wolfmiami.support/error-codes/) has the rest of them, searchable, including the labels older and newer machines use for the same conditions.
