# Wolf built-in oven error code: probe shorted

### What this one means

A switching device is passing current when the control has told it to stop, on a built-in oven, where every part named here sits behind trim that is screwed into the cabinetry rather than behind a panel that slides out. This is a code without a number: the panel spells it out in words rather than digits, which is how the older controls on this make report a handful of conditions. What it means comes from the manufacturer’s own documentation rather than from us.

### How it shows on the display

There is no number to write down here, so this is what the panel actually shows:

- **PROBE SHORTED**

### What sets it off

An alarm is deliberately broad — it tells you the cabinet noticed something, not which part is responsible. This one comes on for:

- A relay welded closed by years of switching a heavy load
- A triac that has failed short
- The element circuit that relay or triac feeds
- Temperature probe failure

### Worth doing before you call

- Note which cavity it is on a double oven — the code says upper or lower and that is half the diagnosis
- Switch the appliance off at the breaker if it is heating with nothing selected

### Then what

A stuck relay is the one error in this archive that can heat with nothing asked of it, so it is a breaker-off condition rather than a wait-and-see one. The board carrying it is a replacement part.

This one appears on 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.
