# Wolf oven dead after a power cut

### The fastest diagnosis is the code

Reset the breaker properly — fully off, pause, fully on. A double-pole breaker can drop one leg and still look set, which leaves a display that lights up and an oven that will not heat.

### The appliance as a witness

Very few makes publish this much about the electricity they are given. This one names over-voltage with a threshold, under-voltage with a range, a neutral broken in the house wiring, a missing zero-cross reference, and two legs that turn out to be the same leg. That is not a complaint — it is a measurement, and it is often the fastest way to find out that the problem is not the oven at all.

### What we will and will not do

If the appliance took the damage we repair the appliance. If the supply is the problem we say so and hand you a clear description to give an electrician, because a board fitted into a bad supply is a board that fails twice.

One leg of the supply missing

These draw across two legs. Losing one gives you a live panel and a cold oven, and it looks like a dead appliance until it is measured.

A broken neutral in the house wiring

Published here as its own condition, more than once. It is an electrician's job rather than ours, and we will tell you so rather than sell you a board.

Over-voltage or under-voltage

Separate published conditions with actual thresholds. A supply that ran high during a storm is a real event and the appliance recorded it.

A control that did not come back cleanly

Stored settings corrupted by the interruption. Sometimes reloadable, sometimes a board.

A relay or board that took the surge

The genuine casualty version, and the reason a surge protector on a fitted kitchen is not an eccentric idea here.

Breaker fully off and fully on

Not a glance at it. A tripped double-pole breaker often does not look tripped.

What else in the house is odd

Lights dimming, other appliances behaving strangely — that pattern points at the supply rather than at the oven.

Photograph any code

The voltage conditions on this brand are specific and they tell an electrician exactly where to start.

Check a second appliance on the same circuit

Two appliances misbehaving together is a different diagnosis from one.

Sometimes the house rather than the oven

What it usually means

Dead since an outage or a surge

Working, but complaining about voltage

A neutral or leg condition on the display

The fastest diagnosis is the code

Reset the breaker properly — fully off, pause, fully on. A double-pole breaker can drop one leg and still look set, which leaves a display that lights up and an oven that will not heat.
