# Wolf warming drawer will not turn on

### The fastest diagnosis is the code

Open the drawer fully and close it again, firmly, with nothing in the way of the runners. Error 50 is the door switch reporting closed when the panel is being used or the unit is starting, and a drawer resting on a dish towel produces it perfectly.

### The switch before the board

A warming drawer will not run with its door switch unhappy, and the switch is at the front where towels, tray edges and a runner a hair out of line all reach it. That is why the first thing on this page is free, and why we would rather you tried it than booked us to try it for you.

The door switch, or what is holding the drawer

Error 50. Something in the travel, a runner that has shifted, or the switch itself. The first two are free to check.

Stored settings that did not check out

Error 10 is an invalid checksum — the control read its own configuration and did not recognize it, usually after a power event.

A recorded power failure

PF. Press the power key to reset, or reset the drawer at the breaker.

No supply at all

A drawer under a wall oven often shares a breaker with it. If the oven above is also dead, this is not a drawer problem.

Close it properly

Fully out, then fully in. Look for a towel, a lid or a tray edge in the way.

Check the appliance above

If the oven in the same stack is dead too, it is the supply.

Breaker off thirty seconds

A 10 will sometimes clear on a restart with defaults reloaded.

Write the number down

Ten and fifty are different jobs and different parts.

Usually the drawer, not the drawer heater

What it usually means

No response from the power key

A 10 or a 50 on the display

PF showing after a storm
