No heat, whatever mode it was set to. On the first visit, March 13, we found the fault in the electronics: the oven’s control was not sending voltage out to the heating elements, so the elements never got power. We quoted the repair and ordered the parts. They went in on March 17, with the oven slid out of its cabinet.

The photos from that day show heat damage. One relay on the oven’s power relay board (Wolf part 805073B) sits in a patch of brown discoloration, and the bare metal panel inside the chassis carries a black scorch mark. The household had called us once before, for a dishwasher; the review further down is theirs.

No. This all-gas 48-inch range had faults in two separate places. In the small left oven, the thermostat and the hot-surface igniter. On the charbroiler, the infrared burner and its spark electrode. Our quote listed all four parts with the labor, and it said plainly that we would revise it for the oven alone if the customer preferred.

The customer chose to do both. We diagnosed it in mid-October and fitted the four parts on October 25. In the photo from the diagnosis visit, the infrared burner is lit but glows across only part of its mesh.

Not with a broken valve. The booking said one knob was stuck in the on position. With the knob off, our technician found the burner valve behind it broken. He turned off the main gas valve to the rangetop so there was no risk of a leak, and told the household the rangetop could not be used until that valve was replaced.

We quoted a new valve. That visit was settled at the diagnostic fee and the valve itself was never booked with us, so our record of this one ends there: gas off, price given.

The booking described an oven that made noise and took a long time to start heating. The bake igniter was failing to light the burner, which is what held the heat back. We fitted a new bake igniter, and the oven lit and heated normally again. It was booked on February 2 and finished on February 3.

Here the oven would not heat at all. Again the oven burner’s igniter had failed, and we replaced it during that first call. Our technician also spotted minor damage on the bake burner itself, close to the igniter, that could affect how the oven performs. He wrote it down and recommended a new burner. It was not replaced on that bill.

In these two kitchens, yes: the igniter was the part that had failed. In the second, the next part worth watching was written into the notes for the customer to decide on, not added to the bill.

Then you pay the diagnostic and nothing else. The booking just said “Wolf oven.” Our technician tested the oven thoroughly and it worked as intended; no fault showed up during the visit. Nothing was replaced, and the bill was $85.

The note does say where to look first should the fault return: the spark module and the thermostat for the right-hand oven.

Two, on this range. The first visit, May 31, was the diagnosis and the quote: a replacement solenoid and electronic module, plus related valve parts as needed. We came back on June 3, installed them, and checked ignition and gas-valve operation before closing the job.

That pattern holds across this page. Both igniter jobs were finished on the first visit or the day after booking. The repairs that needed electronics or several parts took a second trip, once the parts were in.
