Wolf stove
showing 03

Err 03 on an older Wolf dual-fuel stove means the control sees an open circuit on its RTD oven sensor, so it cannot tell how hot the oven is.

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Wolf's own guidance for 03 on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Shut the oven off and wait for it to cool.

02

Switch the breaker to the stove off for 30 seconds, then back on, and try a short bake.

03

If Err 03 or the nonstop fan returns, book a visit for the sensor and its connector.

What not to do

The fan that keeps running is a reaction to Err 03, not a separate fan problem. Replacing the fan will not stop it while the sensor still reads open.

Questions
about 03.

Can I clear 03 myself?
Shut the oven off and wait for it to cool. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Why does the fan on my Wolf stove keep running when the oven is off?
On older Wolf dual-fuel models, Wolf lists a nonstop cooling fan alongside Err 03. Without a sensor reading, the control keeps the fan going to protect the parts around the oven.
Is Err 03 on a Wolf stove the sensor itself or the wiring?
It can be either. The control only sees an open loop, which a burned sensor, a loose plug at the back of the oven or a damaged wire can all cause.
What is the difference between Err 03 and Err 04 on a Wolf stove?
Err 03 is an open circuit on the oven sensor and Err 04 is a short. Both stop the oven from reading temperature, but they point the technician at different problems in the same circuit.

Still showing 03?

Book with the code written exactly as the stove shows it, the full model number, and whether you notice any smell of gas or hot wiring — when there is a code, that is where the diagnosis starts.
