What PF
actually means.
PF in the knob window of an older Wolf dual-fuel stove means the power went out, or the oven is too hot for the cooking mode you picked. It is a prompt to reset, not a broken part.

What to do when PF shows on the stoveKind of codeMode, not a failure
Something the stove was switched into, often by accident, rather than something that broke: a control lock pressed while wiping the panel, a Sabbath setting, a showroom demo mode that lights the display and heats nothing, a reminder that a spot on the stovetop is still hot. No part is worn out, and the stove's own keys put it right.
Usually leads toNo repair
Turn the oven selector bezel to a cooking mode and then back to OFF to clear PF.
Shows up asStove Display Blank or Flashing
The clock and display on the stove have gone dark, or they flash the time, a word or a string of characters and ignore the keys you press.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Wolf's own guidance for PF on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Turn the oven selector bezel to a cooking mode and then back to OFF to clear PF.
If the oven was just used at high heat, open the door for a few minutes so the cavity can cool.
If PF will not clear, switch the breaker off for 30 seconds and back on; book a visit if it still returns.
Cleared?
The stove is working again and no part was needed. If the same letters come back while a burner or the oven is on, or the stove switches itself off again in the middle of dinner, book it as a new problem.
What not to do
PF is not an error inside the oven control. Once the power is steady and the oven is cool enough for the mode, it should go away.
