What COOL FAN
actually means.
COOL FAN appears when the apparency switch, a small switch that confirms the cooling fan is actually moving air, reports that the fan is not working. Wolf lists two causes: the fan itself, or the switch that watches it.

What to do when COOL FAN shows on the rangeKind of codeFans
The convection fan behind the oven's back wall, or the cooling fan that keeps heat away from the controls, did not spin as fast as the control expected. Grease on the blade and a loose plug are checked first; a tired motor, and on the cooling side a thermal fuse, come after.
Usually leads toConvection fan repair
A convection oven on a range that bakes unevenly, rattles, squeals or never starts its fan, traced to the motor, the blade or the convection element.
Shows up asRange Oven Not Heating
The burners or elements on top work, but the oven below stays cold, heats only a little, or never finishes preheating.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Wolf's own guidance for COOL FAN on its ranges. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Turn the breaker off for about 30 seconds, then back on, and run the oven again.
If COOL FAN returns, stop using the oven, since the cooling fan protects the controls from oven heat, and book a visit.
What not to do
COOL FAN is not about the convection fan that moves air around the food; it concerns the fan that cools the range's electronics.

Fans on other makes
Gas range
Open flames on top and a gas-fired oven below, all fed by one supply line behind the range and lit by igniters rather than a match.
Dual-fuel range
Gas burners on top and an electric oven below, the combination most professional-style ranges use, needing both a gas line and a 240-volt circuit.
Induction range
A glass top that heats the pan itself through copper coils and power boards, over an electric oven, with electronics doing almost all the work.
