On Wolf's legacy IR induction ranges, 03 means the touch control senses a key held down without a break. Wolf's own causes are liquid on the control glass or a pan resting on the control area. Wolf range display What to do when 03 shows on the range ### Kind of code Controls and communication The display, the main board or the induction power board lost contact with one another, or one of them failed its own self-check. A power dip, a loose cable or moisture from a boil-over is ruled out before a board is replaced, and a range that keeps heating while this code shows is switched off at the breaker. ### Usually leads to Knobs, switches and controls Knobs that spin or crack, touch keys that do nothing, blank displays, clocks that reset and control boards that switch the wrong thing. ### Shows up as Range Control Panel Not Responding The touch keys or knobs on the range do nothing, only some keys work, the display is blank or frozen, or it beeps without starting. ### Make Wolf The cooking brand of the Wisconsin-based Sub-Zero Group, known for red-knobbed gas, dual-fuel and induction ranges. ### Source Wolf answer: legacy induction range (IR), error code 03 Wolf legacy induction ranges (IR series). ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from Wolf's own guidance for 03 on its ranges. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Lift any pan off the control area and wipe the glass over the controls dry. 02 If 03 remains with the glass clean and clear, book a visit. ### Still there? It usually turns into [knobs, switches and controls](https://rangerepair.center/services/knobs-switches-and-controls/). Book with the code and the model number. ### What not to do This 03 has nothing to do with the RTD sensor code 03 on Wolf's legacy dual-fuel ranges; the two lines number their codes separately. ## What you may notice with it.

Lift any pan off the control area and wipe the glass over the controls dry. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Can a boil-over make my Wolf induction range show 03? Yes. Liquid on the control glass is one of the two causes Wolf gives, because the touch keys read it as a finger that never lifts. Wipe the area dry and the code usually clears. ### My Wolf induction range shows 03 with nothing on the glass. What next? If the control area is clean, dry and clear of pans and 03 stays, the touch control itself needs checking. Wolf offers no further home step, so book a visit. --- **[Read on the site: Wolf legacy induction range showing 03 | RangeRepair.center](https://rangerepair.center/error-codes/wolf-ir-03/)** **[Book a visit with RangeRepair.center](https://rangerepair.center/schedule/)**
