What to do when 3 shows on the cooktopKind of codeTouch controls and keys
A key on the glass was held down too long, pressed with nothing there, or stopped answering altogether. Water, a spill or a pan resting on the key strip is ruled out first, then the touch board and its ribbon cable. If a zone keeps heating while the keys are dead, switch the cooktop off at the breaker.
Usually leads toTouch control repair
Glass touch keys and sliders that ignore a finger, start zones by themselves or stay locked, traced to the keys, the control board or the lock setting.
Shows up asCooktop Controls Unresponsive
Touch keys or a slider do nothing, the display lights but ignores every press, or a knob turns without starting its burner or element.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Wolf's own guidance for 3 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Lift any pan, lid or utensil off the control area and wipe the glass there clean and dry.
Switch the cooktop breaker off for 30 seconds, turn it back on and try the controls again.
If the tone and 03 come back with the control area clear, book a visit.
What not to do
03 is not a report about the induction coils or the pan on a cooking zone. It concerns only the strip of glass over the keys.
