# Wolf CT induction cooktop showing E44

Each Wolf induction zone has a sensor that watches its temperature.

## What E44 actually means.

Each Wolf induction zone has a sensor that watches its temperature. E44 says one of those sensors reads open, and Wolf notes that the affected burner is shut down.

Wolf cooktop display

What to do when E44 shows on the cooktop

### Kind of code Temperature and overheat sensors

A sensor under the glass or on a board reported a reading the control rejected, or heat climbing past the safe limit — often after an empty pan was left on a zone. The zone is allowed to cool and a loose sensor plug is ruled out before the sensor, the coil assembly or the board is blamed. A top that keeps getting hotter is switched off at the breaker first.

### Usually leads to Induction board and coil repair

Induction zones that stop sensing pans, cut out, buzz or show codes, traced to the power boards, the coils, their sensors and the links to the controls.

### Shows up as Cooktop Element Not Heating

A coil stays black, a radiant ring under the glass never glows, or a zone warms so weakly that a pot of water will not boil.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Wolf's own guidance for E44 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Reset the cooktop at the breaker.

02

Turn the power back on, switch on a burner and see whether E44 comes back.

03

If it does, book a visit.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [induction board and coil repair](https://cooktoprepair.center/services/induction-board-and-coil-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

E44 is not a sign that the pan is wrong or that the glass is cracked. It is a sensor circuit reading.

## What you may notice with it.

The cooktop problems E44 tends to arrive with. Answer these at the cooktop before anyone is booked.

## Questions about E44.

### Can I clear E44 myself?

Reset the cooktop at the breaker. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Why did one Wolf induction burner stop working with E44?

The cooktop shuts off a burner whose temperature sensor reads open, because it can no longer tell how hot that zone is. The others can keep running.

### Is it safe to use my Wolf cooktop with E44 showing?

The cooktop has already switched the affected burner off. Use the other zones sparingly and book a visit so the sensor or its connection can be checked.

### Which burner does E44 shut down on a Wolf CT induction cooktop?

E44 shuts down the burner whose sensor reads open, and Wolf's detailed listing names the burner position, such as RL. Tell the technician which zone went dark, since that points to the sensor to test.
