What U400
actually means.
U400 on a Wolf CE electric cooktop means over voltage: the supply reaching the cooktop is higher than it should be. The cause is usually in the wiring or the supply, not inside the cooktop.

What to do when U400 shows on the cooktopKind of codeBoards and communication
The touch board and the power board under the glass lost track of each other, or one failed its own start-up check. A power dip, a ribbon or harness pulled loose when the top was fitted, or moisture from a boil-over is ruled out before a board is replaced, and a cooktop that keeps heating while this code shows is switched 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 Tripping Breaker
The circuit breaker for the cooktop trips as a burner or zone switches on, at one particular setting, or a few minutes into cooking.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Wolf's own guidance for U400 on its cooktops. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Switch the cooktop off at its breaker and leave it off.
Have the circuit and the cooktop connection checked; after that, a 30-second breaker reset is Wolf's only home step.
Book a visit if U400 shows again with a confirmed supply.
What not to do
U400 is not a sign of a failed element or keypad. It reports the power coming in.
