Wolf Dual Fuel Range DFxx50 Code 4222: Broil element load missing

What 4222 means

On Wolf DFxx50 dual fuel ranges from 2020 on, such as the DF30450/S/P and DF36450G/S/P, code 4222 means the broil element load is missing. The control powered the broil circuit and measured no load, so the element looks open or unplugged. You will see 4222, and broiling may not heat at all. This is different from 0521, which reports a short, not a missing load.

Common causes of 4222

Broil element burned open
Loose or scorched terminal on the broil element
Control output or relay that is not sending power to the broil element

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn the oven off and let it cool completely. 2. Look at the top of the oven for a broken or blistered element, without touching it. 3. Power-cycle the range through its breaker, with a one-minute wait. 4. If 4222 returns, leave broil unused and call us.

! Why to stop there

We separate a dead element from a wiring or board cause by testing.
Terminals in the oven top are not a place for do-it-yourself checks.
Written price first, plus a 30-day workmanship warranty.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

42224222 questions

How is 4222 different from 0521?

Code 0521 means the broil element circuit is shorted. Code 4222 means no load is detected on broil, as if the element were open. Both stop broiling, but the checks differ.

Does the oven still bake?

Often it does, because bake uses another element. Try a bake cycle for dinner, and book a visit if broil is important to you. We explain what we find in plain words, so there is no surprise charge afterward.

Do I need a new broil element?

Possibly, but not always. A loose terminal or a relay can cause the same reading. We test before quoting, so you only pay for what is needed.
