Wolf Legacy Dual Fuel Code OVER TEMP: Oven overtemperature limit

What OVER TEMP means

On legacy Wolf dual fuel ranges with text error messages, such as the DF series, OVER TEMP means the oven passed its safety temperature limit: 630 degrees F in unlocked mode or 930 degrees F when locked, as in self-clean. The control shuts heating off to protect the range. Owners see OVER TEMP and the oven stops heating until it cools down.

Common causes of OVER TEMP

Oven temperature that rose beyond the safety limit
Oven sensor that misreads the real cavity temperature
Control or relay that keeps heat on longer than it should

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn the oven off and keep the door closed. 2. Let it cool completely, which can take a couple of hours. 3. Reset the range at its breaker by leaving it off for two minutes. 4. If any burning smell or smoke is present, stay clear and call us. If OVER TEMP returns, do not use the oven.

! Why to stop there

Overtemperature is a safety limit, not an annoyance
A bad sensor can hide the real cause
Heat control parts need testing, not guesswork
We quote in writing first and back repairs with 30 days of 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.

OVER TEMPOVER TEMP questions

What are the two temperature limits?

The oven trips at 630 degrees F in normal unlocked operation and 930 degrees F while locked for self-clean. Passing either one makes the control stop the heat.

Did self-clean cause OVER TEMP?

It can. Self-clean runs near the locked limit, so a sensor error or heavy buildup may push it over. We check the sensor and controls before the next self-clean.

Should I be worried?

Take it seriously. The shutoff is working as designed, but we want to know why the oven got that hot. Keep the oven off until it is checked.
