A Wolf induction cooktop watches the glass and its own electronics and cuts power when either runs too hot. Here is what triggers it and when repeated shutoffs need a technician.
An induction cooktop is watching itself the whole time you cook. Sensors track the temperature of the cooking surface and of the electronics underneath. If either reading moves outside a safe range, the Wolf cooktop switches that zone off on its own. It can feel like a breakdown in the middle of dinner, but most of the time it is the cooktop doing exactly what it was designed to do.
The feature limits the chance of scorched cookware, damaged glass and overheated electronics. It also reduces the risk that comes with a forgotten pan. Letting the cooktop cool and then starting again is the right response to a single shutoff.
Pay attention to the pattern. One shutoff after a long, hot or unattended session is normal. Repeated shutoffs while you are standing at the cooktop cooking normally are not. Neither is a zone that will not come back on after the surface has fully cooled. Those patterns suggest a sensor or the electronics themselves need testing. Before you call, clear the space under the cooktop so air can move freely and see whether the behavior changes.
