Wolf · Boston, Massachusetts
City installations put Wolf ranges into kitchens with tight capture area above them, which is why the most common Boston complaint about a Wolf is not the range at all but the hood over it failing to clear smoke it was never sized to catch.
The brand, in general
A Wolf burner that sparks and never catches is rarely the igniter itself. The order that resolves it fastest is gas, then spark, then the wet or fouled cap that is shorting the spark to the wrong place. On the oven side, self-clean is where most calls originate: the cycle runs, the latch drives home, and either the thermal fuse opens or the latch switch never reports back, leaving a locked door hours after the kitchen has cooled. That is a repair, not a replacement, and it is worth saying so plainly.
Boston kitchens
Back Bay and South End kitchens are frequently below grade or on an upper floor with no service lift, and both facts change how a built-in comes out. We work out access before the appointment rather than on the doorstep.

Condensation on the outside of the door all through July in a basement bar. He checked the seal, found it deformed where the unit sits against a cabinet stile, and fitted a new one. Small fault, but it had been bothering us for a year.

Water was pooling on the cavity floor at the end of every cycle. Boiler seal had gone. He had the part with him, which I did not expect for something this uncommon, and it was done in the one visit.

The fresh food half kept creeping up to the mid forties overnight while the freezer sat perfect. He explained there are two separate cooling systems in there and only one had failed. Evaporator fan and defrost heater. Half the repair I was braced for.
