Wolf Cooktop Error Code IR

IR on a Wolf cooktop indicates that the Remote Control feature for compatible Black Hood ventilation systems has been activated or deactivated. It is a status notification, not a fault code. The cooktop is confirming a change in the communication setting between the cooktop and the hood. No repair is required when this indicator appears as part of a normal setting change.

Yes, the IR indicator does not indicate a safety issue or a malfunction. The cooktop remains fully operational when this notification is displayed. It simply reflects the current state of the remote hood control setting and does not affect the cooktop's heating or ignition functions.

A power cycle or reset may clear the IR indicator from the display temporarily, but the underlying remote control setting will remain in whatever state it was last configured. To permanently change the setting, the remote control feature must be toggled through the cooktop's control panel using the appropriate sequence for your model.

Since IR is a status notification rather than an error, no repair is typically needed. If the remote control setting is not in the desired state, use the cooktop's control interface to toggle the feature back to your preferred configuration. Consult the cooktop's operating guide for the specific button sequence used to enable or disable the Black Hood remote control function.

Because IR is a status indicator and not a component failure code, there is typically no repair cost associated with it. If a technician visit is needed to reconfigure the remote control setting or diagnose an unexpected behavior related to the Black Hood communication, service call fees generally range from $80 to $150 depending on the region and service provider.
