Wolf Oven 1122 Error: Lower Right Conv Relay Open
What Does Wolf Oven Fault Code 1122 Mean? The 1122 fault code on a Wolf M Series wall oven is a lower right convection element relay open fault. On double-oven M Series models, each convection element has its own dedicated relay on its respective cavity’s relay board. The 1122 code identifies the lower right convection […]
Quick Assessment
Answer to continue safely
Is it safe to keep using?
Yes. The 1122 fault creates no safety hazard — it simply disables one lower convection element. Upper cavity and lower radiant bake remain usable. Schedule service when convenient.
Can I reset the code?
Yes. Transient relay glitches clear on breaker reset. Persistent 1122 after reset indicates a hardware failure.
When to stop immediately?
Stop if you notice: 1122 returns on every lower convection attempt, Visible damage or burn marks on the lower convection element.
Symptoms You May Notice
Lower cavity convection produces uneven browning
With one convection element not firing on the lower cavity, baked goods brown more on one side than the other — a visible sign even on a single cake or tray of cookies.
Lower cavity convection cycles take longer than normal
The remaining convection elements work harder to compensate and overall cook time extends noticeably.
Upper cavity and lower radiant bake work normally
The failure is isolated to the lower right convection element — all other cooking modes continue to function.
Possible Causes
Lower right convection relay mechanical failure
Relay contacts or coil have failed at end of service life.
Requires ProfessionalOpen lower right convection element
The element itself has failed open from thermal stress or age.
Requires ProfessionalLower relay board driver failure
The driver transistor controlling this relay coil has failed on the lower relay board.
Requires ProfessionalSafe Checks You Can Do
-
1
Reset power at the breaker
Switch off the dedicated wall oven breaker for 60 seconds, then restore power and run a short lower-cavity convection test at 350°F.
On double ovens, this reset affects both cavities — plan around it if a cooking cycle is in progress.
-
2
Switch to radiant bake on the lower cavity
Until service arrives, use radiant bake instead of convection on the lower cavity. The upper cavity remains fully functional in all modes.
Radiant bake has a different element path and is completely unaffected by 1122.
When to Call a Professional
Contact a qualified technician if:
- Oven is 8+ years old with heavy lower-cavity use
- Uneven browning seen over multiple cook cycles
- First 1122 fault on an otherwise healthy oven
