Quick answer
On this Wolf Legacy E Series Oven, code 07 x 16 is associated with left convection relay open. If it returns after one safe, non-invasive check or reset, the underlying condition still needs diagnosis.
Model compatibility: Wolf reuses codes across series and model years, so 07 x 16 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
left convection relay open
Signs
Symptoms you may notice
A specific bake, broil, convection, or warming function may be affected while other modes still operate.
Repeated operation can reproduce the same code if the monitored load or switching circuit remains faulty.
One heating mode or cavity may heat poorly, not heat at all, or stop shortly after starting.
Before you call
Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
Note which cavity, element, or mode fails to heat or triggers the code.
Do not access relays, elements, triacs, high-voltage wiring, or internal test points.
Stop the affected cooking mode and allow the appliance to cool.
Important safety warning. Safety first: stop using the appliance and disconnect power only if it can be done safely if you notice smoke, a burning smell, arcing, repeated breaker trips, abnormal heat, gas odor, or water near electrical parts. Internal electrical, gas, steam, and high-temperature diagnostics should be left to a qualified technician.
Please avoid
What not to attempt
Do not jumper relays, bypass thermal protection, energize exposed elements, or test live high-voltage circuits.

When to call a technician
If 07 x 16 returns after one safe reset, stop using the affected heating mode. A technician should verify the load, switching device, wiring, temperature protection, and control output before deciding what needs replacement.
Seeing this code on your Wolf appliance?
Book a specialist visit for a clear estimate and approval before any repair. Independent service — not an official Wolf service center.
Code 07 x 16 points toward left convection relay open. The fault may be caused by the named component itself or by related wiring, connectors, power, installation conditions, or another part of the same monitored system.
Not by itself. An error code identifies a system, circuit, state, or monitored condition. Wiring, connectors, power, installation conditions, sensors, loads, and controls can produce similar symptoms, so testing should come before parts replacement.
That depends on the symptom. Stop using the appliance immediately for smoke, a burning smell, repeated breaker trips, gas odor, abnormal heat, sparks, or water near electrical parts. Otherwise, avoid the affected mode until the recurring code has been diagnosed.
