What 0B31
actually means.
The cooling fan moves air around the electronics and the oven body. 0B31 means the triac, the electronic switch that controls the upper cooling fan, reads as shorted, so the control has lost normal command of that fan. Wolf lists 0B20 as a form of the same code.

What to do when 0B31 shows on the ovenKind of codeFans
The convection fan in the back wall, or the cooling fan that keeps the controls from overheating, did not turn at the speed the control expected. Grease on the blade or a loose connector comes first; a worn motor, and on the cooling side a blown thermal fuse, come next.

A convection setting that bakes like a still oven, rattles or squeals, traced to the fan blade, its motor or the ring element behind it.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Wolf's own guidance for 0B31 on its ovens. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Turn the breaker off for about 30 seconds and back on, then run the oven and listen for the cooling fan.
If 0B31 or 0B20 comes back, book a visit and avoid long high-heat sessions until then.

What not to do
0B31 is not about the convection fan inside the cavity that spreads heat over the food; it concerns the cooling fan that protects the controls.
