What to do when E115 shows on the oven

### Kind of code Door and lock

The motorized lock did not reach the position the control asked for, or its switch reported the wrong one. Most often this shows during or after self-clean; the latch, its switches and the door's alignment are checked before the lock motor is replaced.

### Usually leads to Door lock and self-clean repair

A door that stays locked after self-clean, a cycle that will not start or stops early, traced to the lock motor, its switches or the cleaning heat.

### Shows up as Oven Door Won't Unlock

The door stays latched after a self-clean or a steam clean, or it locked during normal baking and will not release.

### Make Wolf

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Wolf's own guidance for E115 on its ovens. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Turn the breaker off for about 30 seconds and back on, then retest the oven.

02

If E115 or F29 comes back, book a visit rather than working the door by force.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [door lock and self-clean repair](https://ovenrepair.center/services/door-lock-and-self-clean-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

E115 is not a warning that the door is ajar. A door that is simply open or not fully shut does not produce this code.

## What you may notice with it.

## Questions about E115.

### Can I clear E115 myself?

Turn the breaker off for about 30 seconds and back on, then retest the oven. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### My Wolf steam oven shows F29 instead of E115. Which one do I look up?

Both, because Wolf lists them together: E115 is the code and F29 the message that goes with it. The first step for either is a 30-second breaker reset.

### Does E115 on my Wolf steam oven mean the door is broken?

Not necessarily. E115 says the lock did not initialize at start-up, which a reset can sometimes clear. If it keeps coming back, the lock and its wiring need a look during a visit.
