What 1620 Means

The auxiliary double line break relay reading open when the control expected it closed. Wolf's M Series Troubleshooting Manual lists 1620 at priority 2. Because the auxiliary bank feeds the oven's secondary loads, an open auxiliary DLB typically takes out several smaller functions at once rather than the main heating.

Common Causes of 1620

  • Auxiliary DLB relay contacts no longer closing
  • A driver problem on the relay board leaving the auxiliary bank uncommanded
  • A connection problem in the auxiliary bank wiring

🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try

Make a list of what has actually stopped working - lights, fans, lock - and what still works. A group of secondary functions failing together is the signature of a bank-level problem rather than a single part.

⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That

  • The auxiliary bank is part of the oven's line-voltage disconnect arrangement, which is not a circuit to open up at home.
  • Several secondary loads failing together looks like several problems, and replacing them one by one is a slow and costly path to a single relay.
  • The relay board carries the heating circuits as well, so board-level access belongs with a technician.

Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

FAQ

1620 FAQ

On this platform it is often one. A bank-level relay going open takes everything downstream of it with it, which is exactly what 1620 describes.

It may well, since the main bake and broil banks are separate - but an oven with an open disconnect on any bank is worth diagnosing rather than working around.
