Six open burners and an infrared charbroiler share the 48-inch RT486C, from Wolf’s original R/RT generation, all on one raised control panel with individual spark modules and valve micro-switches at each burner, and no oven cavity beneath it.
With six open burners on this model, describing exactly which one is acting up — front-left, back-right, whichever position — speeds up the visit considerably, since each burner has its own electrode and micro-switch that can wear independently of the others. The charbroiler, by contrast, runs on separate dedicated hardware and rarely shares a cause with an open-burner complaint.
