Eight open burners and no accessory section make up the RT488, the largest all-burner configuration in Wolf’s original R/RT rangetop generation — a straightforward 48-inch counter-mounted unit, raised control panel, individual spark module and valve micro-switch at each burner, no oven beneath it.
With eight identical burners on one unit, a problem that shows up on two or three at once, rather than just one, is worth mentioning specifically — it can point toward something shared, like the gas supply pressure reaching the rangetop, rather than eight coincidental individual failures. A single burner acting up on its own is the far more common pattern, though, and usually stays a one-burner repair.
