At 36 inches, the CE365C/B is Wolf’s widest radiant electric cooktop, five elements beneath ceramic glass in Contemporary trim, with controls printed into the black glass surface. Any flat-bottomed pan works on it, magnetic base or not, unlike the CT and CI induction lines Wolf also sells.
With five elements spread across this width, a technician benefits from knowing which specific element position is affected and whether it is weak, dead, or stuck on continuously — three different complaints pointing at three different parts, even though they can look similar from across the kitchen. The glass surface itself, cracked or chipped, is assessed separately from whatever the elements underneath are doing.
