At 36 inches, the CT36E/S is the widest radiant electric cooktop in Wolf’s legacy CT line, framed trim, with parts and codes that follow the older CT catalog rather than the current CE naming. Being the largest configuration, it also has the most individual elements of any CT electric cooktop, each with its own connection to the control.
With more elements to account for, a complaint affecting several at once rather than just one is worth flagging specifically, since it points toward the shared control rather than several coincidental individual element failures — the same logic that applies to Wolf’s current CE cooktops, just carried over onto this older platform.
Key Features
- 36-inch radiant electric cooktop from Wolf's legacy CT line
- Framed top, which is the trim difference the letter after the size records
- Predates the CG, CE and CI naming, so parts and error codes follow the older CT catalog
Most Common Issues on This Model
