Laid out with six open burners alongside an infrared griddle across a 48-inch top, the GR486G is an all-gas range. Its cooktop ignition runs through a spark module feeding an electrode at each burner, and each burner valve carries its own micro-switch that tells the module when to spark.
The GR486G’s most common call is a surface burner that sparks constantly even after lighting. On this platform that is almost always the micro-switch at the valve or a chafed electrode wire shorting to the chassis, not the burner head. The infrared griddle is a separate heated surface with its own burner and control, and a cold spot on it is a griddle-side diagnosis rather than a cooktop one.
Wolf numbers are descriptive rather than arbitrary, and this one decodes cleanly: GR for Gas Range, 48 for the cabinet width in inches, 6 for the six open burners and G for the infrared griddle.
Key Features
- 48-inch all-gas range: six open burners alongside an infrared griddle, with a gas oven below
- Spark module and per-burner electrodes for surface ignition
- Gas oven burner regulated by an oven thermostat rather than an electronic sensor
- Separate griddle assembly with its own burner and control
Most Common Issues on This Model
Surface burner will not light, or keeps sparking after it has lit
Gas oven bakes consistently above or below the set temperature
Oven burner will not ignite at all
Persistent gas smell near the range — a safety call, not a routine repair
Griddle will not heat, or heats unevenly across its surface
