The R484DC is a 48-inch all-gas Wolf range carrying four open burners alongside a double infrared charbroiler. Both halves of it burn gas: sealed surface burners lit by a spark module and electrodes on top, and a thermostatically controlled gas oven burner underneath, which is the single biggest difference between this range and a Dual Fuel model of the same width.
Ignition faults across the R484DC’s burners are diagnosed one burner at a time, because the spark module fires all of them together — so a module problem shows up everywhere at once, while a single stubborn burner is local to that burner. The double charbroiler runs two infrared broiler sections side by side, each with its own burner, which is why one half can fail while the other keeps working.
Wolf numbers are descriptive rather than arbitrary, and this one decodes cleanly: R for the original professional gas range line, 48 for the cabinet width in inches, 4 for the four open burners and DC for the double infrared charbroiler. That convention has barely changed since: Wolf still spells the same charbroiler, griddle and French top options the same way on its current ranges and rangetops.
Key Features
- 48-inch all-gas range: four open burners alongside a double infrared charbroiler, 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 double charbroiler 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
Double charbroiler will not heat, or heats unevenly across its surface
