What does Unox WF37 mean?
WF37 is a warning for lack of water or a fault in valve EL1 or EG1/EG2, closely related to WF36. The oven is not receiving the water it expects through these valves. As a warning it continues with limited water-dependent function while flagging the supply or valve problem.
Symptoms
- WF37 warning on the control panel
- Insufficient or no water/steam
- Affected valve not delivering water
- Warning recurs when water is requested
Common causes
- Water supply off or low pressure
- Clogged filter or inlet
- Valve EL1 or EG1/EG2 stuck or faulty
- Wiring fault to a valve
- Scale or blockage in a valve
Diagnostic steps
- 01
Check the water supply
Confirm the water tap is open and at adequate pressure.
- 02
Inspect filter and line
Check the inlet filter and water line for blockage or kinks.
- 03
Test the valves
With power off, verify EL1 and EG1/EG2 actuate and are not stuck or scaled.
- 04
Repair or replace
Restore faulty wiring and replace any valve that does not operate, then retest.

When to call a professional
WF37 starts with operator checks of supply and filter. If water is present and a valve still fails, testing and replacing the solenoid valve is electrical and plumbing work for a qualified Unox technician.
