Wolf GR606DG: why is one side weaker?
Because there are two controls, one per griddle surface, and they are rarely left on the same number. Check both knobs and both indicator lights before you decide anything has failed. If the settings genuinely match and one plate still lags, the burner under it is the question, and Wolf Repair Denver on (720) 575-1433 measures that rather than guessing at it.
The whole of this page comes down to one line in Wolf’s own instructions: the double griddle has separate controls for each side. Owners who have never noticed the second knob describe a fault that is not there, and owners who know about it describe the right one straight away.
It matters more here than on the narrower double-griddle body simply because there is more range either side of the plates. Six burners share the top with them, and a long body puts a lot of demand behind one supply, so a complaint about two cool plates and a complaint about the whole cooktop being flat are different jobs that sound identical down a phone. Scrape after cooking, keep the grease collection tray empty, and describe each plate separately when you ring.
What it usually turns out to be
Nothing below carries a figure. Where a row does need us, the fault is found first and the number is agreed with you second, before any part is ordered.
-
One plate colours a pancake and the other hardly marks it
UsuallyTwo knobs, two settings, and usually two different numbers. The light above each knob only glows while its side is calling for heat, so a dark lamp at the moment you glance at it proves nothing either way.
What it costs Nothing, once that check is done
-
Both surfaces sit below the temperature on the dial
UsuallyWhen both are low together the fault is not in either control. These plates are dialled between a hundred and four hundred and fifty degrees, and one that will not hold the middle of that span is checked against what its burner is actually delivering.

-
A light above a griddle knob has started flashing
UsuallyThat signal has one published meaning: the flame went out and the section locked itself off for safety. Take the knob to off, pause, bring it back on. Where it happens repeatedly the range is reporting something real underneath.
What it costs Nothing, once that check is done
-
Six burners and both plates all feel lazy at the same time
UsuallyNothing on the range is proven faulty yet. A body this wide is a great deal of appliance behind one shut-off valve, and the honest next move is a gauge on the line with the top running, not a part out of a box.

Still wondering
Do the two griddle sides ever share a single control?
They do not. Wolf's operating instructions state that the double griddle has separate controls for each side, which is exactly why one side running cool is such a common call and such an easy thing to mistake. Two knobs, two indicator lights, two independent thermostats above one long body.
The indicator light keeps cycling on and off. Is that wrong?
That is the thermostat doing its job. The lamp is lit while the plate is coming up to the number you set, then cycles as more heat is wanted to hold it there. A light that never goes out at all, or one that flashes, is a different story worth a call.
What should I have ready before someone comes out?
Nothing technical. Set both knobs to the same number, note which side lags and roughly how long it took to give up, and have the model and serial read off the plate behind the oven door. Give that to Wolf Repair Denver on (720) 575-1433 and the visit starts halfway through.
