Neff Front Airflow Restriction / Seal Issue

Dryer door glass or front panel becomes excessively hot to the touch.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Blocked lint filter, Damaged or missing front felt seal, Air bypassing condenser and heating front panel, Overheating heater duct

Safety first: Unplug the dryer and allow it to cool.

Clean and inspect:

Clean the lint filter and condenser thoroughly.
Inspect the front felt seal around the drum for damage or gaps; replace if worn.
Check that the front panel vents are not blocked by objects or dust.

If the front still overheats, have a technician check the heater duct and thermostats.
