Neff Overheating / Thermostat Regulation Fault

Dryer runs but clothes come out very hot and sometimes slightly scorched.

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

Stuck-closed thermostat, Shorted NTC sensor, Control board not cycling heater correctly

Safety first: Stop using the dryer immediately, unplug it, and allow it to cool. Risk of fabric damage and fire.

Technical checks:

Test the cycling thermostat and high-limit thermostat for correct operation; replace any that are stuck closed.
Test the NTC sensor resistance; replace if out of range or shorted.
If sensors and thermostats are good, the control board may be overdriving the heater and should be replaced.
