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
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect the ice maker from mains power (unplug or switch off circuit breaker) before removing any panels.
Steps to try:
- Power reset: Leave the unit unplugged for at least 5–10 minutes to discharge the control board, then reconnect power and check if E01 clears.
- Check supply voltage: Verify the wall outlet or dedicated socket provides stable 220–240 V AC using a multimeter. Low or fluctuating voltage can trigger communication errors.
- Inspect control board connections: Remove the top or rear service panel to access the Neff main control module. Check all multi‑pin connectors for secure fit, corrosion, or heat damage. Reseat each plug firmly.
- Look for board damage: Examine the PCB for burnt components, bulged capacitors, or darkened areas. If present, the board is likely defective.
When to stop: If E01 returns immediately after reset and wiring is intact, the main control module likely needs replacement. This involves handling live‑voltage circuits; if you are not experienced, contact a qualified Neff service technician.
