How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before accessing electronic modules.

Steps:

  • Inspect harness: Locate the multi‑wire communication harness between the main PCB and the user interface. Ensure all connectors are fully seated.
  • Check for damage: Look for pinched, cut, or abraded wires along the harness route.
  • Power reset: After reseating connectors, restore power and see if E18 clears.
  • Module isolation: If possible, follow Neff service instructions to test modules individually.

Resolution: Replace the damaged harness or the faulty module (often the main control board) if E18 persists.
