Neff Door Latch Jam / Thermal Expansion Lock

Neff oven door will not open after cooking (no pyrolytic cycle used)

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

Warped door seal, misaligned latch, swollen door liner from heat, faulty door catch

Safety first: Turn off the oven and allow it to cool fully before forcing the door.

Wait for cooling: As the oven cools, metal parts contract and the door may release naturally.
Gentle pressure: Press the door inward while operating the handle to relieve pressure on the latch.
Inspect seal and latch: Once open, check the gasket and latch for damage or misalignment and replace as needed.

If the door remains stuck, internal panels may need to be removed to access and release the latch from inside, which is best done by a technician.
