Possible Causes

Prolonged door open condition, Blocked condenser causing overheating, Faulty overtemperature sensor or thermal fuse, Main PCB detecting compressor overload

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before cleaning or accessing the rear components.

Steps to address E9:

  • Check door usage: Ensure the door is closing fully and not being left open for extended periods. Verify that shelves or bottles are not preventing proper closure.
  • Clean condenser: Pull the unit out carefully and clean the condenser coils at the back or underneath with a soft brush or vacuum. Dust buildup can cause overheating.
  • Improve ventilation: Confirm that the installation meets Neff's ventilation requirements (adequate gaps at rear and sides, no blocked grills).
  • Reset: After cleaning and improving airflow, unplug for 10 minutes, then restore power and monitor. If E9 returns quickly, an internal thermal sensor or overload device may be faulty.
  • Professional service: Replacement of thermal protection devices or diagnosis of compressor overload should be carried out by a Neff service technician.
