Possible Causes

Faulty door lock brake function, Control module timing fault, Worn motor brake (if fitted)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not reach into the drum until it has fully stopped. Unplug the washer before internal checks.

  • Observe behavior: Confirm whether your specific Neff model is designed for instant drum stop. Some models allow a short run-down period.
  • Check door lock: If the drum continues to spin for an unusually long time, inspect and replace the door lock assembly, as it may not be signaling the control correctly.
  • Professional diagnosis: If replacing the lock does not restore proper braking, the motor control or brake system may require specialist attention.
