- Power-reset the appliance once and remove any obvious obstruction if that is safe.
- Check that any removable trays, partitions, filters, or brew groups are fitted correctly.
- Retest once and confirm whether the mechanism starts normally or the same code returns.
Door lock is defective. On the Neff C67P70N3GB, this code relates to the oven and should be interpreted together with how the appliance is behaving right now.
- The oven displays E106 instead of normal status information.
- The current cycle, function, or startup sequence may stop, pause, or behave differently than expected.
- The same code may return after a reset if the underlying issue is still present.
- A moving component, lock, fan, motor, or mechanism is jammed, misaligned, or not being detected correctly.
- A related sensor, connector, or control circuit is not seeing the component move as expected.
- Listen for unusual grinding, clicking, or stalled motor sounds when the appliance starts the affected function.
- Check whether the fault started after cleaning, reassembly, or moving the appliance.
- If the mechanism still fails, the component or its control path usually needs service.
- Do not force locks, motors, partitions, or moving parts if they do not seat naturally.
Book service if E106 returns after the basic fitment and reset checks, or if the moving part still jams, grinds, or fails to start.
Can E106 clear after a reset?
Sometimes a temporary glitch clears after one full reset, but a repeated return usually means the same underlying issue is still there.
Should I keep using the appliance if it works again briefly?
Only if the code stays away and the appliance behaves normally. If the same code comes back, stop and move to service or more targeted diagnosis.
