my next check would be the inverter. they have their own power supply to supply 5volts or so to the board for the logic circuits. if this blows then motor wont work
beware Inverter boards contain capacitors the can be charged up to 320v even when off at the plugDave
well its not a sealed tub so things get cheaper but its a bigger job

all you will need is 2 bearings and a seal. provided you have caught it early enough and the drum spider is ok. if not it looks like its no longer available
the seal is about £25 from AEG part no 1249661016
the bearings will not be special and once you knock them out you can source them locally from a bearing supplier
so if all goes ok you might get it done for around £50 in parts
first thing to do is remove the drum and try and strip it to get the drum spider out and check the brass ring where the seal fits is not damaged or where the bearings fit on the spider is ok
can be a challenge to get the spider out of the drum without damage
also if its a plastic drum pulley a normal socket can be used to remove it but the bolt used in the metal ones can be fum and needs an allen key socket I think

try 2 things first
1 check the child lock is off, if it has one
2 remove and replace all small electrical plugs on both the panel and inverter
Dave
no real massive skills just good mechanical know how and the ability to methodical and remember what came off where and when so you can put it back together the same way
let me have the complete PNC number off the label inside the door
lets see if parts are available and price then you can make a decision
dave
assume you had enough wet washing in it as a lot of dryers wont start drying till dampness is detected
Dave
always go to Neff website to check part numbers
programmed board part no 11047497
but I would check other things first. find the relay that controls the element and see if its stuck with contacts closed. you say it gets hot but don’t say if it does switch off the element or keeps getting hotter and hotter which could be a relay fault
Dave
the power board is at the rear right. the power cable plugs straight into it
the voltages on the front panel are mostly low voltage for the circuit boards
Dave
glue some match sticks into the exiting holes using wood glue, then let it dry and smooth off with sandpaper and re drill new holes
also I have no access to door fitting instructions for this machine but a lot of them you can vary where the screws go in some cases
Dave
well the only component at the bottom behind filter is the drain pump as far as i know
weird its not doing it on wash but it maybe hotter water on dry
Dave
see if you can figure out if the sound is from the top of the machine or the bottom
top sound will probably be dryer fan
bottom sound probably pumpdoes it ever make it during a wash programme ? if no more likely fan motor
the only other thing i can think of is when its letting water in. you could run it till it makes the noise then turn the water tap off and see if it stops
Dave
well you could look here for an engineer

but if it is a board problem unless the independant can programme boards its a Hotpoint only job
also i think it would be covered byextended part guarentees from hotpoint so hopefully any parts are free. just pay for labour
they sometimes let you take out an insurance plan and do the repair and then its covered ongoing.
