Repairing Somfy Ceres 10/17 brake if the blind rolls down by itself

With the Somfy Ceres 10/17 the integrated brake no longer holds the blind or awning in place after it's raised; the blind or awning rolls back down on its own. We replace the worn brake component, after which your blind or awning will reliably stay in any position again.

Typical error pattern

  • The blind rises normally, but does not stay at the top and slides back down.
  • After the stop, the curtain starts moving on its own.
  • The brake no longer holds the weight of the curtain in position.

Absolutely fantastic and fast – we had our repaired motor back just one week after sending it in and now have a working awning again. They also quickly helped us with our inquiry regarding a programming issue. Highly recommended!
