The Simpson SWT954 is a 9.5 kg top load washing machine (Electrolux design rebranded as Simpson with minor changes).

Known Issues

Unit turns off after being powered on for a couple minutes

Causes

  • Off-line SMPS IC has partially failed and is tripping it's internal over-temperature cut-off

Solutions

  • Replace SMPS U9 TNY278PN

Unit will shake excessively during cycle and stop with error code 'E17' and four beeps

Causes & solutions

  • Unit is overloaded: ensure weight of load is less than your model's limit
  • Load is imbalanced: redistribute load to be more balanced
  • Bowl springs have failed or become loose: replace or re-tighten
  • Out of balance detection switch is not aligned correctly: replace or re-align

Disassembly Notes

  • This device is designed well with service and repair in mind
  • The manufacturer has published exploded assembly diagrams showing all fasteners and components (See 'EX. VIEW DRAWING 7696' for SWT954)
  • The front control panel bezel is held on with two screws at the back of the unit
  • The power supply and motor drive PCB is removed with two screws and unclipped from the plastic holder
