Won't spin, lid locked indicator flashes and alarms
Hi
To solve the beeping and lid lock light flashing and the machine not doing a spin dry. Do the following.
I have a SIMPSON EZI SENSOR 8Kg top loader. This is what I did.
WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE. switch the power off and unplug the machine.
DO NOT do this if you are not familiar with working with high voltages.
To get access to the lid lock switch,
1. Remove 2 screws at the rear of the washer.
2. Remove 2 screws at the front of the machine located under the lid and covered by small round plastic plugs.
The top cover can now be raised gently from the front.
3. Remove the 2 screws that hold the lid switch.
4. Remove the clear plastic cover from the lid switch.
5. DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE ( Verify that power is off)
6. Find 2 blue wires these go to a magnetic reed switch (25mm long 3mm Diameter).
Cut
the blue wires and discard the reed switch. insulate the ends of the
blue wires and push them back into the track in different directions so
there is no possibility that they can make contact with each other.
7. Find 2 white wires these go to a set of contacts that are mechanically closed by the solenoid.
8. Pull out the contacts and the 2 white wires.
9.
Cut the white wires at the contacts, strip 5mm of plastic off the wires
and twist them together, The wires will have corrosion, clean them with
sand paper, they must make good contact. I recommend that you solder
them together.
10. Insulate them and push them back into the track.
11.Reassemble starting with fitting the clear plastic cover.
Your good to go BUT BUT BUT,
WARNING
The Lid safety protecting during the spin dry cycle will no longer function,
So don't do this if you need the safety of the lid closed during the spin cycle.
Remove 2 screws at the back of the machine
Hi JoeF. Just want to say a huge THANK YOU for your above directions!! Took us a few goes but we followed your directions step by step and now it is fixed!! so thanks very much for posting that online - a HUGE help :)
Hi, I have a Simpson EZI sensor SWT 902 model washing machine. It is filling water and doing the washing and draining the water. But will not spin while still on washing cycle. The Lid lock and flashing and beeping. It will not go to the next cycle for long time. Can I use your method to fix my washing machine too?
Hi JoeF, my 3 year old Simpson SWT902 had this problem. We followed your instructions and, voila, problem sovled! Thank you very much for posting your solution. love it!!
the lid lock recall replaced switch butg problem still persists ?
Great walk through just fixed my mum's machine works a treat now and saved her mucho pesos!!! Owe you a beer joeF
Good instruction.Fixed my machine,I hope.Thankyou.
Thank you, I just fixed my SIMPSON EZI SENSOR 5.5Kg top loader using your easy to follow walk through, and it is again working without fault.
I did this now the washer will not wash just fills and flashes lid lock alaram what am I doing wrong?
Back in Oct 2012 I followed your instructions (see comment above) and fixed the problem. But now it's back again!! How is this possible?
Ive unscrewed the console cover but how do I get the actual lid off to get to the other two screws. Its one of those toggle type. I saw the technician do it one before and it was very easy but I cant recall how he did it. thanks
Well I pulled out the lid lock component and did as you suggested but it still couldn't work. So purchased a new lid lock part installed it but the lock is closed so I can't close the lid to get it all starting again. Any tips please
I used joeF's wiring fix to get my Ezi 7.5 Simpson washer spinning again, but I opened the switch cover, did the wiring at the plug end where the board is not at the lid sensor red/black/blue/blue/white/white. Before i saw this fix. I purchased the whole lid lock sensor assembly and replaced the component (wrong plug end but rewired) but the washer still would not spin and still beeped. Wasted purchase when I could of used joeF's wiring fix first on the old lid sensor. After replacing the component (that i didn't have to replace) it still beeped when it got to the spin cycle. Only problem I have now after the fix is that the lid lock light is always on after the rewiring. Still locks during the spin but if i start the with the lid open it will still spin. So, warning be safe as the fix as it bypasses the spin lock lid safety. The spin can be very dangerous. Hope this helps someone.

Did you fix this, Leila Bell?
Also having this problem with Simpson EZI sensor 802 model washing machine. This type of error message (flashing lid lock plus beeping) is not in the manual. I suspected blockage (a sock?) so checked connection of drain hose with bottom of machine, but nothing there. May try taking the back off and looking into the pump.
Better if someone has an easier approach.
The wife just reminded me we had the same problem a year ago, couldn't fix it, so rang a technician. The wait was 2 days, but before the technician came, the machine seemed to fix itself, so she cancelled the technician.
Puzzling.
Electrolux repairman came last week and replaced the lid switch parts with a new designed part. Told me the original part was subject to recall because of a problem with the design, was getting wet and stopping the maching operating correctly, and causing shocks. Ring Electrolux, should be covered under the two year warranty (but because the fault was there when the machine was bought, shouldn't matter even if warranty period had expired). I suspect the machine fixed itself previously because the wet part dried out.
