You machine may have lost a spring. I would recommend removing the back and place all bolts in a cup. Do not forget to unplug first. Then take a look at any thing out of place.

E17 means the machine has gone out balance. Normally, if you untangle the clothes and shut the lid, it will start again. If it doesn't, it may have damaged the out of balance lever under the top of the cabinet. It may also mean that the clutch has failed and the machine is only washing in 1 direction. This will tangle the clothes and cause it to go out of balance every load. Have a look under the machine, if there is black / brown oily stains all over the bottom of the cabinet, it is almost certain the clutch has failed. In most cases, its cheaper to buy a new machine.

i would try a new capacitor,located under the main top panel,its a round cylinder with two wires on it

check the lid switch,it is activated by a magnet set into the lid,magnet may be gone or switch is faulty

if this is a top loader, the suspension rods need replacing

Probably tub seal / bearing leak. Replace washer.

if it goes to the end of the wash and then nothing,check for a block or faulty drain pump

If the clothes are reasonably even at the spin cycle, then this is caused by worn out suspension rods,the out bowl is supported by 4 sprung rods, one on each corner you need to replace a set of four,if clothes keep all going to one side the replace the capacitor

if its a top loader and the clothes are all twisted up then i sugest replacing the capacitor

If they are screw in feet, you need to buy other feet which have a bigger thread on the stem and drill/taper the new holes on the bottom of where the old feet were. If it's just glued on feet, then clean the plate and the foot and glue them back on.

Request from manufacturer or Google

Suspension rods or shocks depending on design.

Sorry not able to read minds or see what is happening from so far away. You need to post a full description of what happens and when exactly it happens and what you can or can't do after i.e. does power come back on by itself or if you switch it on. The more info the better.

What about it? So you have a problem that needs sorting or what? We unfortunately are not mind readers. Sorry.

sounds like the bearings have gone,major job

Draining problem. Pump blocked or failed. https://www.simpson.com.au/support/troubleshooter/?q=cat1

remove top panel and there is a fuse on the board test fuse if good then probably a board fault

the fuse is usually attached to the board is good yes board

check the power switch with a meter otherwise if not that then a board fault if totally dead
