Hello Kelp and welcome to TFP. It would help to know the model of your SWG.

I have seen PCBs with cold solder joints before on other appliances. To see if you do have that issue, you need to remove the circuit board from the panel and check the solder joints. You can slightly wiggle the larger components and see if the soldered side moves as well. If it does, you'll have to heat the joint, remove the old solder and then re-solder the component.
