This configuration was made in electric with the top oven self cleaning controlled by the electronic control (clock) and the bottom oven standard clean with a regular thermostat. There would be a round control knob toward the right side of the panel.

They are seeing the orange glow from the gas igniter and assuming it’s electric. This oven was made with both the smaller sized broiler and this larger sized one presumably to fit an existing cut out for replacement purposes.

Completely ridiculous........ Addmittedly I haven't actually checked for myself but I can't see any possiblility that many parts from the front load machines fit the new top load. Even if a few are the same Speed Queen doesn't have 50,000 of them in inventory like this guy suggests. And the...

Stricktlybojack.... I agree. I can promise you that they have lost money on the 10 that I have (coin op). They even had to send factory people from Ripon one month after install just to get them all to spin. I had customers waiting an hour and a half to get their clothes back because they...

So many different stories.... Who knows what will happen in the end. When I recently had a factory engineer from Ripon here to try and resolve some of the issues that I have with my 10 machines he had a different story. His story was that they need to stop selling the Horizon FL for the...

I agree with the others here about the ISE Evolution models or equivalent. I have had mine for six trouble free years. Very quiet. Worth the extra money over the Badger line.

Questioning government regulations = Unpatriotic = Flag Burning ??? And it's all stated as though it's fact ! And to think I originally clicked on this thread to learn about new Speed Queen models.

Not looking for a big debate on government/politics. This isn't the place anyway. I just don't want somebody that knows next to nothing about laundry making decisions on what I can and cannot do with my washing machines. (Or other things in my personal life) The water temperature and amount of...

So now it's unpatriotic to desire less government intrusion in a country founded because it fought (and won) independence from a overbearing government ? I don't think anyone is arguing for NO government. Just LESS control over our everyday lives. And I am certain that Speed Queen will not...

I don't believe you will find any relays. The relays are used in the dryers with the "Evenheat" electronic control. The controls on this dryer appear to be a standard timer type. Plus you mentioned that you checked the red and black wires at the timer. What you are calling the thermal fuse...

problem is that most service people today won't be interested in honestly trying to fix this dryer because of its age. Pretty much all functioning parts except the control are still available and should be for some time. In my experience this was one of the best performing dryers ever made...

No timer on this dryer. All electronic control. Could be a loose solder connection on the board. Fixed many like this through the years.

When used properly I don't see anything "icky" about reusing water. Your clothes are all washed together in the same water to begin with. What's the difference if you split it over two different cycles. Of course you have to use common sense. Both of my grandmothers used suds savers and...

Why would a WW come with a set of hot/cold fill hoses ?

Laundromats still work around here on a smaller scale. Usually about 1500-3000 sq ft max, 20-30 washers, completely self serve (no attendant ). Several new ones built each year. Most still have a row of top load washers. Even new stores. Pittsburgh tends to like old ways. If one had a...
