My Speed Queen is from 2008 and makes the same sound when agitating. It still works fine. I have had mine serviced regularly. The last service was in November of 2021. He told me that the machine was still in great shape. I asked him about the noise. He told me that it’s a normal sound for...

Service Call He didn’t charge for service call. I guess he was going to include that in the final bill after he installed transmission. He’s actually not a bad guy. I’m just a little confused as to why this happened. Anyway, my washer is working like it’s supposed to for now.

Problem Solved-HOPEFULLY I decided to drop the drain pump on the SQ tonight. I cleaned it, rinsed it out, and put it back on. There must’ve been something causing it to seize. I didn’t find a sock or anything. It was actually pretty clean. Anyway, I put the machine into spin and it kicked...

Model Numbers Speed Queen is AWN542 Maytag is PAV2300AWW The tag says Newton,Iowa. I didn’t look to see if it was one belt or two, but I’m thinking it was just 1 belt. Tim

Thank you John and Eugene. I will begin working on it this weekend. I found a Maytag Performa made in Newton, Iowa for $100 yesterday. Cleaned it up and it’s chugging away to get us through until the SQ is fixed. I appreciate all of your advice. (I’d say this Maytag washes as well as the SQ...

Thanks I knew you all would have some input, and I appreciate it very much. I found it very odd that he said it was the transmission so quickly. The machine fills with water and agitates. When the timer goes to spin, it doesn’t drain or spin. (I had to dip water out with a cup.) Eugene, I...

I have a Speed Queen top load washer. Purchased in 2012 and it has worked very well. On Saturday, the washer was working fine, but Sunday it wouldn’t spin. The agitation is fine during wash cycle, but when the timer advances to spin/drain it just hums. It will not spin water out. I have moved...

SQ Customer Service They watched the video. Diagnosed it and offered to send the part for free. I’ll keep it in case I should ever need it. SQ still seems to care about its customers. I’m pretty impressed. It is the best washer we’ve ever had. I just wish it was as quiet as it was when it was...

Response A technician from Speed Queen responded and said they would send a weldment assembly free of charge. I have no idea what this is. I suppose I will have to call a repairman.

No the machine isn’t new. It’s 5-7 years old I think. I’ve thought about putting some lithium grease on the brakes so the tub would rotate during agitation like it did when it was new. However, that probably would eventually cause more problems. I suppose I will use it like it is. It still...

So basically..... There is nothing wrong with the machine? The sounds are normal for a machine of this age?

Thanks for the comments I was doing a large load of whites, but the noise doesn’t really go away even with smaller loads. I even sent a a video to Speed Queen. They said it sounded like there was something in the outer tub. I just don’t agree with that, but I guess I could be wrong. I’ve...

I have uploaded a video of my Speed Queen. I am wondering if it is working properly because the tub seems to be tilted toward the front and it’s making a clicking sound. I have had a technicaan come out and he determined everything was good. I even asked about putting a a new belt on and he said...

Thanks Yogi In order to get to the brake, I need to take off front panel? Then where is the brake located? Tim

I would like to start by saying that we Love our Speed Queen Laundry Pair. We have had them since 2011 and they work like a dream. However, lately the washer has begun to have a squeaking noise while it agitates. I would just like to know what has caused it and what I can do to fix it? I have...
