    Speed Queen AWN542: I've Joined The Club!

    ok+ Our AWN542 and matching elec dryer were installed 8/14/12. I like how the washer sounds like a belt drive KM/WP at times washing on reg speed and overall a good-not excellent-washer. Is VERY fast-under 30 min cycle at 'norm' wash. Spin WAS super smooth. In last 30 days it is getting...

    'Pilling' prob on my 1 year old today SQ 's

    Been noticing 'pilling' on my cotton/knit shirts last couple of washes using our TOL tl SQ's installed 8/14/12. Tonight my 2 1/2 month old,smooth cotton work shirts looked worse than I've seen them. Investigation leads me to believe a build-up of burnt-on 'dryer sheet' softener on the dryer's...

    Speed Queen AWN 412- Humming noise

    I've used a '60 Norge,'63 Fridgidaire,'67 KM LK,'81 KM 70,'86 KM,&'96 KM prior to the SQ's. The Norge timer was smoother,but a bit sloppy.The Frig was very good. The KM's all ok,esp the '67 keyboard 'clang'@ cycle beginning when you used the cycle buttons. I see NO problem having a quiet,2...

    Lol

    commendation Very refreshing to see an honest,funny H E washer add. Feel sorry for MANY suckered into these bling boxes. My own BROTHER bought a wash plate Kenmore about 2 years ago. He did NOT consult me ahead of time. His 5-6 year old Kemore DD quit--his wife/family overload all the...

    Speed Queen AWN 412- Humming noise

    clickety-clack Our AWN 542 pair are working fine after 7 months. But the timers on both are the noisiest/junkiest feeling of anything I've used. Why should the dryer have a clicky/clockwise ONLY timer? Want to add time--clickety clack ALL the way around again! This and less lint removal than...

    Got My New SQ TL & Dryer Today!

    KM to SQ Thank's for acknowledging my good fortune! I know how -from info here- to raise the water level,but need a socket to fit the hex-head only screws. It's the one missing from my set. The dryer's side opening door is a bit of a pain compared to the KM's full width drop down as my wife...

    Got My New SQ TL & Dryer Today!

    Been looking & reading here for years about the only good tl washer made these days. The '96 90 series KM's were still running normal,but the thread here about SQ going electronic & possible lower water use convinced me to buy now. (Having the money now didn't hurt either!) Love the quiet...

    SPEED QUEEN PREVIEWS THEIR NEW CONTROL PANELS FOR THEIR TOP LOAD WASHERS!!!

    Saw this yesterday & it was the trigger to go to AAA Appliance today & order my tol tl Speed Queen pair. Our '96 Kemore 90 series pair are still working well,but if I wait till they're not,I may only be able to buy computer controlled/crap rinse/gov issue/plastic/big $$ disappointments. Wish...

    It happened yet again!

    'Model' washer What the **** are the designers doing making the main suspension supports out of PLASTIC?! Of COURSE it's gonna fail! As an auto mechanic of over 27 years & washer/car/machine nut for over 52 years,I can't believe what passes for engineering these days. We put warning labels on...

    '63 Frigidaire Imperial thread

    Patrick,I feel a bit oaf-ish flubbing the car guess,because I'm a CAR guy through & through. Those 'Road Wheels' were on Buicks,FOMOCO's & MOPARS,so I don't feel too dufus'd. The 'Stanger looks good & gets rarer every year. My brother has a dark blue '74 Century GS 455 Stage I which he bought...
