    Speed Queen TC5 Anniversary and sudsing issue.

    It may not be the corrugations, I was theorizing that it causes more turbulence than a smooth hose would. I know the pump is strong, but by the time it suds, the water is done, you can hear it just pumping air (and suds on rare occasions). As far as adapters, all you would really need is a...

    Speed Queen TC5 Anniversary and sudsing issue.

    Right, and if you look the end of MY drain hose is not plastic, it's rubber, it's not tapered to fit the plug.. Hose wouldn't reach high enough for the stand pipe, so I installed just the end piece of this kit: https://www.hagedornappliance.com/Speed-Queen-451P3-Kit-Drain-Extension It...

    Speed Queen TC5 Anniversary and sudsing issue.

    Can't make the standpipe taller, as explained above, it's already only 6" from the floor joists. Can't use the plug, the hose will not fit in it, as explained above.

    Speed Queen TC5 Anniversary and sudsing issue.

    The plug fits the standpipe just fine. It will not fit the extension hose on my washer has. I've explained that three times in this thread. It's part of a SQ extension hose kit, as the hose was about a foot short. It's a rubber piece, larger than the tapered end on the regular hose that...

    Speed Queen TC5 Anniversary and sudsing issue.

    As I stated above, the hose extension required will not fit in the plug, not even close, diameter of the rubber piece is more than 1/4" bigger than the plastic hose that would normal go into the plug. Using the supplied plug is out. So not sure how another standpipe would help. I wouldn't need...

    Can a Microwave run continously?

    The amp actually has 12v remote turn on capability, like most power amps, so all I would need is a connector. It also has "signal sense" automatic turn on, but at low volumes, it sometimes shuts off, so I don't use it. The printer has auto on/off. It needs to be in standby so it can print from...

    Can a Microwave run continously?

    I've been into high end audio since I was a kid, I've had full separates (amp, pre-amp, etc.) since I was 16, well over 40 years ago. I belong to several audio related forums. Most of the people who believe in nonsense like wires sounding different, gold audio fuses, etc. also believe that a...

    Can a Microwave run continously?

    I've also had paper shredders that would overheat if ran constantly. The other appliance in my home is the drip coffee makers. The last two I've had would automatically shut off after 1 to 1.5 hours.

    How do I report johnb300m?

    I've seen no comments from John that should require such action. Please just stop, or find another forum.

    I knew these bright white LED’s would come out and get put somewhere

    Apparently the site is now an Amazon associate, I didn't type that at the end.

    I knew these bright white LED’s would come out and get put somewhere

    I've already had good luck with them, they have lasted years. They are a brand name, formed in 1978 in the USA. And they get good reviews: https://www.amazon.com/stores/FeitElectricCompany/page/6AD4BC45-E421-495D-BBD4-AB3DC95CDF45 GE, Sylvania, and Philips don't make bulbs (or much else)...

    I knew these bright white LED’s would come out and get put somewhere

    If you mean Feit bulbs, they are excellent quality, and one of the first dimmable LED bulbs available. I've had one on 24/7 for almost 12 years. Another set of 5 above the kitchen table that are at least 8 years old. My Sylvanias started dying at about 3 years, same fixture. As far as the OP...

    Speed Queen TC5 Anniversary and sudsing issue.

    Panasonicvac Yes thanks, that was Mark Mark's suggestion. I replied in reply 7 that I would have to figure out a way to do that, can't really stuff anything in mine due to space, but it should be workable. It came with one of these plugs, but the SQ hose extension end I needed to use won't...

    Speed Queen TC5 Anniversary and sudsing issue.

    How is a plumber going to make that work without replacing the main drain pipe? Now it's add a second stand pipe. There is no space between any fittings. If you cut a fitting, you need some pipe left to attach any new fitting to. And why wouldn't the second pipe suds over too? While I...

    Speed Queen TC5 Anniversary and sudsing issue.

    Reply #13 I don't think I could add much to the pipe, it's about 6" from the joist. I wouldn't have room to get the washer hose in and out. Also a bunch of wiring up there, just out of view, running between all the joists. The hose still wouldn't be straight, since it comes straight out of the...

    Speed Queen TC5 Anniversary and sudsing issue.

    Couple of pics in Operation Just ran a load, no issues. But I took some pics. The first two are the wash cycle, you can see just a little suds around the edge, water barely milky, hard to see in pics. Second two are the rinse, water clear as can be, not a soap bubble to be found. Looks like far...

    Speed Queen TC5 Anniversary and sudsing issue.

    The detergent is still the box we had when we bought the machine. Nothing has changed. It's been at least 20 loads apart the three times it did it. I'd try new detergents, but it would be at least a year before I knew it did anything. Still confused about plumbing direct to drain? You see my...

    Speed Queen TC5 Anniversary and sudsing issue.

    I'm using Gain powder, it is HE. I use less than the lowest mark on the cup (1), which they claim is for small loads. The markings are 1 to 5. The stand pipe didn't produce any suds, the drain hose did! If detergent was the issue, why did it work fine for 8 months, and generally still works...

    Speed Queen TR washers

    reply #49 I wish we could discuss it here. Love to know what you think was foretold in the bible that applies to he earth today. Most the people who try to convince/convert me, also voted for a felon and adjudicated sex abuser. Very odd...hope you aren't one of those.
