    Speed Queen TR washers

    Yes, unrestricted pollution is freedom. It's disgusting that you can no longer see the pollution in the air. The river that used to flow brown, and now I have to look at the bottom. Cars no longer put out enough exhaust gas. How disgusting. Now we will all get cancer from windmills. /s

    Speed Queen TC5 Anniversary and sudsing issue.

    Marky Thanks. Yes, I was looking for suggestions. But also curious why it didn't do this for 8 months, and why only very rarely now. Before I bought the machine, I had read of others who have this issue, but they seem to have it on every single load. When mine never did it at all for months, I...

    Speed Queen TC5 Anniversary and sudsing issue.

    Marky. I don't use the eco cycle. Always use a full rinse cycle. That's what I meant when I said it's the final spin cycle. And when you can tell it's done putting out water, and just pumping air. Ran two loads since, no issue, I suspect it will go a few more months, or more, before it happens...

    Speed Queen TC5 Anniversary and sudsing issue.

    Laundry tub isn't possible, the main drain out of the house is about 4 ft. off the floor of the basement, would require pump etc. No room anyways. I just find it odd it was fine for 8 months. Not sure what you mean by plumbing direct into the drain? It is direct into the only drain I have. Not...

    Opinions please

    Maybe I'm missing it. I don't see any oil, just belt particles/dust from wear. And it appears most of it is on the motor.

    Speed Queen TR washers

    Here's the video from 2023, claiming they broke ground in Texas. Nonsense according to SQ.

    Speed Queen TR washers

    I don't believe they are updating the capacity. That was a rumor started on YouTube by the "appliance insider" a couple years ago. Stating they were in the process of building a new plant in Texas. They weren't, and still aren't, building a new plant in Texas.

    Speed Queen TC5 Anniversary and sudsing issue.

    My Speed Queen turned one year old today, got it delivered May 13th,2024. Had absolutely 0 issues for the first 80 loads or so (approx.), but around the first of the year it suds over on a load my wife ran. Then at the beginning of April or so it did it two loads in a row, again, my wife did...

    Speed Queen TR washers

    There’s too many rust problems with the Speed Queen’s "There’s too many rust problems with the Speed Queen’s currently." Define currently, and what these rust problems are if you could. You (or anyone else) never mentioned them when you recommended the TC5 to me last year. All the old classic...

    VOA

    combo52 If it makes you feel any better, only 32% of registered voters voted for this, almost 31% voted against him. Main problem is 36% didn't vote at all! Over a third of the population apparently doesn't care about the future of their country at all. It disgusts me that the right keeps...

    vintage telephones on moderm line

    Reply #3 Thanks, I was fully aware of ADSL filters, but DSL wasn't mentioned in the OP, and he stated modern line, which I assumed to mean VOIP with an internet provider. DSL is no longer "modern". And it will work without one, just may have noise on the line. Cable Internet/phone modems put...

    vintage telephones on moderm line

    Filter? What do you mean by a filter on the line? I have an old 70's Western Electric in my basement. Probably from when the house was built (1975). It works fine on an internet phone line, no filter used. What does the filter do? Hardly ever use a phone in the basement, so I just left it...

    Maytag walks across floor during spin cycle

    It's odd the previous owner didn't get a refund, or a warranty repair. Really, if it did that since new, he would just get a refund/exchange from Lowes. If he really only did 50 loads, it would be less than a year old (under warranty). I have feeling he used it more than he thought he did, or...

    my fear

    i think its 1988 but not sure about the model number It looks just like my old 1989 A211, but it has a lot more options. Looks like it's a A712, never guess where I found it! https://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?14498

    A cryptic email from Polaroid

    I never cared for Polaroid instamatics. The quality was horrible, and the prints didn't age well at all. Always stuck to 35mm. I went digital for cameras in 2004, and have never looked back. No more paying to develop film, just to find out you took some lousy pictures! I also prefer to view my...

    What is the most reliable top load washing machine in 2025 (besides Speed Queen)?

    From all the research I did last year, LG seemed to get the best reviews for reliability. This scared me, so I went with Speed Queen. Any reason you aren't considering them?

    A cryptic email from Polaroid

    Someone bought the Polaroid name 20 years ago. They have been branding all sorts of things with the name, TV. radios, digital cameras, and even instant Polaroid cameras, etc. My guess would be it's a new instant camera, but who knows.

    Washer and Dryer Cycle Times To Long?

    Reply #15 I'm not sure why my mother in laws, and neighbors machines take so long. I know they take forever to fill, as they will stop filling, rotate, start filling again (auto balancing?). And a few other oddities, like very long pauses between wash/spin/fill cycles. My neighbor has Kenmore's...

    Washer and Dryer Cycle Times To Long?

    A soak period before the rinse, and a longer agitation time. The charts are a bit confusing, as it only gives total time without any options. There is this: Heavy Soil - Fill/Agitate/Soak/spin 24:00 Others: Wash - Fill/Agitate/Spin 17:30 I have no idea how much of that extra 6.5 minutes is...

    Washer and Dryer Cycle Times To Long?

    appnut I meant that I don't have the choice for a longer cycle. According to the TC5 manual, Eco, which I don't use is 27:50, with no options, 34:50 with extra rinse. Permanent Press is 29:40, and ALL others are 32:40. I find it's closer to 35 minutes. Heavy soil has the pre-soak, and I did...
