    When did GE start using electronics?

    Well how about that... And I been telling people for years, the only things GE made that I knew were flawless... Jet engines, and Ovens/Stoves/Cooktops. There never has been a better design for ovens, both Wall and Stoves than the original; moveover, the Double coil design of their burner...

    Speed Queen Gas Valve Stuck

    OK... Thanks man for the heads-up... I almost knew the 69 was a Ford...you are too young to have been around in '69... I think I will refrain from the dangerous stuff for a while, but maybe I will pop down and tell you "here" what I have done. That bearing in your drum with the enlongated...

    When did GE start using electronics?

    I simply Don't Know... Hello, I was waiting for others to chime in, but I have never seen any of the filter flow iternations (GE Hotpoint) that had anything electronic...but this was not exactly high-end GE country. After they ditched the filter flow, sure, the usual junk that makes it way...

    Speed Queen Gas Valve Stuck

    You are spot on...Needle and Seat. That's always most common; The needle material is designed to "squish" into any cavities that the seat may have acquired over time, and aslo the material is suppose to absorb any small particles that a perfect seat would not allow to seal with compression. I...

    Electronic Speen Queen Boards

    That is actually normal... Since the iteration of this speed queen had been around forever, Maytag had a say in some of the parts for their Maytag, Admiral, and Amana Lines...

    Speed Queen AWS44NW Tub Seal Replacement Issue

    Its Just the Nature of the Beast... Hello, When the bearing is worn, that you show, and thrust washers in the tranny, your end play becomes a factor. After you tear this down, and replace the seal/bearing (shown), and tighten your lock nut, all should be well. Hope this Helps, LaVidaBoem

    Electronic Speen Queen Boards

    I knew I had never seen any control board made "here"...our labor is too expensive. All come from China or Meh-HE-Co. Also found it interesting that Whirpool supplies these, I thought I recognized that control panel from their commercial line...sure enough, no speed queen logo on the control...

    Speed Queen Gas Valve Stuck

    Just the nature of gas. That is the number one reason all gas equipment fails more often than electric. Moisture and junk in the gas. Both of the valves have been erroded over time with the moisture that's in gas. I suppose that would be the reason gas is scented,... And you know what they...

    Maytag A207 starting problem?

    Digital Meter VS. Analog Hey all, The reason you need the analog hand sweep meter is that during start, the needle will sweep fast and fall back to the run position.
