unlocking tub Something else I was curious about-on my Mom's 1987 Raytheon-built Speed Queen washer when she first got it, there was a note in it that said the tub was in the locked position-to turn it counter-clockwise until it turns freely. Are the new Alliance-built units the same way-will...

it was more like a knocking sound Correction: I remember when I first run a little water in it for the first time, advanced it to Spin, it wasn't a popping sound, it was a knocking sound, each time the tub shook, before it come up to speed-also, the plastic lid hinge inserts, the lid rubs...

I finally got that brand new Speed Queen top-loading AWN412 washer for my new building today! A few questions; why was it when I first pumped out the water on the Spin cycle, the washer made a popping sound each time the tub shook before it come up to speed-it only did this once, it hasn't done...

washer from my childhood My Mom had a Kenmore washer similar to this, story of it in my profile-same agitator when I was four years old, but I was so disheartened when my Dad got rid of it over the creek bank-it was my most favorite thing in the house.

the washer I'm headed for The washer that I'm headed for for my new building is going to be a Speed Queen top-load like this one-except that it might not be an AWN542 like this particular one, but maybe an AWN412 or an AWN432. Thanks for the pictures and info-as it will help me on my research...

We had a BD Whirlpool laundromat A laundromat from my childhood had belted Whirlpools-a few Kenmores and later years, a few direct drives replaced a few belted Whirlpools-the sound of all those BD Whirlpool made washers, woo-wooing and grind-click-clunking, and the smell of the...

unusual washer How could a washer like this possibly work? The discs would keep the clothes from properly being spun to the sides during the spin cycle. The discs also wouldn't allow you to put in enough laundry in the tub.

unbalanced load handling Does anyone know what the current Speed Queen top-loader washers do when the load gets severely off-balance-do they have an off-balance switch?

my final decision My final decision has been made-I am saving up to buy the brand new Speed Queen 2-speed top loader!

Thanks! Thanks a lot for the info! I am saving up my money to buy a brand new Speed Queen top loader washer-like this one-the last of the REAL washers, today's plastic junk washers don't stand a chance against these fine machines!

bungee cord lid switch trick I wished someone could show me the bungee cord lid switch trick-a picture of the back of the washer with a 30" bungee cord tricking the safety switch on this washer please.

exact description of lid switch location I need a clearer description of where the lid safety switch is on these particular Speed Queen washers, and how to defeat them temporarily-run with lid open, please.

I am seriously considering shelling out $500 to $600 for a brand new Speed Queen top-loading washer for my new building-rather than spend it on fixing up that GE old-style washer with the $500 to $600+I cannot bear the thought of a transmission boot pulling loose, and water flooding my new...

Anybody there? Is anybody there?

motor replacement I was also wanting to know if an old style GE washer with a 1/3 horse motor-can you replace this motor with a 1/2 horse motor? Why did GE make two sizes of motors for their washers?

filter ring GE This is not a Filter Flo GE with the filter pan, it's a Filter Ring Flo GE-self cleaning filter ring-and the only relay I know of to replace is the motor start relay on the top left corner on the back of the washer.

I have never made a major appliance repair before-but now I've got a GE WWA7600SBLWW standard capacity washer that my cousin is saving for me-the outer tub has a rust hole in the bottom of it, front leveling leg is bent, two-speed clutch rattles badly on Gentle speed, transmission spin brake...

I already know of two sources for a tub One place I found one was repairclinic.com, and another place is our local used appliance store (J and J's). I'm also very excited that my cousin actually gave me the washer, as I stated in the previous post.

Hello, anybody Is anybody there?

my cousin gave me the washer! My cousin got herself a new Samsung front-loader pair, and gave me the old-style GE washer! I now have TWO washers in storage-a belt drive Whirlpool LFA 5800 and a GE WWA7600S old-style washer-the Whirlpool needs a pump, and the GE needs an outer tub. This is...
