Thanks,henene4 In my experiene, salesmen don't always know much, maybe he was new. He had to look it up in the manual. The head service tech does know his stuff, and he gave me the extension. Do the TR's have electric pumps? In videos it looks like it drains water before spinning. The TR5 was...

Thanks Chetlaham, Is the TC5 direct drive? The saleman said the TR3/5/7 were direct drive, but the TC5 has a belt and transmission.

Thanks John, If I'm researching right, it looks like the TR3/5/7 have electric pumps, and the TC5 has a mechanical pump? Either way they all say over 48" "not recommended". But SQ uses the same generic install manual for all of them, dated 2019. Has anyone actually used a stand pipe this high...

Those liks are not the dealer I used. I bought at the same place I got my Maytag 35 years ago.

You have all been very helpful. I purchased a TC5003WN today, it will be delivered in a week. But I have some concerns and questions. See thread here: https://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?95822_0 Thanks,

Appologize for the length. I already posted about my dying 1989 Maytag here: https://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?95782_24 So today I went to the local Speed Queen dealer, and I have a TC5003WN being delivered a week from Monday. Retail was $1479 according to SQ, they...

Thanks! I never saw all those links at the bottom, never scrolled that far. Lots of cool stuff.

Newbie questio,. What is this POD I keep seeing refer to?

Did a load this morning, had a line of grease splatter under the agitator again. No spots on the clothes luckily. I think that only happens if they get sucked under the agitator plate. But it's definetily shot. I've seen the videos on the Amana, but hadn't seen the one Eddie linked to. That was...

Wish I could edit, have to wait 30 minutes for a new post? 74 minutes? I knew the new machines were slower, but didn't expect that much difference. Seems like agitating the clothes that long would be hard on them. They also have this one...

How long are the cycle times on these machines with the full fill rinse? My current machine I set to agitate 8-10 minutes, and the full cycle is about 30 minutes. 25 if I set it to warm as it fills twice as fast. I figure I have a little time too decide, as no more grease/gunk has shown up...

Will the Amana do a full water rinse? I keep seeing all these new machines that just do a spray rinse.

Thanks. GE and Samsung are not even being considerd. Even here I am getting mixed opinions on the Speed Queeens. Only one recommended model at $1500. Or a commmercial machine, same price, if I can even get one. What about Maytag or Wirlpool commercial units? Just under a grand...

"I have a Speed Queen AWN412 which is mechanically identical to the TC5 purchased in 2013 around Halloween." Doesn't the TC5 have an electronic board, rather than mechanical timer and solenoids like the AWN412? We used to do much more laundry with the Maytag. But now it's just the wife and I...

That's true for all brands, and the amount of negative reviews I read for Speed Queen has me nervous about spending almost $1500 for one, but I do plan on looking at them. What is the difference between the TR5 and TR3, they look to have identical specs, but a shorter warranty on the TR3...

Thanks @qsd-dan. It's odd, when we looked in the stores mine looked larger. I measured, and it appears to be 2.2 to 2.6 cubic feet. I see you replied in the old thread I linked to above, do you agree this is shot? The link above claimed it was just gunk, not grease. Hard to tell, but it cleaned...

So I did a couple test loads (no clothes), removed agitator, and got a little grease/gunk build up around the base of the agitator shaft. Wiped that off and did two loads of laundry. No spots on clothes, and just a spec of grease. Not sure if the seal is leaking or not. Hopefully that was just...

I recently have been finding grey/black spots on a couple pieces of clothing, after seeing this thread: https://www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?29642 I decided to take my agitator out and check. This is what I found, not nealy as bad as the post above, but similar. The last...
