Thank you to everyone that responded. Hopefully this coming weekend I will try the hints given here and hope that I can get her to work. I also have a Maytag which is much older, but when I started her up, everything including the pump worked like a charm. Someone is buying it from me...

I have a Speed Queen Wringer washer I purchased new, one of the last made here in the USA. This machine was only used a few times and has been stored in my home for over 10 years without any use (I did drain all water out of it when it was used). I went to run it and to my surprise the PUMP...

I have a Maytag Square Tub wringer washer available to anyone who might be interested, as I am clearing out my basement. Machine was in good working order last time I ran it, but has been sitting in my basement for 10 years. If interested email me at [email protected]. I am located in Dutchess...

I have an Easy Spiralator wringer washer which has been sitting in my basement for over 10 years. I am trying to clean out so I am looking to part with it. If anyone in the NY area is interested, email me at [email protected]. I am in Dutchess County which is about 45 minutes north of...

I have a top load Speed Queen Washer and Dryer (both top of the line models) for the past 4 years now. Excellent machines with no issue, built like a tank yet very gentle on the clothes. I wouldn't buy any other brand after having these units. More than several people in my family have these...

I have a GE PROFILE ELECTRIC RANGE which had a major issue right after it's 1st year anniversary (I have had it for 1 year 3 months now). It was going to cost over $250 to fix, so I called GE customer service. I was very dissapointed that a new unit would fail like this, however they stood by...

I had a Norge washer which we bought new in 1984, proved to be VERY RELIABLE, lasted me almost 17 years, a family of 5 doing laundry every day, with no repair until the transmission started to leak oil. Model was LWA9120 top of the line burpolator model, and it was probably one of the best...

I had a NORGE LWA9120 from 1984 which was loud, BUT my Aunt had a Harvest Gold Frigidare from GM that made so much noise you could hear it all over the house when it was washing, but I have to say it was an atractive machine. That was by far the most noisy machine I have ever heard!

I can't imagine any machine not draining out the wash water completely, what are they thinking? I would never buy a machine that leaves dirty wash water in the tub to rinse with. What if you are washing with bleach, that means even the rinse water would have bleach in it. Does not make a bit...

I bought a Speed Queen Top load set about 3 years ago, and we love it. We in our household prefer a top load to front load for many various reasons. The Speed Queen is very gentle on clothes but cleans thouroughly. It's hand was cycle is great, and we have the ability to 'soak' if we wish...

I would not transport laying down. I tried this once, and I too had all the oil leak out from the machine. Once the oil is out, I am not sure if there is any way to replace it, and without oil, well we all know what can happen. Now I know to remove the wringer, and transport any wringer washer...

My Top Load Speed Queen is very quiet, I do not get any squeaking or vibration during spin or wash cycle, and I have had the machine for about 2 years now.

Thanks to everyone for their replies, they are all greatly appreciated. The model I have is fully electronic, no dials to turn, so the electronics control each cycle. I did check the entire bottom of the interior where the float is, I didn't see anything there, so most likely a fill valve...

I have a Kitchenaid dishwasher about 5 years old which I now have a problem with. I started the machine, it was running, I smelled burning, looked inside, machine was running without any water, coil was heating, and of course spilled food etc was what smelt like burning. I could not get this...

Thanks to everyone who posted in response to my question here. I read some reviews where people claimed that a full load of laundry was being washed in a half tub of water, which concerned me. The reviews on this auto water level were not positive. If I had to make the choice, I might go with...

Has anyone on the site had experience with the Kenmore Top Load (not the oasis, but traditional machine) with agitator, that has the automatic water level control? I am wondering if this machine will actually fill up on a large load, or are the clothes washed in very low water levels? I also...

My friend who has an appliance business and is a Speed Queen dealer told me that they did not lower the water levels. In my case, my new machine had a faulty part, which he replaced and the issue was resolved, the water comes right up to above the last row of holes on a full load. I also get...

According to some recent statistics I read, American households still buy 75% top loaders. While demand is there, i don't think any American company will stop making them in my opinion. Americans always like 'choice', and don't take kindly to any company who does not offer a choice. I have 2...

Hi Greg, I recently bought a top load Speed Queen washer as well, mine did indexing for the first few weeks, then gradually stopped once the brakes were used a while, I didn't have to do anything. How high does your water level fill on a full load, how many rows of holes are left visible? My...

I recently bought a new Speed Queen top loader, and it is very well built and the best performing machine. My friend who owns an appliance store has taken classes from Alliance, and he claims the seals on these machines are really tough and indestuctable, unlike the 'Amana' machines. I think...
