Sourced parts I thank you for your replies. The squeaking only occurs during agitation. I have found a place that I can order the parts from. Am I looking for the agitate and spin belt OEM 38174 Or the idler pulley OEM38225P I am having my 19 year old college student son fix this (he just...

My 6 year old heavily used Series 8 Speed Queen has started to make a squeaking sound during agitation (not the whole time). It’s concerning. It’s very hard to source parts in Canada for Speed Queen machines. Any ideas of what this sound may be? I have a video on my iPad but I can’t figure out a...

It’s the thermistor. Repairs will be underway today! Fingers crossed it’ll all work out!

Thanks for your responses. So roughly 10-15 loads a week. Yes it is the dryer with the lint trap on top.

Good morning, I have a whirlpool cabrio natural gas dryer. WDG6400SWO. I believe it’s about 15 years old. It has had very heavy use over these years. Presently it tumbles but has no heat. My husband thinks it may be the coil pack which is a pretty cheap fix. Do you think it’s worth fixing a 15...

Hello Everyone, I have a speed queen series 8. With the rising costs of EVERYTHING I’m wondering if anyone uses normal ECO mode exclusively on their machines? For the last 4 years I’ve been using every other cycle as I like the idea of a full tub wash and rinse. But…. I am considering using the...

Thank you everyone. I bought the last 6 boxes they had in store. I used it on 6 loads yesterday. Regular cycle and it worked beautifully. No suds issues at all!

So today my local grocery store was clearing out of the small boxes of Sunlight laundry soap. 40 washes for $1.49. That’s a bargain because the regular price is $7.99. It is not HE detergent. I have a speed queen series 8 and it calls for HE detergent. If I went ahead and used it would I be...

I’ve had the SQ series 8 for a couple years now. I’ve started using the eco cycle just to see how it work. I’ve always used the heavy duty standard setting. Do you think the spray rinse is enough for rinsing clothing clean? Between watering my garden, topping up pool and changing hot tub water...

I have the 2017 series 8. It’s all that was available in Canada at the time of purchase. Mine has 3 water levels but they make no sense at all. Medium and large are only 1-2 inches apart (full tub of water and 95% full tub of water!) and small is very small. I do find this annoying.

Purchased a new dishwasher a few months ago. Tight budget right now. So this was a $400 purchase. I previously had a whirlpool dishwasher that gave us many good years of service and I picked this one because it had the same configuration of the inside racks and cutlery basket. This new...

Yes! The clothespin trick will work on the 2017! I did it on mine. So easy.

Drain pipe arrangement So I have city water, it’s not soft and no softener. Had a CABRIO AGI and a GE HYDROWAVE prior to this machine. Never had suds. Never needed fabric softener to cut the suds. No suds or burping from any toilets, sinks etc. When I remove the softener dispenser there is a...

I’m still undecided... I’ve got the AWN series 8. I can’t say I love this machine. I find it causes pilling on our clothes. I have to be really particular about my loads now. Anything that I want to look nice after washing must go in lingerie bags. Annoying. It always causes suds out of the...

I made a nice discovery about my speed queen series 8. I have been mostly pleased with its cleaning ability and short cycle times. Although at times I am in need of a longer wash time. Yes, I could use prewash, and I do. But I can’t use fabric softener during that cycle as it dispenses during...

Regrets... I looked at both the Maytag 575 and the 2017 speed queen series 8 at my local appliance dealer. The Maytag 575 was listed at $1475 Canadian and the speed queen $1299 not including the 13% sales tax in my province. I purchased the speed queen based on the many positive reviews and the...

Whew thank goodness! You guys saved me a lot of time and frustration. I appreciate it greatly!

Got a speed queen 2017 in Feb. Today it’s making a hum/rattle as it agitates and the tub is not rotating in a counter clockwise manner as I remember it doing. Before I call and schedule service on Monday I want to know if that seems normal. I wish I could post a video of what it’s doing but it...

Hello, Wondering if anyone out there could take a nice pic of their control panel on speed queen series 8. I need to make a copy, laminate it and post it in my laundry room for my hubby, kids and house guests who may need to use it. My washer only has pictures on the electronic panel. Thanks.

So I’ve had a speed queen series 8 since Feb 2018. Now the company would like my opinion. Does it even matter? Will they post it? The new machines are out, so why bother asking about the old model. I will give my thoughts on this machine. Overall I like it ok. When I look at what else is out...
