Thanks for all the great information you kind folks have given. I wrote Tony, the owner of the appliance shop I bought my SQ's from, and he could not provide proof liquid laundry detergents contain animal fats.. I feel like a fool now, because Ive been spreading that misinformation to allot...

"The alarmism over detergent overdosing is overblown&#34 I'm the maintenance man for two U of I dorms, and the amount of residual animal fat inside the dorm LG commercial washers is huge. The students all use way to much liquid detergent because when I run a cleaning cycle with bleach, they...

Thanks Thanks everyone.. I'm not certain I even need to clean my washing machine, because I don't see any deposits other than a few undissolved grains of borax when I pull back and wipe out the rubber tub to door sleeve after a wash.. But it's what you cant see is why I'm considering it...

Morning folks.. I use 1 table spoon of tide powder and borax to each load. I've asked this years ago, but can't find my old post. I'm also a little frustrated that this forum does not have email notifications. Anyway, how much citric acid and baking soda should I use to clean a SQ FL? Ive...

My hot water temperature is 128 degrees and the dial is set about half way, so I'll raise the WH temperature to HOT when I do my pre-soak wash.. I first read about the teaspoon of Tide powder on the internet, and then heard it again from my appliance salesman.. He said they were told by...

Thanks everyone. I always use the heavy duty setting with hottest water setting and second rinse, but my water heater is set just a little warmer than I need to shower. I also purge the cold water from the pipe with the sink next to the washer but there's still 8' of pipe I cant purge. I...

Hello everyone, its been a while.. I need some advice on how to sanitize or remove germs and bacteria from my T shirts. I imagine all my clothes need sanitized since I'm single and wash everything together. I never use bleach, but have done a few citric acid/baking soda treatments to my...

My sq fl drawer has a catch on the bottom which hooks a catch on the machine. I just push the catch up and over, and the drawer comes right out.

Thanks I found a recipe calling for a ratio of two to one CA and BS. So something like four table spoons CA and two BS mixed and added to the dispenser might work well.. I hope.

Thanks gansky1 Just maintenance cleaning is all. I used one bottle of liquid tide when I first bought it, and want to be sure the lard is cleaned out.

Found this.. I guess I could use these instructions.. 1 cup of citric acid Set water temperature to 90ºC (194ºF) or turn up your water heater. Add the citric acid into the drum of the machine not the dispenser and begin the cycle.

I'm real happy with my SQ FL. Can anyone tell me how much citric acid, and what cycle to use when cleaning it? Thanks!

Only use dry detergent in a front load speed queen! I talked with the Appliance Barn where I bought them and they said SQ factory rep said NOT the use liquid detergent.. They said liquid detergent will leave a residue that will make my front load stink.. Also, I should use only between a tea...

How much tide HE in speed queen front loader? I just received my AFNE9tBSP FL washer and I'm on my second load. My question is about the amount of Tide HE per load. The installer said to use one table spoon. But the instructions say to add to the fill line of the dispenser.. That's a huge...

Since I cant pick the dryer off the washer by myself jkbff, I will get the side by side's. I'm looking at Model # AFNE9BSP113TW01 washer. And Model # ADGE9BGS113TW01 gas drier.. Any objections, or comments? Thanks everyone!

I think I will skip the stackable. I think I will skip the stack able. I dont want one unit and I envisioned being able to separate them.

Sold! WK78 your "TL machines tested to 10,400 laundromat cycles, FL is tested to 25,000 laundromat cycles." just sold me.. Along with all the additional information. One last question.. Should I consider a stack able configuration? I have barely enough room for side by side, so gaining the...

Thanks GusHerb. I have the money.. But I have to be convinced the extra cost is worth it. As I mentioned. Water consumption isn't a concern for me because I don't use the minimum the city considers my 4 bedroom home should since I live alone. My bill never changes regardless how much water...

Thanks WK78. Frankly, I don't consider the warranty a decision maker. Because you never hear of any speed queens having a problem within 3-5 years. I think its SQ's attempt to promote the new electronically controlled units. Iv read the TL washers are not easy to service is why Iv asked...

My maytag LAT2300AAE puked its transmission oil 5 years ago but kept on chugging until last night (18 years) when it wouldn't spin and I smelled a burnt belt. I don't have the time to rebuild my maytag, but will set it aside as a spare machine after I repair/rebuild it later this winter. I...
