    How and When Do Manufacturers Stop Making Washer and Dryer Parts?

    As I Recall... Speed Queen has had issues with the mechanical timers. Apparently a bad batch of them from the manufacturer at some point. Additionally, the stainless steel washtub at some point have shipped with some rough welding edges (check yours at delivery) YMMV Malcolm

    RPM range for gearbox on dual & triple action Top-Loading agitating washers
