    Speed Queen TV2000wn - early review / permanent lid switch fix

    The TC5 will not fill with the lid open either. Never understood the big deal, if I want to add something, I can, it just pauses the fill for a couple seconds. The model you got has a three year parts warranty, NO labor. Not sure where the 90 days came from. The TC5 has 5 years parts and labor...

    What Temp Is Your Thermostat Set?

    69 during the day, I change it to 68 when it gets dark, until morning. 2016 13 seer Trane system. Most important thing is air sealing and insulation. Today was 89 degrees out, the air didn't come on until 4:30 pm. It's ran about 4 times for an hour or so. It usually only runs once at night...

    An Interesting Test with a New Meter

    Can I ask which meter you purchased? I've wanted one for testing several items. I was looking at standard clamp meters...

    Help Me Pick a Washer!

    I wouldn't pay $275-$300 for any 24 year old machine. Too old. You can get new machines for just a little more., and it will be delivered.

    You now think that Whirlpool is the best quality? After years of preaching TC5 only? What happened to change your opinion?

    Help Me Pick a Washer!

    Sorry, thought they were new. SQ no longer makes a residential model with mechanical timer. If these are used, how old are they?

    Help Me Pick a Washer!

    That Speed Queen is a commercial model. 3 years warranty PARTS only, no labor. Look at the TC5 or TR5 for a 5 year parts and labor warranty.

    Is there a decent washing machine (TL/FL) available from Home Depot for under $1k?

    I use these on my house: https://dryerwallvent.com/ Don't clog up like the plastic screens, closes with a magnet, and mice can't chew through the plastic.

    Both my Speed Queen units stop working I don't know what I'm missing or doing wrong - Please help.

    This is why my local Speed Queen dealer will not sell or install these in residential settings. There is no labor warranty, just 3 years parts. Maybe that's why they want a service call charge? Sorry you are having these issues only three months in.

    I'd expect they are separate circuits, since the washer is 120v and the dryer is 240v.

    Home Emergency Lights

    Cool idea, but I'd want it mounted in the wall. Why do you tape the wire nuts though?

    Is there a decent washing machine (TL/FL) available from Home Depot for under $1k?

    I got a Speed Queen TC5. Delivered, installed, free hose extension, and free haul away last year form the local dealer for $1150, The TR5 was offered at $1050. Both have 5 year warranty's. And THEY service what they sell, not some contractor. I'd check out a local dealer before shopping at HD...

    Speed Queen TC5 Anniversary and sudsing issue.

    Here's a closeup. There's about one inch. But another stand pipe won't help anyways, because the hose will not fit in the plug, I've tried to explain that many times, even gave links above to the extension kit. And that wasn't a repair, there was about 2.5" of pipe between the original fittings...

    Speed Queen TC5 Anniversary and sudsing issue.

    Against code, no air gap. And where would I put the HVAC and softener drain hoses? I think we discussed this before. https://codes.iccsafe.org/s/MIPC2018P2/chapter-4-fixtures-faucets-and-fixture-fittings/MIPC2018P2-Ch04-Sec406.2#MIPC2018P2_Ch08_Sec802.4.3 That looks like a dishwasher drain...

    Speed Queen TC5 Anniversary and sudsing issue.

    It may not be the corrugations, I was theorizing that it causes more turbulence than a smooth hose would. I know the pump is strong, but by the time it suds, the water is done, you can hear it just pumping air (and suds on rare occasions). As far as adapters, all you would really need is a...

    Speed Queen TC5 Anniversary and sudsing issue.

    Right, and if you look the end of MY drain hose is not plastic, it's rubber, it's not tapered to fit the plug.. Hose wouldn't reach high enough for the stand pipe, so I installed just the end piece of this kit: https://www.hagedornappliance.com/Speed-Queen-451P3-Kit-Drain-Extension It...

    Speed Queen TC5 Anniversary and sudsing issue.

    Can't make the standpipe taller, as explained above, it's already only 6" from the floor joists. Can't use the plug, the hose will not fit in it, as explained above.

    Speed Queen TC5 Anniversary and sudsing issue.

    The plug fits the standpipe just fine. It will not fit the extension hose on my washer has. I've explained that three times in this thread. It's part of a SQ extension hose kit, as the hose was about a foot short. It's a rubber piece, larger than the tapered end on the regular hose that...

    Speed Queen TC5 Anniversary and sudsing issue.

    As I stated above, the hose extension required will not fit in the plug, not even close, diameter of the rubber piece is more than 1/4" bigger than the plastic hose that would normal go into the plug. Using the supplied plug is out. So not sure how another standpipe would help. I wouldn't need...

    Can a Microwave run continously?

    The amp actually has 12v remote turn on capability, like most power amps, so all I would need is a connector. It also has "signal sense" automatic turn on, but at low volumes, it sometimes shuts off, so I don't use it. The printer has auto on/off. It needs to be in standby so it can print from...
