Well I am nearly done. I have never seen so much mold and grime in a washer.
The remains of some sort of a gasket in which the inner basket sits on the outer basket. I have not found the part number. I was wondering if i could use one of those make your own gasket products.
It helped soften the grime and mold, but it took a lot of elbow grease and SOS pads to get it clean.
After various thorough hose downs and spins it's all shiny. And no more moldy smell.
Oops! Forgot these two.

Thanks Mike. The Kenmore is going to my sister. I think I am going to change the water inlet valve. It's working fine. But it's the original, it may be a good idea to put in a new one.
I already bypassed the lid switch on the Speed Queen.
I found the gasket part #39122. I'll go tomorrow to the parts store. Hopefully the SQ will be in service by Friday evening.

<blockquote>I have never seen so much mold and grime in a washer.</blockquote> That means you haven't yet disassembled many washers.
Amazing. No one has that damn gasket. So I ordered it online. Now we wait.
I`d never have expected to see this kind of filth after the first pictures which looked like an almost brand new washer that has been very well cared for.
Amazing how deceptive a first impression can be, isn`t it?
Great job on cleaning it up, wishing lots of fun with your new toy!

Really impressed with the work! Can't imagine the smell and gunk you encountered! Thanks for documenting the process! Greg
WOW!
I loved the before and after pics! I'm looking forward to your review once it's up and running.

Congrats!
Speed Queen washers are so much fun! You'll fall in love load after load one you get this machine running.

Thanks Greg. It was my pleasure.
Thanks David.
Thanks Chetlaham
The Speed Queen has been sidelined until the gasket arrives. In the meantime, I am going to install some sound deadening mats to help quiet down the machine. It's a bit too loud for my tastes. While the area where the motor resides is fairly clean, I might as well wipe it down since it's opened up.
Oh, and there still is a very slight musty smell. I have thoroughly cleaned everything I could think of, yet a faint odor lingers. I wonder if it's coming from the pump, or perhaps some of the hoses. I'll try one of those washer cleaner/deodorizer next. Any recommendations?
any type of cleaner for mold/mildew could be used to clean out the hoses.....or just pour some bleach down the hose.....those corrugated hoses hide a lot...

EXCELLENT WORK!!! Thanks for the progress pics...they're extremely helpful
Thanks Martin. I checked the drain hose. It's filled with gunk. I wish you could still find smooth drain hoses.
Thanks Harry. Glad you found them useful.
Speed Queen washer.
Would anyone happen to know the model number for the matching dryer?

Leaving the drain hose to dry for several days (perhaps detach it from the machine and lay in sun exposure) then flex and shake it may help loosen the gunk ... then put some water in it and shake/flex it to loosen more and flush.
Thanks Glenn. I'll give it a try.
