How to tighten front panel on a TL speed queen?

[kenmoreguy89]

The panel of my Speed queen got a little loose, I can see it has 2 screws at the bottom but it still loose on the top of it....how can I do to tighten it in the top? Does it have some bolts to tighten from the inside? Or what? How can I do?
Thanks in advance to everyone who can help me.

let me bump it back to the top

I have a SQ TL....love it, so far nothing's loose, but I might need to know...so let's get this back to the top....i know we have some SQ experts on here....

Alright, let's have a go at this.......

we will go with the idea that you have investigated and tried tightening the screws to no avail.....

or taken the panel off to see if the clips at the top are out of alignment, or need bent out a little to create a tighter grip....

a few options would be to wrap some electrical tape around the clips for a pad of cushion for a tighter grip, how about a few felt/rubber pads along the edge of the front panel to make it fit tighter....

since you have done this stuff already.....when the front panel is removed, theres two bolts that old the top down, are they tight?

otherwise, have you plugged the unit in?, turned on both faucets?, is machine leveled?, using correct cycle for items washed?, is the lid closed?........think this is a stupid question, I did, when I called GE the other day to request service for my FL washer.....washer lights up, fills and drains water, motor hums.....but drum does not turn......common sense tells me the belt is broken!....and then they wanted to know how I knew the belt was broken inside the machine!...........idiots!

Ahahahah! Thank you!!!

So funny! Yes happened just the same with granma's Bosch dishwasher weeks ago, I've diagnosed a burned out drain pump: Well Miss it does not drain! "Is the machine plugged in?" "turned on"? "faucet"? "Is the fuse of your line okay?" Etc... Damnit it is turned on! Light is flashing and at the end of cycle it does not drain, no noise from the pump so it's not even clogged, it is burnt out! get it? they asked all the same kind of stupid questions and then they asked me how I knew it was the pump as well! Well so, it is a common idiocy I guess nowadays.......

First of all thanks for the great help!
Well I only tried tightening the screws at the bottom, didn't know it had clips or how the panel was hold on... my ge filter-flo cabinet is all in one piece, so I'm not used with SQ as I have them since few months, that's why I asked...
Just went to check, managed to remove the panel and found the clips and yes the clips were bented, maybe it happened during transportation, I just pushed them to hold it as they should.....
It is everything okay now!
Thanks for the help Martin, you always can help me!
I should send you a gift someday!
