Other than the soak timer, my favorite part of this washer was the Flotation Rinse light!
Excellent machines, those old Speed Queens.
Thanks Greg!
The scans are great - didn't know there was a drum light in the dryer. I'll be hunting for it when time permits. Wonderful set - hopefully a matching washer is still out there. I agree too - anytime a washer tells you via a light that it is rinsing is a must have feature. How else would you know?
The dryer (model FE9021) appears to be in amazing shape. It came out of an old motel in a small town south of Waterloo - so it was never in a basement. Practically rust free except for a few scrapes on the base. I've gone back to inquire about a matching washer but no one seems to be managing the joint. Guess that is why you will find a "Under New Management" sign in the door window.
Here is a shot after getting it hooked up to some 220v. Everything works great, although there is a scraping noise that either sounds like a roller going back or something is stuck somewhere and dragging. I'll try to dig into it soon so I can do laundry at the house!

interesting
how this dryer and the GE dryer I just picked up look so similar on the outside. I love this Speed Queen. It's such a sophisticated look to me! Congrats!

Hey Ben,
We had a harvest gold washer exactly like the one you have in avocado! Loved the overflow rinse and the high quality porcelain cabinet. It definitely had quality, and weighed a ton! When the spin brake went out on the washer, we traded it in on a SQ HA700lL (1983). We still have that washer and it works - although I'm noticing the tub is indexing about four inches counterclockwise during the wash cycle. I think it's time to get a brake job done on it!
I've never seen a SQ dryer with a foot control to open the door ! Now that's TOL! That stainless steel drum looks like it came right off the showroom floor! Good for you for finding (and saving) this treasure!

Hi,
I'm glad you got the beautiful SQ dryer. As I said before we use to have the same model. The scraping noise could be bad bearings. We had both the fan and drum bearings replaced on ours back in 1999 and it's been going strong ever since. I remember at the time the repair man telling my Mum to never get rid of that dryer as it's head and shoulders better then anything built today.
Good luck with it.

"If I had to choose"? Ok, the cool ass dryer! But in fairness you did not post this to the Classic Rider Lanwnmower site either to ask thier opinion, either. (if there is one)
I was having dinner with my boyfriend Harry, and he said to me "Phil,if you could learn to cook like this, we could fire the chef! I said "Harry, if you could learn to fuck, we could fire the gardner."

Uh...
That Speed Queen dryer looks exactly like an old GM Frigdaire dryer that I have on the inside(shape of door, shape of drum, door seal, lint filter, door liner). Am I wrong or did one manufacture the other?
