New Speed Queen FL set

[mieletag]

Sorry for not getting back with you. It is still waiting on parts, not sure what parts, just glad I still have the Maytag DC yet. I'm sure it will be fine after it is fixed. Thanks again!

Normal sounds

Mine has always operated that way. But the smoother spins at 48:00 and 1:00 are more typical. The machine is overloaded.

It’s not struggling with that many clothes; it’s just that they aren’t going to wash and rinse well with no room to tumble and slap against the drum.

Ordinarily I fill it full like he did and when the clothes are wet, tumbling action is perfect if they compress down and come halfway up the window. Jeans, though, don’t compress when wet. JMO but 4 pairs of jeans tumble well enough to get clean yet there are still enough clothes in it to balance well.

JMO. No matter what one person thinks about laundry, someone else will disagree.

Finally, today was the day!

Technicians came today with a whole new inner basket assembly. Upon removing the original, it was clear that the basket was out of round. Now, I will give Speed Queen some credit, around here, front loaders, especially Speed Queen front loaders did not sell well, so this pair was sitting on display in a very active showroom for some time.

It almost looked like some dents in the basket.

But anyway, it is all put back together, I watched the disassembly, very, very straightforward. It is now running smooth as silk.

Thanks to all!

Just wanted to do a little update to the update.

I really want to thank Helicaldrive, combo52, jcturbot, and Stricklybojack. I feel foolish for taking it in the first place. As all of you said, the sound was normal.

Then, the first tech unknowingly fudged up the front cover, and possibly damaged the inner basket.

I have to admit, the other week after they installed the new basket assembly and front cover, after about the same number of loads, the dreaded knock came back.

I really had to wrestle with myself letting it keep washing loads.

Well, I am here to tell you, after about 6 more loads after the noise came back, it is now completely gone and smooth as a baby's you know what.

I just wish I would have listened to all the current owners and very knowledgeable dealer about this in the first place, I shouldn't have questioned sound judgement.

Thanks to all again!

Chris,
I picked up a brand new AFNE9BSP113TW01 model just about four weeks ago as I needed something while my Bosch Nexxt was getting a bearing replacement.

After about 12-16 loads mine also made the same noise as yours, just a light knock on slow spin and after about 3 more loads it was gone.

I guess it's just one of the quirks of owning a FL Speed Queen.
