New Speed Queen TC5

[iiijohnnymaciii]

10" would be about medium load on my 2017 and 13" would be extra large.

Not too bad, but it would have been nice to have a small load selection. Small works great on gentle loads for stuffed animals, hats, ect. Small load allows items to stay at the bottom and get cleaned by the bottom of the agitator. When you medium fill those items, they just float to the top and get brushed by the veins.

Speed Queen in Canada

I can't seem to get Speed Queen's website to load any longer from Canada for the past week. I was curious if they were offering this new old model out this way. Have any others from Canada noticed this? Anyone heard if they exiting the Canadian market?

I cannot get speedqueen.com to load either.

<span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">Do we really need another "new style (swish wash) top loader" Speed Queen comment? But as far as their happy customer rating of the TR7 machine, I find it very difficult to believe unless their rating system is upside down. </span>

TC5000WN AWN632SP116TW01 arrived yesterday

My 28 year old Kitchenaid washer stopped spinning about two weeks ago. I ordered the clutch kit for it, but upon getting into the machine to do the repair found numerous other items that were either worn out, broken or almost rusted through. Cost for parts was going to run an additional two or three hundred dollars, and it's not like I know what I'm doing anyway, but that's what YouTube videos are for.

We decided to salute its valiant service and send it to a farm upstate.

After several days of online and in-store research, the choices narrowed down to the Maytag MVWP575GW or the Speed Queen TC5000WN. Decided on the SQ and it arrived yesterday. Between having a mountain of laundry to do and playing with the new toy I spent most of yesterday trying out all the different options. Still have a ways to go before I "grok" the machine, but it's pretty nice.

Bath towels definitely come out with less moisture in them, so they spent a bit less time in the 28 year old dryer.

After washing, I put the towel through the Spin setting seeing if I could get them even less moist, thinking that it would be just spin. I found out that the spin setting is actually an "add water, then spin". No idea if the towels had less moisture in them than before the Spin setting cycle only.

I can't imagine anything I can add that isn't covered by the thorough reviews done by others, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Regarding my previous post about running the towels through the Spin cycle to see if they would get dryer than what came out after the Bulky cycle (I think that's what I used the first run):

I note from looking at the 2019 Classic Top Load cycle Matrix (added below) that the Bulky cycle uses the low speed spin, while the Spin cycle (and Normal, Heavy Duty and Perm) uses the high speed spin.

So, next time I due bath towels, I will most likely use the Normal cycle, with either the Normal Fill or the Deep Fill depending on the number of towels.

Copy and paste response

Why are you posting the same text across different appliance forums?

 

[ladd]

I follow both forums. Please excuse me, but I don't understand your concern; have I missed the fact the everyone that is here at automaticwasher.org is also at fixitnow.com and vice versa?

Testing the "rapid advance to final spin/drain" opti

FWIW:

I just tested the procedure to enable a rapid advance to final spin/drain as noted in a March 2018 Field Bulletin issued by SQ in regards to their TC and TR line of washers. It definitely works with the the new TC5000WN AWN632SP116TW01.

If anyone has not seen the bulletin (I'm probably the only one!), this is what it says:

Home Retail Models Affected: Product Codes TR3 and TR5 (models AWN43R and AWN63R) starting Serial Nos. beginning 1804

These models can now be rapid advanced to the final spin/drain step. For example, when testing a washer you could enter the Rapid Advance Mode after the machine fills and advance to the final spin to drain out the water.

How to Enter Rapid Advance Mode:

1. Press and hold the START/PAUSE button. After about three seconds the current cycle status light will turn off.

2. Continue holding the START/PAUSE button for another 7 - 8 seconds until the SPIN light comes on then release the button.

3. If the lid was unlocked, the LID LOCK light will come on and the lid will lock. Once locked, the machine will start to drain and spin.

4. After the final spin/drain step the control will reset to normal operation.

Electronic vs Mechanical Controls

Not sure if Speed Queen has built in protectors for their control board but I use a plug in Tripplite Isobar. I have my SQ washer and dryer ISOBLOK2-0 Isobar 2-Outlet Surge. They're 2017 electronic control (Washer AWNE92SP113TW01 Dryer ADGE9RGS113TW01 ).

ISOBLOK2-0 Isobar 2-Outlet Surge Protector, Direct Plug-In

Alternative option

ISOBAR2-6 Isobar 2-Outlet Surge Protector, 6 ft. Cord with Right-Angle Plug:

FWIW: the "direct-plugin" surge protector is the exact model I installed when I got my TC5000 washer. As I only use the machine once per week, I have both the washer and the surge protector unplugged most of the time. Excellent surge protection when not plugged in!

TC5000WN: changing temperature during the wash fill

I would like to double check that changing the selection on the water temperature knob during the first fill (for the wash) will change the temperature of the fill water to the new selection WITHOUT first draining the water from the machine. This would allow the user to get exactly the temp they want.
Is this true?
Thanks!
