new Speed Queen

I just replaced a 7 yr old Speed Queen Model AW412 and a ten year old Maytag (real, not Whirlpool) dryer that were destroyed in a flood (google Clendenin, WV flood) on June 23/24 with a Speed Queen AW432 and a dryer (not sure of the model number for the dryer). I'm glad they are still available. The morning of the flood, knowing my basement had taken three feet of water, I called my local family owned appliance store and talked to my regular salesman (I've been a customer since 1980) and told him what had happened and that I wanted a new set of NON-ELECTRONIC Speed Queens. He said "they're yours, just let us know when you're ready for them." They were delivered last Thursday and I'm very, very pleased. I hope local dealers are around for a long time. Try getting that kind of service from a box store.....

Water damage

Is it really necessary to replace the dryer, and perhaps the washer? I had a pipe burst upstairs 5 years ago and it dumped water on everything. The dryer drum had a standing puddle in it. Eventually I let them dry and the washer and dryer ran like normal. Granted whirlpool machine have a weep hole at the top of the transmission, so water seeping in could wreck the gear case, but in all honest Ive had other parts in water no issue.

Thanks Ben! Here are my Speed Queens:

Glomain you are right, Properly cleaned clothes without taking forever is great. I'm amazed at how much I can get done with these machines

is it necessary to replace the machines?

The "water" that stood in my machines for over 24 hours was mostly mud, so I replaced the machines. There's a big difference between water from a broken supply pipe and muddy river water that contains who knows what in it.

Makes sense, I was thinking clean water. My mistake. In that case replacing it is a good idea.

After a month

of use the Speed Queen TL we bought has been flawless. Having clean clothes in 30 minutes is awesome! Of course, our Whirlpool dryer takes it's sweet time drying the clothes. It is due for a lint vac cleaning from the exhaust hose. It should be done to avoid any fire hazard.
