Speed Queen Washer Intermittent Water Leak

Update

The tub cover assembly and gasket were replaced just over a month ago and we have been leak free since. Merry Christmas to all!

Glad to hear it was all resolved. Sorry this happened, these are good washers and worth minor the repair.

Anymore Leaking?

I am currently experiencing what appears to be the same problem with my Speed Queen. Is the repair holding with your machine still? Any leaking problems since the Lid and gasket were replaced?

Thank you kindly for your reply--

Sincerely, Dale

Hi Dale, Yes that repair finally fixed the problem and we have been enjoying the speed queen problem free ever since!

It was part number 202888 (tub cover assembly including gasket) that they replaced that fixed the problem in the end.

SQ AWS52NW leak

I just fixed a leak on our 15 year old Speed Queen. The leak was intermittent.
As it turns out, the hose that runs from the input valve to the drum was the source of the trouble. The washer is fifteen years old. After fifteen years of daily use the hose clamps on both sides of the fill tube rusted and split. This left the fill hose fastened only by friction. Depending on the tub position during fill the hose would leak.
I visited my nearby Speed Queen parts depot and bought a new fill hose and two hose clamps. I used ONLY Speed Queen original parts. The original hose was still good but I replaced it anyway.
Problem solved! Cost: Less than $25. Time: Two hours including travel. I don’t have an internal view of the hose but it is the hose that feeds the fill spouty thingy.

I'm glad that you worked for you. As I mentioned above, I replaced that same hose, clamps, and actually even "fill spouty thingy" aka inlet deflector when I was on my journey to a leak free washer. Unfortunately they weren't the problem, but I was desperate and not having luck with the technicians.

Glad you got it sorted.
I sometimes take a different tack when replacing parts. As in, “the original stuff failed. I will try something different this time.”
Not always...but if something fails I loose the tendency toward loyalty.

Agreed. Stainless steel hose clamps would be a good upgrade, given the failure of the factory clamp.

same problem!

Thank you for sharing this- we've had the same problem- random puddles of water on the floor. Our machine is 6 1/2 years old, and it just started happening in the last year or so. We finally narrowed it down to Large loads when running the heavy duty cycle. At first I thought my son was just overloading the machine, but then when I loaded it up and it did the same thing, I realized we have an actual problem. I am going to ask the repair guy to replace the part you mentioned above- thank you for adding the part number!
