Speed Queen

[lindam]

I have a speed queen wringer washer that will not agitate. Please, I need assistance as to how to repair or where I can find a schematic of the motor. Thanks

Mine was like that when I got it.

Reach behind the knob that starts the agitation and give the lever a harder tug than you can give with the knob. That got mine going. I guess something was just a little out of alignment.

Good luck,
Dave

Not sure what you mean by knob. There is a on/off switch in the front and it is in th on position. WHere is the knob?
Thanks

The switch is the knob.

It is a rotary switch that pulls or pushes a rod behind it that moves a lever on the transmission. The motor should run whenever the cord is plugged in. The on/off knob just engages or disengages the transmission. There is a similar knob on the front of the washer for the pump. Try reaching behind the washer's leg with the agitation knob and moving the rod or the lever it attaches to on the transmission.
