Which TL Speed Queen

[danmantn]

Nelson, search for post "413378" for a picture of the adjustment screw. Some report only turning the screw a small amount - I had to turn my 4-6 complete turns (use a socket for ease of turing) and be CAREFUL...could easily twist it. Of course, unplug the washer and only attempt if you feel 100% comfortable in doing so, etc., etc.

CONGRATULATIONS.....................

I also have the AWN542, and I love it, I also bought the same machine and matching dryer for my mother. Best of luck,
Mike

Nelson, why does your washer smell bad??? do you not leave the door ajar after use? That is a most common issue with front loading washer owners/users. They have this habit of closing the washer door and leaving it closed until the next use which could be days later. If somebody unplugged their refrigerator for a few days,would they leave the door closed, of course not because they know it would get smelly inside if they did.Front loaders do the same thing. They have an air tight seal and need to be left ajar at least a few hours to allow the humidity to escape and the wet drum to dry out.I've had countless ones over the years and,after I got them,cleaned them out and used them regularly,they always smelled fresh as a daisy.Speed Queen makes some fabulous front loaders and has a strong 3 year warranty on them. Their inner as well as outer tubs are stainless steel.

Wise Choice!

Hi Nelson, I own a SQ AWS76NW that was purchased in April 2007 and haven't had any issues with it whatsoever. This model run was before the government (or whoever) stepped in to make new models more energy efficient and use less water. I didn't have to turn the adjustment screw to get the maximum amount of water for a extra large load. Totally happy with the machine!

Forgot something.....

Forgot to tell you that my model is the equivalent to the 542, same features, but with different style dials and control panel. - Mike L.

Malcolm - machine is apparently not in as I did not receive a call. Unfortunately, I am the delivery guy since the place is over an hour away. I'll probably pick it up on Wed. granted it arrives by then. Nelson

Hadn't thought of this before but what detergent should we use? Currently using liquid detergent All 0xy He something. Suggestions and washing directions greatly appreciated.

Sorry...

Sorry to hear that your machine did not come in on time.

I think any detergent you prefer will work in this standard machine. No special detergent requirements for a T/L non-HE machine.

washing directions

Unless you have made the water level adjustment to raise it to a pre-waternazi level, think of it as a large capacity machine, not extra large. Don't overload and you'll do fine. It's a great machine.
