Do you own a Speed Queen Washer or Dryer?
Comments (1)We have owned the Speed Queen AWN432 for one year. No problems so far, washes great, little vibration, but not the quietest. We have not had to call for service....See More'Secret' Bargain Priced Speed Queen Washer/Dryers for Sale

Comments (44)Mama, I have the old style mechanical SQ TL and it is fine. But, I wanted to tell you about my experience with my Bosch Nexxt FL. It sounds as if you are having a similar issue. It worked intermittently. Sometimes it was fine. Sometimes it wouldn't spin dry just drain. I just never knew when it would work or not work. This behavior became more and more frequent until one day it wouldn't spin at all and ceased to work. I did some research on my particular unit at GW. Because it was out of warranty I called for service. Armed with my GW information, I insisted that the service tech do a computer diagnostic. Just to be thorough he checked one or two other possible mechanical issues. The barrel spun freely with no problems. After he did the diagnostic, we determined the control board needed to be replaced. He also said the barrel bearings were in the process of wearing out, I had too much play in the barrel and it would go bad in the near future. Between both costs, I decided to replace the washer with the SQ TL manual. The reason I tell you this is your repairman can replace every item in the machine and that control board still won't work. Until he does a diagnostic on the electronic control board, you won't have an answer. Insist that he do it. Aside from the miserable customer service at the appliance store, you've got a repairman issue. This shouldn't have been that hard to fix. Have someone with the right equipment check the control board. I still contend that you need a replacement unit. Go for the TL manual basic. It's a good product....See Morewekick
