Danny boy.......... How high did you adjust the water level to, and how many turns of the screw did it take. Mike | ||

SQ did it to keep up with the ever-sillier Energy Star rating. By 2012 the rating should be down to 2 Tbsp. of water allowed per load. | ||

I have a feeling that they will implement the 1/2 rinse fill...that's good for 15 gallons like on their commmercial machines. AT LEAST the consumer can adjust if they are inclined to do so on the current model. That and the lid switch defeat played major into my decision. I mean what's the big deal in buying such a classic machine if you can't watch it...jeez! Looking at specs, I believe they decreased a whopping 5 gals from previous years. Interestingly, the chart on the underside of the lid still shows to fill clothes to the top vanes of the agitator. If someone did that straight from the factory, the washer would be overloaded without additional water. At least they do have the 'reset'/additional fill function still working for those who don't want to adjust perm. | ||

Jeff....I have a question How high was the water level on your SQ when you first bought it, and how old is it now? Did you wind up adjusting your water level? Mike | ||

Thanks! Thanks a lot for the info! I am saving up my money to buy a brand new Speed Queen top loader washer-like this one-the last of the REAL washers, today's plastic junk washers don't stand a chance against these fine machines! | ||

Last Speed Queen video...
Well I believe I have thoroughly documented my Speed Queen topload washer. I felt the need to do this as I couldn't find much information on YouTube as I was researching (another thanks to AW.org folks for all the info!). The pics above + my videos should assist anyone else in their research...my way of 'paying it forward' as they say. My last video is of the "gentle" agitation speed...which is selectable by cycle on all models, or by the 'fabric type' switch on the TOL. I hope you enjoy! My efforts to post this as an embedded video doesn't seem to work (just get a white box) so I will post a link. CLICK HERE TO GO TO danmantn's LINK | ||
