I did laundry in my Speed Queen wringer washer. The pump would not empty the tub. The strange thing is that it worked just fine the washday before. What do I look at or do to cure this? Help! Thanks, Gary | ||

Paul Thanks Paul, it does have a clamp like deal with a flat place to unscrew it. I'll look then. I did some washing before with a lot of lint in it. I'll let you know. Gary | ||

Hi Gary
The brace/clamp is fastened with a thumbscrew which should come off without too much trouble. The impeller on mine had ripped from a stick pin. Still unrepaired and gravity drained.
Another one delivered here had a drain port detergent build up, but since you take such good care of your machines, doubtful of that cause, though a much easier fix. Wish you luck. Last I heard, the impeller was still available from large appliance parts stores. | ||

Mick Thanks for your help, I can get under there and have a good time, I hope? It drains without the pump but I have it in the kitchen and is much easier to drain that way. I wonder what Yogi would recommend I do? lol love it. Thanks, Gary | ||

also...when you flip the knob, does it make contact with the pulley it rides/friction against...is it spinning?....also while your at it, do your hoses feels squishy and soft, or brittle and hard!.....I had a Maytag wringer's hose so stiff it would not flex to let the pump make contact.....
besides....you guys are instigating Devil's as well......be nice, were in the Imperial section....its hard enough for me to be good here as it is.... | ||

I will check the pump out this weekend. The hose is plyable enough it seems. I'll let you know what the matter is. Thanks, Gary | ||

check for an adjustment, or spring that will put tension on this wheel to help it make contact with the pulley......
some even use a flat vacuum belt along the pump wheel to add traction, and take up slack from a worn wheel.......brilliant idea in fact.... it has to make contact in order for it to work, as it did in the past..... | ||

Martin I will have to check that out. I was lying underneath the machine, not the machine on the floor. The hoses are fine too. It is really cramped in there and difficult to see much up under there. Thanks guys for your help. Gary | ||
