I have the AWN432. Wondering if it's possible to change out the control panel and "upgrade" the 432 to a 542. Am I crazy? Where could I get the control panel? Would it be worth it? | ||

Not an expert, but dont think so. AFAIK, the 542 has a whole different timer setup... | ||

He's right rwindiana a totally different timer. Also see my channel, I put up another vid of the Speed Queen carrying the freight. | ||

Changing From A 432 to a 542
You would need a control panel, timer, cycle switch, one extra knob and a complete wiring harness, I would guess it would cost you around $200+ depending whether you can buy parts at retail or dealer cost. There is little functional advantage in doing the switch, as a dealer we sell the 412 ten to one compared to both the 432 and 542 combined, it will still be the same washer when you are done.
Now if someone really wants to upgrade their SQ washer I do have the florescent light assembly from an Amana TOL washer, it just screws on and you only have to connect two wires to make it work, I put one on my SQ FL washer a few years ago. I will sell the assembly for $70+shipping. John L. | ||

Hmm, well the main feature I would want to add is the ability to do a "gentle" wash aside from the handwash cycle. Perhaps I could just add a switch in a wire somewhere? I might try to figure out how to mod this thing. :) | ||

Switching Motor Speed When Motor Is Running
Will not hurt a thing, millions of TL washers have been made over the years where the user can change the speed at any time and also during the coerce of many washer cycles the timer also changes the motors speed while running.
Even on the GE FFs mechanical multi-speed clutch machines you can switch speeds all you want with no harm to the washer. | ||
