Well after 2 very long weeks of anxiously awaiting my brand new Speed Queen set came in, Both locations of Sprowls City were out of all of their Speed Queens so I had to await their next shipment.

I took delivery of an AWN412 washer and matching ADE3LR dryer.

Here is a picture of them in their new home right before their first wash

 

I absolutley love these, such an improvement over the 2001 Kenmore 80 series they replaced.

I'm sure you'll be happy with them. I'm curious to hear your review of them after you use them a bit.

Congratulations!

I think you should make it a SQ trio and get them the FL for company.

unplug unit.....remove the five screws from the back of the control panel.....remove panel.....using a nut driver, turn the pressure switch screw 1/2 turn at a time, plug machine in and let it fill, not high enough?, give it another turn, and turn water level knob to reset, and let it fill some more, keep doing it until you reach the level you want.....usually to the top of the agitator vanes is a good level

when set.....empty machine and run a full load and wash cycle.....monitor the machine, and if set water level is fine, you can replace the rear panel........

1/2 turns at a time get you started.....fine tuning may be needed when you get close to the level you want......but easy enough to do....

mine is an older version....oddly enough, I had to lower my level....

do you needs pics?......

Congrats

Congrats on your purchase, we just bought the same set about 2 weeks ago. I think the Drier is outstanding and the Washer is good, especially compared to what else is available today. I might try my hand at writing a review soon, "we'll see".

Very nice set - keep us posted on all the thoughts and observations as you break them in.  Congrats, there's nothing in the world like that "New Washer" smell!

Speed Queen

I bought two sets myself. AWN542 and the matching dryer, one set for me, the other for my mother.
You will love them.
Good luck,
Mike

Congratulations on your new set! It is good to see a popular brand out there still adhering to traditional washing standards.

Have a good one,
James
