thanks goes to Ultramatic/Louie for finding and posting a thread of this Speed Queen, not to mention picking it up for me....
the date code shows it to be Aug 1978, although I am thinking it to be earlier than that..... its a Solid Tub, porcelain, one speed, two cycle, 3 water temps....what more do you need?..... I say plug n' play as there really isn't anything to do to it outside of a good cleaning and polish, and a few areas to touch up..... mechanically it runs smooth and quiet..... although did notice the pump was seeping from the pulley area, and the original owner did a makeshift impellor fix, that didn't hold out past the first three loads, but one fortunate thing for solid tubs, any floor drain will work, at least for now...... any one with insights to locate a fuctioning pump, let me know... |

That machine has to be within a year or so of my 73-74 version, the only difference I notice is your console says Multi-Cycle. I have 1975 literature that proves mine is previous, I bet yuors is 70 to 72? Cuz it still says MULTI-CYCLE, a 60's SQ thing.
Timer and switch are the same, single speed, very BOL and fun fun fun. I've seen many SQ pumps on Ebay thru the years, but you pro's know the difference between the ones for reversing motors versus solenoid ones. Plenty appear on Ebay. Congratulations on your energetic find. Small tub, but excellent results and ACTION! Mark CLICK HERE TO GO TO akronman's LINK |

Anyone know the logic behind this washer's temperature selections? It has Hot/Cold and Warm/Warm, but no Hot/Warm? Offhand I can't think of anything I wash in hot water that I'd want to rinse in cold. |

comtradictions in terms of how each manufacturer decided how to select temps based on these BOL units....
this one sort of allows you to 'manually' change rinse temps after the machine filled....in one way to save money on cold rinses, and another was some people were used to their wringer, and often rinsed in warmer temps, versus plunging their hands in icy cold water.... warm rinses may not have an adverse effect, but clothes seem to feel lighter, softer, and dry better when using a warm rinse, but then again, this could be just a mental thing... this machine like Louie's 1974 Maytag was built during the energ crisis, you would have thought ALL cold rinses.....but warm wash will give you a warm rinse.... |

The temp selections are a bit non-standard, true. Also, on the NORMAL cycle, the wash overflow in the last minute of agitation is the same temp as the wash. NORMAL does not have a spray rinse. The durable Press cycle is different. The overflow at the end of wash is the rinse temp, and then it also spray rinses for the first half of spinout. Speed Queens version of cool-down, I guess.

I don't know about you guys, or even other solid tub machines, but found SQ DurablePress cycle one of the better outcomes for washing PermPress clothing....
granted theres the slight cool down, but the quick ramp up of the spin, and it only last 2 minutes....barely enough time to cause the clothes to wrinkle, and not packed tight to the walls of the tub... but with any load or cycle, with a solid tub, the clothing seems to puff back once the spin stops, you barely have to shake them out before drying.... side note, this is the first one I seen with the spring screen for the sediment tube, which is actually cleared and works....I didn't know that spring existed... |

That is a great new washer to find! I've had several of these lower-end SQ's over the years and saw many of them growing up in the 70's. Never a dull washday with Speed Queen!
The reversing motor washers did have a pretty effective tub brake, bringing the tub to a full stop within five seconds or so, required by law without a locking lid. On almost every machine I've had like this, the brake works intermittently. Sometimes it stops the tub as designed, sometimes it coasts to a stop in it's own sweet time. And then, sometimes it will coast for a while and finally the brake takes hold and stops the tub. You just never know what you're going to get with a SQ spin brake.
The pumps were different from solenoid and reversing motor machines, and there were high volume (comm - coin-op) pumps and standard (residential) pumps. This a25178 pump is the one listed for your machine in the SQ Doctrine I have.
Enjoy your new overflowing fun! CLICK HERE TO GO TO gansky1's LINK on eBay |

thanks Greg, yes this is the one I found and ordered....
although this exact one is for the banging solenoid version, I will just have to switch the bottom half to fit my machines clockwise pump out..... interesting that they didn't just reverse the motor for agitation/spin sequence, then one pump would have worked for both... I have seen the commercial style pumps, with 6 blades, those can kick out some water big time... |

I bought this SQ pump off fleabay last year for my machine. I didn't have any part numbers, but could see it "looked right" in the photos and bought it.
I finally got around to installing it a few weeks ago and this new one is almost 2 inches larger in diameter than the old one. I learned something about this new pump the hard way. If I stop the washer for some reason when there is water in the outer tub (and pump), when it's restarted, water will shoot out of the drain hose with such force, it lifts out of the sink and start spraying everywhere!!

Good to see she's back on the throne washing away! I like that simple yet elegant brushed stainless panel too. |
