amazing, people come here asking for help, and this is the welcome wagon their dealt....again, why some people should not reproduce!
there should be three 5/16" screws holding that pump to the base, this is also how you adjust tension... you can try and use some oil and loosen it up, but this most likely will be a temporary fix, eventually it will lock up again, but may buy some tie until you locate a new one..... first figure out if you have a two port, or four port pump for replacement..... heres a link for a 4 port CLICK HERE TO GO TO Yogitunes's LINK on eBay | ||

and a link for the 2 port.......
this should be mounted to a platform by 4 screws, and then the platform is mounted to the base..... post a pic when you open this up, and WE, at least some of us, can help further.... CLICK HERE TO GO TO Yogitunes's LINK on eBay | ||

that pic refreshes me memory of one of these...
yeah, on the platform theres two screws on the front, and one on the back to remove that, and of course there are four screws that hold the pump to it..... I had a model like this, what bugged me was the tub to pump hose for the filter allowed water to enter the pump during spin, even though it was spinning backwards, it still pumped water over the load...and sometimes slowed down the spin, and caused premature wear on the main belt... I found it best to clamp off either hose for the filtering....granted it did not allow the filter ring to work....... but note, on the last of the Raytheon machines, they noticed this issue, and did away with the four port pump....and went with a two port pump only..... if they only pulled water from the side of the outter tub, there would not have been an issue....I was trying to think of how to add a port on the side, and cap off the bottom one... I believe you can find belts at an auto parts store....for the pump only.... the drive belt must be a slip/clutch type..... I too added a bit more tension to the drive belt as well.... in the mean time, shop around for the best prices....and free shipping if possible.... keep us posted.... | ||

update on the speed queen washer
I have got a pump on order and I need to get a belt. I bought the pump from a fellow club member for $30. Hope to have the machine up and running by New Years. Right now I'm running my 1989 Magic Chef Norge built!!. Just runs like a charm. I would like to take this time to thank Yogitunes and La VidaBoem for all their help will touch base when the machine is up and running. Thanks, Mike

That may be, but if someone came on here asking for help on a certain machine they just purchased, or maybe have owned a while, my first response would not have been POS. I don't care for Frigidaire 1-18's, had my fill of working on them under warranty back in the 70's. But I wouldn't try to tell someone that their recent purchase or a machine they needed help on was a POS, or that they are all junk. | ||

May have seemed rude?
forget him, there's a reason why the block feature was created....willing to bet he didn't win any awards for customer service!....
the question was how to get at the pump, and can it be worked on or replaced....NOT, what do you think of this machine..... I have had several of the NorgeTags/Atlantis versions come through, pumps seemed to be the weak point for the ones I found, but still a decent machine, very large capacity, dual drive tranny with the long slow stroke was a nice touch....and years later, these machines are still running strong.... for the pump belt, those are standard V-belts you can find at most automotive stores, for around 5.00.....measure first, or take the old one with you, don't quote me exactly, but I think that is a 22 inch belt.... also check places that service lawn mowers and such, I find they have just about any size belt ever created.... check with Dave/volvoguy....they may have them in stock..... | ||

Yogitunes, Thanks, i went out today to try to find a belt they all said nla. My question is that everything i have read they say it has to be a cog belt, is that true, i have a gentleman that has the belt I need but on the inside it is smooth. Wanted to get feedback from you guys, again thanks for the help we'll have her up and running in no time. Mike

the only thing with the application of a cogged belt is for tight turns around the pulleys....
I have found both, and used both of several machines, others may chime in, but don't see a big deal in either one being used..... can you post your model number or the size of the belt and I will help you with locating one.....I may even have one here.... we'll figure it out | ||

check this link out......but first, go in and "ask them a question"....they will cross reference to let you know if this will fit your machine exactly before you purchase....
you will be surprised how many belts or pumps are the same, yet have several part numbers.... heres a pic of the set I had..... CLICK HERE TO GO TO Yogitunes's LINK on eBay

 Mike, I am sorry I didn't think of this sooner but I have a good selection of Speed Queen parts that I bought as a lot last summer. I don't have an inventory, but there are belts, knobs, a timer or two and at least one pump. If you ever need anything else (and aren't in a hurry...LOL) let me know and I'll do some digging. | ||

Pump & Belt.
A SQ 4-port pump and a pump belt are still commonly stocked items in many appliance parts stores. My store even has them in stock.
Pump: 31968, $51.13 retail. Pump Belt: 27155, $7.95 retail. You should be able to find them locally with relative ease. If not, feel free to send me a message via AW.org and I can see what I can do regarding better pricing and shipping. My store can ship them out as soon as Monday afternoon. Dave | ||

well, as with any Speed Queen machine, never run it dry.....will most likely work better once in the machine and lubricated from the water....
normally I would say to add about a bucket of water to the drain hose before you start, but this isn't a solid tub, so starting on a regular fill should work out fine... if it were me, I would probably pour in a bucket of really hot water first, then start the machine.... | ||

up and running
wonders never cease, I finally found a belt for my speed queen, I switched out the pump when you look into the old pump it looks like white cement, pully wouldn't turn it, put the new pump in and put the new belt on she runs like a charm have missed using, I was using my Norge built magic chef in the meantime love that machine too. I wish i had a laundry room where I could have more than 1 running. i have been retired 7 months now and people i know who are looking for advice on what washing machine to buy I tell them Speed Queen, the librarian at my local library knew I sold appliances so she had ask me what washer to buy and I told her a speed queen. long story short she did her research and when i was there she said that she bought a speed queen, absolutely loves it.

Soloe... Have you tried Lehman's? Their website lists reviews from people who've bought parts for their old SQ wringers. The link below shows a new Saudi Arabian wringer, but read below the description and you will see what I'm talking about. May be worth a call. CLICK HERE TO GO TO askolover's LINK | ||
