Welcome to the SQ owners club: Mine showed up in early May. You will get much happiness out of laundry day. It is a joy welcoming new Speed Queens into your home. These showed up on my doorstep. WK78

My pair is seven years old! I have the AWN 542 and matching electric dryer! Use and abuse them! They're work horses! Yes the tub leans during agitation, so what? The tubs always re sets itself for the spin and NEVER EVER goes out of balance. Best of luck to you. Mike | ||

No worries The indexing will eventually stop when the factory applied lubricant wears off the brake shoes. It won't index on the deliate cycle at this point because the agitation stroke isn't as fast. No worries it's working as designed. Mike | ||

there something about the torque of the motor that causes the tub to lean.....SQ doesn't see it as an issue, so nothing to correct it.....I added foam inside the cabinet and front panel to keep it more centered....and even more quieter.....
the dispenser should twist apart to clean..... mine is a lot older, so a few changes I did was, drilling out the water valves for a 50/50 mix, clothes pin for the lid switch, and sealed off the back of the fill flume so all the water falls into the tub....my agitator is solid versus the power flex of the newer models..... did you know a Dual Action agitator from a GE Profile will fit the SQ drive bell.... | ||

you have to trace back through some threads of how they attached these.....but basically, you have to find an old agitator, and cut off the vanes and such, as to have something to attach the new agitator to......
if you follow this link.....further down, you will find a solid vane agitator.....and our own DanManTn did some videos of the two in action... the foam I used was that egg crate type used for beds, cut to fit and glued in place.... CLICK HERE TO GO TO Yogitunes's LINK | ||

a thing of beauty, I have the mid 2000's SQ dryer and trying to get a newer SQ washer to replace my Crapio (cabrio) | ||

After 3 months all is well with our SQ AWN432. Never enjoyed washing clothes as much as I do with this model. Cycles are done within 30 minuites. Will get the matching dryer once the Whirlpool goes. | ||

an interesting question for you guys......
even though I have the washer.....how does the dryer rate?....not just drying, but the end results.....how do the clothes come out after drying is done?... and here is a prime example.....but is really noted to the ones who have had a Kenmore/Whirlpool dryer....and now have switched to the Speed Queen.... and JohnL will probably be the one to know the insights/schematics to these machines... I too am all for matched sets, most everything I have is a matched set......the Neptunes are OK for drying, to get the same results I am looking at, is to dry everything on LOW....on any machine for that fact that doesn't offer this soft heat feature.... where as a Kenmore/Whirlpool (and a few others) offer this 'Soft Heat' drop down temp feature that makes all the difference in the world for drying results, mainly wrinkling, which I don't experience with these types of machines......... like I said, only those who have got the chance to use both will understand.... so hence, my Ken/Whirl gets priority for perfect results at normal temps....gas or electric.... | ||

New SQ Dryers Are decent sturdy dryers, they are fairly fast and run a little hot and the mechanical timer models are hard to set the dryness level accurately.
That said the 29" WP built dryers are still the best overall dryers ever built anywhere in the world. No other dryer gives the performance, speed , durability, easy repair ability and longevity. We are talking about a design that has been in use for 50 years and it is not that uncommon to see machines that are 50 YEARS OLD still working great.
But like many things in life if you get a new SQ dryer your satisfaction with it will depend on what you had before. About 6 months ago I sold a customer a new SQ gas dryer that had one of the last HOH MT dryers, needless to say the customer was blown away with how fast and gentile the new SQ was compared to the old MT HOH dryer. | ||
