I wonder if it now has a Brushless motor on it now. One can safely assume with that lid lock that the entire brake assembly is gone. Please send a picture of the unit with the front cover off. | ||

Speed queen @mayken4 now yes you don't have to pull to open it. Only just briefly tried machine out. I use Persil handwash / twin tub powder and love the smell of old fashioned washing. Paul | ||

Awesome! Let us know if it does a spin drain like the US version or if it does a neutral drain with an electric drain pump like the Australian version.
Despite the lid lock, I'm guessing it still operates the same as Speed Queen intended with the tub brake. The only difference being that it has the addition of a lid lock to comply with the rule designed with unbraked FLs in mind that the loading port must be locked while spinning.
Looking forward to hearing your full review and verdict! | ||

Congratulations Paul! Always nice to have a new machine!
Does it fill with tap hot water if set on hot or does it add cold water? Filling a toploader would be difficult in my apartment with the tiny combo boiler/water heater I have. It would take ages to fill the washer. Do you have a tank water heater? | ||

Hi Paul. I would be very interested to know if you can easily run the machine with the lid open just by temporarily bypassing the lid switch in exactly the same way as on the US version.
I would try bypassing the lid switch using the instructions given in any of the threads such as the one I have attached. Then the machine will hopefully think that the lid is closed enabling you to try simply "closing" the lid-lock lever even though the lid is open. See if it then runs. Hope you enjoy your new machine.

Nice!
Enjoy your new machine. I bet having a top load agitator washer is a novelty in Europe.
Did your LG turbo wash front loader take in cold water and heat it? That nearly four hours to complete a cycle is amazing. I have a US LG turbo wash front loader that takes about 45 minutes to complete a normal cycle with tap hot and an extra deep rinse added. (Two spin-spray rinses and two deep rinses.) If I choose to heat the water to sanitize and select heavy soil with three rinses it will take a couple hours, but still nowhere near four hours. Most of that time is used heating the water. What did yours do all that time? Cheers! | ||

Speed queen Hi Rich. Yes my lg was cold fill, but all machine sold in the UK tend to be cold fill. I did have a second hand Whirpool top loader, but sadly died. Been wanting aSpeed Queen for ages. Cheers Paul | ||
