I wonder what the models for 2018 speed queen topload washers will be I am also wondering if 2018 will be the end of the mechanical timers?

Yes

Rivas' videos echoed what Speed Queen told me as well as my local dealer when I bought my 432 recently--there was no way to accommodate the mech timer for the new requirements for 2018. I will say that I probably made a mistake by buying the 432 for $879 locally because for only $899 I could've bought the electronic timer model and it had a 5-year instead of a 3-year warranty. However, I never use the ECO cycle or the delicate cycle anyway.

The real disappointment is the matching dryer, as there is no moisture sensor. I was stupid and didn't even think about it, assuming that it had one. Over the past two months I've rather learned where to set the 'auto dry', but it's still a great step backward, and I urge anyone purchasing to consider this.

Mechanical timers will be impossible to get (as replacements) in a few years and people may be looking at electronic retrofit kits. Also the timer repair companies will be very busy I suspect. I never liked the feel of a speedqueen timer when compared to Whirlpool timers. WCI/Frigidaire had an odd feel (to me).

Question: where did you here this? I am not saying you are incorrect, just wondering.


SQ timers are still better than those in model T GE washers. And perhaps latter model Whirlpools.

Have you actually seen the timers used in those washers?

Late GE timers...

...are about as cheap as could be possibly made-one on my '09 Hydrowave jammed once-took it out,got it apart,found nothing wrong,put it back in and no more trouble :)Really cheap,simple clock motor and eggshell thin plastic housing...'05 WP one is much nicer.

Yup. Saw about a dozen actually split open over a two year period at the complex scrap pile.
