I came across this pair for $100 on Facebook Marketplace. I never knew Speed Queen produced a washer with a porcelain tub. They look to be in good shape. |

Similar to my Amana model LW3303, purchased in 1991. Still going strong. Motor has been changed; brake pads; pump (only once, which surprises me); no leaks or transmission problems.
Actually, the only leak issue was caused by the worn-out brake pads. They did not hold the tub in place during agitation, so the combined motion of the agitator and sliding tub caused water to splash over the side of the tub. Simple fix. I have a similar Speed Queen dryer, but quite a few years older. |
