Hello everyone I recently found this
Speed Queen washing machine out by the curb about to be scrap metal. So I decided to take it. Right now nothing works. I tried plugging it in, Im not sure if there's something wrong with the electrical cord, or something else. This might be another project I will be working on, but for now can anyone tell me what year it's from? Thanks! -Ryan | ||

a 80's Raytheon machine......not one of the best designs after the McGraw-Edison buyout....
these are prone to seal failures, belts and pumps....yet a few last forever... I would check the lid switch first, as these didn't operate without the lid closed... two screws at the bottom hold the front on..... | ||

I have 3 of those-built 1982,early 1984,late 1984-porcelain tub on the '82,stainless on the 84s.The early '84 has an Emerson motor,GE motors on the other 2.Timers can be erratic on these-that would be one place to look for the trouble. | ||

CFZ, any chance you can post pics of your 3 SQ's? I know thse particular models are iffy in the group because of seal and belt failures, but they happen to be some of my favorites. Would love to see yours! | ||
