Do these have shift solenoids like the older Kenmore have? |

Neat. So it would appear the motor would reverse directions to change between modes? |

How do you remove the drive bell? I took out the center screw underneath the bell plug, but it won't budge. Can't tell from the parts diagram if there is another screw to remove. |

Ended up being the idler pulley. Replaced the belt while we were in there as well. Hope this helps someone with the same symptoms! |

If the washer is just sitting there quietly not advancing toward the spin cycle or agitating, you either have a bad water level control or a bad timer.
This is assuming that it spins and drains normally when you put it in the spin cycle. Just like Maytag years ago, one of the biggest problems with Speed Queen mechanical washers are bad timers and water level switches, I’m sure glad they’re not using mechanical timers anymore. John |

I think I found the part number for the timer: 202705P. Do you happen to know the part number for the water level control? |

Is the water level control called something else on the parts diagram? |

It’s either called a water level control or load size selector there’s only three parts in the control panel this machine a timer the water temperature switch, and the water level control so it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out which part you might need.
It’s pretty easy to test the water level switch or even bypass it to see if that’s the problem. It has just three wires on it. It’s a single pole double throw switch when there’s no air pressure it completes the circuit to the inlet valve when air pressure applied to the tube from water building up in the tub it opens the circuit to the inlet valve and completes the circuit to the timer Motor and the main motor of the machine, the timer has already got the contacts in position just waiting for the power to come through the water level switch to start agitating. There should be a wiring diagram inside the control panel that shows you how to test this with an ohm meter . John |
