Internal heater? Do the new SQFL have internal heater? That is feature that worked really well when I had LG FL. I do miss that with TL. | ||

Always select an Extra Rinse
A Speed Queen should be excellent at rinsing.
You may have residual detergent in all your clothes though so you may want to try washing items with no detergent to see if suds develop. Of course only use 1 or 2 Tablespoons of detergent per load. (there should be minimal suds visible) Powders I believe are better rinsing and cleaner overall for the machine. And always select an extra rinse. | ||

Have you ever tried some white (clear) vinegar in the final rinse?
The LG FL I have will let you add up to 4 additional deep rinses on top of whatever the selected cycle has programmed. (You could end up with 6 or 7 deep rinses!) If Turbo Wash is selected, there is also a spin-spray rinse between each of the deep rinses. I can't imagine a load that would require that many rinses, but there you go. | ||

We are down to one tsp of detergent and I’ve stripped my towels multiple times. I’d be willing to stick with it if our GE weren’t on the fritz. Is an internal heater helpful for this issue? | ||

SQ LF Washers Rinse very well, oh course it is very easy to rinse detergent out in soft water because you can use much less detergent and the machine still uses the same amount of water.
People sometimes get the mistaken impression that it is hard to rinse in soft water because when they shower they still feel slightly slippery or they see I few suds in the rinse cycle, but in fact because you used so little detergent in the wash or shower you are actually much better rinsed.
As far as having a built in water heater, It can be nice for special situations where you are using resistance electric water heating anyway and your washer is a long from the WH.
My 17YO SQ FL washer has a BIH, I maybe used it once last year. My customers that have almost never use it, there are simply faster and more ecological way to get laundry clean.
Using the resistance heater a lot chews up a lot of electricity, the electrical consumption of the washer goes up 20-30 times more than what you use without the heater, it is also a stain on the wiring and main boards.
SQ sold a FL machine for almost ten years here and sold almost none, and if they introduced one tomorrow I bet none of the people complaining would buy one because they are just to cheap and would rather support the Chinese by buying a SS or LG.
We are kinda washer nuts here and lots of folks have bought lots of washers in their life and plan to buy more, I have only bought one new washer in my life time and barring a natural disaster this SQ FL will be passed on to someone else when I am gone in 20-30 years.
