Speed Queen Commercial Washer Normal Cycle

As I was listening to the washer I'm amazed by the sound. It reminds me of an electric guitar 🎸 One of my favorite washer videos thus far 👍👍

[@chavitavb]

The exterior design of this washer just brought back so many memories. As a kid I would put my wwf action figures on top of the washer lid and I would bang the side of the washer to simulate the pyrotechnic sounds. Good times at the launder mat, haha.

[@adamnugent2137]

I love watching washers in action. Speed Queen is the best in my opinion. front load and top load.

[@starcherry6814]

This machine here is going to work! I'm certain those clothes are clean!

[@TruthaholicMoses]

You and my sister are the only ones in the world I know that like to tap and drumroll the cabinet before starting a wash cycle.

[@jeromedavis8575]

Thanks. I love this washer. I'd love to hear the drum roll when you start out soft then get loud with the drum roll on the washer with both hands in a long recording. It's very cool.

[@southwestcarwashes]

One of my local laundromats has around like 10 of these washers still going and they're magnificent at cleaning clothes!

[@ces9180]

The newer models of the speed queen commercial washers doesn't clean anything compared to the older ones. The old washer and dryers in my apartment were recently replaced with these newer models even if there were nothing wrong with them. The newer models agitates so lightly that they don't clean anything even in the heaviest setting while the old washer agitates aggressively, and you can tell it's cleaning your laundry because it shakes the machine while doing it! Might have to start going to the laundromat for this reason, unfortunately.

[@nhrawashervideos6567]

I agree. I hate the TR series. The only machine they make that u still like is the TC5. It's this washer exactly. Not the new trashy drivetrain that doesn't clean worth anything.

[@jamesorsby7553]

Speed Queen is one of the best top load washers ever manufactured...they literally last forever.

[@baobaolovely]

They vibrate on spin cycle and shaking the floor badly and I bought it 7 years ago.

[@jamesorsby7553]

​@@baobaolovelyAny washer will do that when the legs aren’t level on it. Make sure the legs are level to the floor,and you’ll be good. You didn’t see the one in the video shaking did you? The legs are level.

​@@jamesorsby7553yeah but if it was a Maytag commercial, people would say its junk throw it away

[@mustangdbest220]

Holy crap is this ever one loud old damn washer

[@sethhorst6158]

I miss when the laundrymat I used to go to had those while in operation, closed down after a few rebrandings of the convenience store/gas station it was part of.

[@applianceman6009]

It’s definitely got bad bearings! However, they are easy to replace on these simple washers!

[@JaidysTwisteddCountryballs786]

I Have lots of laundromats having these speed queen washer especially the vintage ones! I have a laundromat that’s 2 minutes away from my place and has these washers

[@floodedcar123]

Nice washer.

[@IanGSully]

Kinda sounds like the bearings are going out on that washer.

[@Leafy597]

sounds like this washer has a bad start capacitor and thats why the motor is noisy

[@jaidennoog61official]

Nice video, I will be filming one today. Just aks8ing how did you bypass the lid switch?

[@carytheus5058]

You can keep the lid up on wash cycle is that correct?

[@nhrawashervideos6567]

I can since I defeated the safety switch.

[@dualactionsurgilator]

I do not understand the tapping on the cabinet, what is the point?

A viewer requested I do so, I believe it's something in the world of ASMR

[@biggysmoovemusic7777]

I remember I used to see these all the time at a laundromat on the north side of Vegas and I stopped seeing things a back in 2013 and wonder what happened to them.

[@nhrawashervideos6567]

They're still made, just under the name speed queen now or huebsch and I believe they're all computer controlled now. Still the same machine internally. Any top load huebsch or speed queen is the same as this one.

Where do we put the softener?

This one doesn't have a dispenser. You'd have to manually add it to the Rinse water.

[@robloxwashingmachines-ee3zf]

how did you take the coin box out i dont even know how too i always wanted a commercial washer dryer but without the coin box or removing the coinbox please tell me and also please tell me how you bypassed the lid switch

[@nhrawashervideos6567]

it didn't come with a coin box, also for speed queens, hang something sorta heavy off the lid switch in the back. you'll see it back there

[@JSmith-Not-Smythe-Dear]

Basically, both the Intermittent Spin & the Final Spin were a spin & drain at the same time.

[@homeguestunton]

Is the bearing bad or is that just a really loud motor?.

[@homeguestunton]

It sounds like a bad bearing to me as when it stopped it still made the sound.

[@tvtimetravel]

Where in the machine is the lid switch located? How did you rig it for it operate with an open lid?

[@nhrawashervideos6567]

It's located at the back right. There's actually a trick, the top hangs off the machine in the back about 2 inches. If you get a thick piece of Styrofoam or something similar and wedge it against the lid switch arm when the lid is closed it holds it in the closed position and tricks the machine into thinking it's closed

[@JaidysTwisteddCountryballs786]

Also mind if you film this washer but just in whites in warm water?

[@nhrawashervideos6567]

Don't have this one anymore. Sorry!

[@JaidysTwisteddCountryballs786]

That’s An ECON - O - WASH Top Loader But they were potentially made by the same manufacturers for Speed Queen/Huebsch

It needs parts replaced. but driver to she won't go no more. It is worth rebuilding.

[@mrfandude1235]

seems to fill slightly less water than needed

[@Dog-Lover36]

That loud Spin noise reminds me of front loaders, which make the sound of jet airplanes flying and landing while ending cycle. Too bad that Rinse cycle doesn’t last very long.

[@nhrawashervideos6567]

Yeah the spin noise is due to failed drum bearings. Years of use in a laundromat put major strain on them and they gave out recently

the bearings need to be replaced since the machine makes what sounds like a roaring sound when spinning fast

That motor sounds horrible and the bearings sound pretty bad too so this machine will need some servicing. Probably around 15-25 years old .

[@jeanlucdrion1152]

I ve seen these in laundromats. They are medicore. Plastic pumps are a big weak point. They also don't handle overloading very well. Nothing really to take pressure off of the belt to keep it from getting glazed when that happens. Also the water level pressure switch is prone to failure as well. Dont believe all the hype about them. In laundromats they need alot of attention.
