Transmission change on a speedqueen washer

[@thomasward00]

My 2018 SQ washer doesn't have a transmission, they changed to variable speed electric motor.

[@petermaz701]

Great job!

What oil does Speed Queen use in their washer transmissions?

[@petermaz701]

@@jeromedavis8575 Jerome, I really don’t know.

[@simon5ay5]

used in a retirement home with 25 apartments using the one machine and it looks like they were using to low of a water level. it was on the lowest water level when I got there and the load in the dryer was not a small load

I’m shocked it messed up so soon not that old

Why do u change the transmission what happened to the washer

[@noahmessick8801]

Hey Thomas, how long did it take you to repair this transmission? What would this cost to do it now a days with just the hourly rate?

[@HowsaBowsaYowsa]

Looks like a lot of work.

[@jeromedavis8575]

Excuse me. What oil does speed queen use in their transmissions?

[@simon5ay5]

They come prefilled with oil so I'm not sure what weight oil is used

[@jeromedavis8575]

@@simon5ay5 If you can, I'd like to know what weight oil speed queen uses based on the 24 ounce container it comes if you're able to order it. I wish I knew what weight it was.

How is this a nice video? Does anyone have one in real time so I can see step by step?

[@Brazboy78]

So a Speed Queen this young is already needing a transmission replacement??

[@natepeterson7145]

Brazboy78 when used improperly,yes.

[@maddieg.8921]

Mine did the same. 2 1/2 years old! Leaking oil and leaving the clothes on the wet side after final spin. I did not abuse my machine!

[@MC-mh2ju]

Nathan PETERSON BS...I have a basic model Kenmore 500 from 2009 that is used EVERY SINGLE DAY and has not needed a single repair to this day.

[@petermaz701]

When completely overloaded sure it’s going to happen, nothing is indestructible well a Speed Queen comes pretty close.

[@alecvip7562]

Did you even read the uploaders comment? This thing was absolutely hammered.

[@f23948]

nice video thanks!

[@Samlol23_drrich]

How did you get the agitator off?

[@simon5ay5]

Pull hard

[@Samlol23_drrich]

@@simon5ay5 ok, thanks. Got a belt around it, so,e pry bars etc. gonna put some hot water into the machine to loosen it up, but I’ve gotta let the silicone i slopped under the leaking lower seal set for 12 hours first. Gotta replace the seal/ bearing but we need to use the machine while I wait for the parts so maybe the silicone will work on the slow leak temporarily. Will see. Thanks again

[@tomdalek42]

Did this require any specialty tools?

[@simon5ay5]

It can be done without any special tools but easier with them

[@GoldSeals]

Easily a thousand dollars including the transmission

[@MC-mh2ju]

But, but, but....It's supposed to last 25 years.

[@alecvip7562]

Nothing lasts 25 years when it's completely overloaded and not using the correct water level.
