Speed Queen Washer; Dryer Repair – Canton, OH (Coin op washer and dryer)

We responded to a service call in Canton for Speed Queen coin-operated laundry facilities that weren’t working in an apartment building. The tenant reported the laundry facilities in the building do not work, but our diagnosis revealed multiple issues including excessive suds in the washer and faulty door lock assemblies.

The Problem

The tenant contacted us about laundry facilities in the building that do not work. During our initial conversation, we learned the tenant had never actually tried using the laundry equipment because it supposedly didn’t work a year ago when he moved in.

Diagnosis

Our inspection revealed the dryer was actually operating normally. The main issue was with the washer, which had way too much suds in it to operate correctly. We also found that both the washer and dryer needed new service door lock assemblies.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: W11315637 — Lock-Cam assembly for both washer and dryer
• Work performed: Installed new service door lock assembly on washer and dryer, ran washer through several cycles to clear out excessive soap
• Result: After clearing the soap, operation returned to normal and all symptoms were resolved

Is It Worth Repairing?

Speed Queen commercial laundry equipment is built for heavy-duty use and designed to last decades with proper maintenance. These coin-operated units are workhorses that generate revenue, so keeping them operational is typically very cost-effective. Door lock assemblies are common wear items that are straightforward to replace.
