Speed Queen Washer Repair – Alliance, OH (AWS45NW)

A Speed Queen washer in Alliance was leaking water into the drum after using. Our diagnosis revealed the water valve had failed, allowing water to continue flowing when it should have stopped.

The Problem

The customer reported their Speed Queen washer leaks water into the drum after using. This meant water was accumulating in the tub between wash cycles, creating standing water where there shouldn’t be any.

Diagnosis

We found the water valve was no longer sealing properly. When a washing machine valve fails internally, it can’t fully shut off the water supply, allowing continuous flow into the drum even when the machine is off.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 201402P — mixing valve 120V 60Hz
• Work performed: Installed a new water valve
• Result: No more water leakage into drum between cycles

Is It Worth Repairing?

Speed Queen washers are built for longevity and heavy use. This AWS45NW model represents solid commercial-grade engineering that’s designed to last decades. A water valve replacement is a straightforward repair that restores full functionality to an otherwise reliable machine.

Maintenance Tips for Speed Queen Washers

• Check water supply hoses annually for bulging, cracking, or mineral buildup that could stress the inlet valve
• Clean the water inlet screens monthly to prevent sediment from damaging valve components
• Run a cleaning cycle with commercial washer cleaner every few months to maintain Speed Queen’s performance standards
