A Canton customer called about their Speed Queen washer with a jammed coin mechanism that was full of coins. We also serviced a GE dryer that wasn’t heating well, installing new coil packs to restore proper operation.
The Problem
The Speed Queen washer had a jammed coin mechanism that was completely full of coins, preventing normal operation.
Diagnosis
The coin mechanism was packed with coins and required clearing to restore function. The GE dryer’s heating issue was traced to failed coil packs that needed replacement.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: W11315637 – Lock Cam, 279834 – Coil Valve
- Work performed: Cleared jammed coin mechanism on Speed Queen washer and installed new coil packs on GE dryer
- Result: Both appliances restored to proper working condition
Is It Worth Repairing?
Speed Queen washers are built for commercial durability and designed to last decades with proper maintenance. Coin mechanism issues are typically straightforward repairs that make good economic sense given the quality of these machines.
Maintenance Tips for Speed Queen Washers
- Keep the coin mechanism area clean and free of debris that could cause jams
- Check and clean the lint filter after each load to prevent buildup
- Inspect door seals regularly for wear or damage that could affect performance
