Speed Queen Washer Repair – New Philadelphia, OH (AWN43RSN115TW01)

A Speed Queen washer in New Philadelphia wasn’t starting its wash cycle, even though it would fill with water normally. The customer reported that the rinse and lid lock lights were blinking, indicating a safety lockout issue. We found the lid lock plug had worked loose from its connection.

The Problem

The Speed Queen washer would fill up with water but won’t wash. The rinse and lid lock light blink, preventing the wash cycle from starting.

Diagnosis

The lid lock plug had worked loose. This disconnection prevented the washer’s control system from detecting that the lid was properly secured, triggering the safety lockout that displays as blinking lights on the control panel.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: No parts required
• Work performed: Plugged in the lid lock connection and fastened it so that it could not work loose again
• Result: Tested the unit and confirmed proper wash cycle operation

Is It Worth Repairing?

Speed Queen washers are commercial-grade machines built to last decades with proper maintenance. A simple connection issue like this is definitely worth fixing, especially since it required no parts and minimal labor. These machines typically outlast most residential washers by years.

Maintenance Tips for Speed Queen Washers

• Check behind the washer periodically for loose connections, as vibration can work plugs loose over time
• Clean the lid lock mechanism monthly with a damp cloth to prevent buildup that could interfere with proper closure
• Avoid slamming the lid shut, as this can damage the lock assembly and electrical connections
