We got a call about two Speed Queen dryers at an apartment complex on Silver Meadows Boulevard in Kent, OH. The complaint was that the dryer won’t dry the clothes to where the tenants have to keep adding quarters. After checking both units, we found they were functioning correctly.
The Problem
The property manager reported that tenants were complaining about the dryer not drying clothes properly, requiring them to keep adding quarters to complete their laundry cycles.
Diagnosis
I checked both dryers and found they appear to be functioning correctly. The units are in an apartment complex and operate on a coin system.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: No parts recorded
- Work performed: Diagnostic check of both dryer units
- Result: Units confirmed to be functioning correctly
Is It Worth Repairing?
Speed Queen dryers are commercial-grade machines built for heavy use in laundromats and apartment complexes. They’re designed to last decades with proper maintenance. On coin-operated dryers, it’s typically necessary to add quarters to dry laundry completely, especially for larger or heavier loads.
Maintenance Tips for Speed Queen Dryers
- Clean lint filters after every load to maintain proper airflow and drying efficiency
- Check and clean exhaust vents regularly to prevent overheating and extend drying times
- Schedule professional maintenance annually for commercial units in high-use environments
