Speed Queen Washer Repair – Hartville, OH (AFNE9BSP113TW01)

A Speed Queen washer on Royer St NE in Hartville was making excessive noise during the spin cycle. The customer described it as sounding like a jet taking off. Our diagnosis revealed broken shock absorbers, but the repair cost exceeded what the customer wanted to invest in a 10-year-old machine.

The Problem

The customer reported that their Speed Queen washer was loud in spin and sounded like a jet taking off during operation.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection, we found that the shock absorbers were broken and damaged, causing the excessive noise during the spin cycle.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: None
• Work performed: Diagnosed broken/damaged shock absorbers
• Result: Customer declined repair due to cost considerations for a 10-year machine

Is It Worth Repairing?

Speed Queen washers are built for commercial durability and typically last 15-25 years with proper maintenance. However, at 10 years old, major repairs like shock absorber replacement require weighing the repair investment against the remaining useful life. For a Speed Queen, this repair could extend the machine’s life significantly, but the decision ultimately depends on your budget and long-term plans.

Maintenance Tips for Speed Queen Washers

• Keep loads balanced to reduce stress on shock absorbers and suspension components
• Clean the tub monthly with Speed Queen’s recommended cleaning cycle to prevent buildup
• Check and level the machine periodically to ensure proper operation and minimize vibration
