We responded to a Speed Queen washer repair call on Bayard Road in Homeworth, OH. The customer reported their washer washes and fills at the same time. Our diagnosis revealed a failed pressure switch that had been misdiagnosed multiple times over two years.
The Problem
The customer’s Speed Queen washer washes and fills at the same time. This created a frustrating cycle where the machine couldn’t properly control water levels during operation.
Diagnosis
Found pressure switch had failed. The customer mentioned he’s had four timers replaced for this issue over the last two years and was pretty disappointed with the unit. The real culprit was the dual pressure sensor, not the timers that had been repeatedly replaced.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 205699 — SENSOR DUAL PRESSURE
- Work performed: Replaced pressure switch
- Result: Tests good
Is It Worth Repairing?
Speed Queen washers are commercial-grade machines built to last decades with proper maintenance. Even with the frustration from previous misdiagnoses, this model is absolutely worth repairing when the correct part is identified and replaced. These units far outlast consumer-grade alternatives.
Maintenance Tips for Speed Queen Washers
- Check and clean the pressure switch hose connections monthly to prevent debris buildup
- Run cleaning cycles with Speed Queen’s recommended cleaner to maintain optimal performance
- Ensure proper load balancing to reduce stress on internal components like pressure sensors
