We received a service call in Canton for a Speed Queen washer that wasn’t spinning fully, leaving water in the drum and clothes coming out damp. Upon inspection of this AWN412SP111TW01 model, we discovered the basket hub was broken beyond repair.
The Problem
The customer reported their Speed Queen washer was not spinning fully, leaving water in drum, and clothes coming out damp. This is a classic symptom of a spin cycle failure that prevents proper water extraction.
Diagnosis
During our diagnostic inspection, we found the basket hub was broken. The basket hub is a critical component that connects the wash basket to the drive system, and when it fails, the washer cannot achieve proper spin speeds for water extraction.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: None
- Work performed: Diagnostic inspection revealed broken basket hub
- Result: Customer advised to replace unit due to extent of damage
Is It Worth Repairing?
Speed Queen washers are commercial-grade machines built to last, but a broken basket hub on this model represents a major repair that often approaches or exceeds the cost of replacement. Given the age and condition of this unit, replacement was the most economical choice for the customer.
Maintenance Tips for Speed Queen Washers
- Don’t overload the basket — Speed Queen’s commercial design handles heavy loads, but excessive weight can stress the hub assembly
- Balance loads properly to prevent violent shaking during the spin cycle
- Use the correct water level settings to avoid putting unnecessary strain on drive components
