I have the basic speed queen. NO ELECTRONICS. I've had no problems/issues for 8 years at least. My bleach dispenser gets dirty but who's looking? It washes clothes, nothing fancy. Love it.
All current Speed Queen toploader models aimed at household use (TR7, TR5, TR3, TC5) have fully electronic controls. Two computer boards, one in the console for cycle control, one in the base for the motor. The clue to electronics for any washer or dryer is a cycle selector knob that doesn't have an Off position or doesn't rotate to an Off position during the course of operation, and with a separate Start/Pause/Cancel button.
The one to get if you don’t want electronics is the tv2000wn with home style controls. No computer at all. The dials are mechanical. It’s a light commercial washer available for the home.
@@BeefycheddermeltHow did you find out about this model? I want to know more about. We have a Maytag that’s already had one issue under the extended warranty, but that will soon be over at the end of a couple years. We had purchased a five year warranty but don’t know if will last. We have been researching for couple years. I want a SQ but don’t trust Mexico electronics.
@ That’s how I knew. We had in our first house. We replaced some of it with larger pipes and then built a new house about 20 years ago with no problems.
We had the drain leak on the concrete floor behind our washing machine when the dishwasher was draining at the same time too. The problem was a partially clogged pipe. The waste pipe was partially clogged, and could not handle the amount of water flow from the washong machine and dishwasher at the same time. Roto Rooter cleaned the drain, and found part of the pipe needed to be repaired because it was allowing soil from under the house to enter the pipe and it would not drain completely due to the blockage. When the machine is draining and water is backing up and out of the drain pipe for your washer check the pipe for a blockage.
We just purchased the TR5. We wanted a quite washer and it's just my wife and myself so not a lot of real "grunge". Has the capacity been alright for you? I understand you can't wash a large comforter but how many nice towels can you wash on one load - 4 or 5?
When I had my 2013 Speed Queen AWN432 I had that area around the bleach dispenser start to discolor which looked like it was the beginning of rusting. Never could get it off and I hardly used it for bleach. Shame what this brand has become.
@@LlyleHunter That's right Bruce. The Whirlpool commercial VMW I recently sold claimed to have a porcelain top and lid but I don't know if it really did or not.

The water hammer is more about plumbing in the house that is too small. The stainless is much safer and preferred.
We have galvanized from the mid 60s and I don’t wanna break anything so I went rubber

Good advice
Do you have check valves?
No

Easy 6 towels.i go hot on towels and heavy duty setting. Still use autofill because it will fill the tub if it has to
Just got a tr3 in January ours did the same thing. I forgot to put the line screens in still haven't done it. Seems to work ok
Yeah I'm not sure how necessary they are. But we have old galvanized plumbing and our aerators catch a lot of chunks. Old water heater too.
@@joepublic6256that’s the problem and you should check the diameter of wall plumbing. The water hammer is likely due to that.
The drain pump is very powerful and it always overwhelms my wall drain.
I keep a bucket underneath the line
How old is wall drain plumbing?
Is this a new house? Ours was built in 98 but never had problems even at old house built in ‘59.
What dryer do you use with tr5
The right side of his dryer console can been seen at 0:12 and the whole console on an angle view at 3:12. It's a Whirlpool.
@@DADoESofTXyeah. It won’t die. Probably 15 years old at least.

It’s a shame that no one makes a machine with porcelain coated tops anymore
