Thank you so much, Alex, for this easy to follow demonstration. Your clear, step-by-step video gave me confidence that i could complete this repair on my machine, a late1990s Speed Queen "Commercial" model AA4411 that, despite being over 20 years old, was rarely used, in almost new condition -- except for a broken belt (probably due in part to dry rot, rather than wear from use ). The configuration of the pump was different (off to the right of the motor, using a separate belt between the pump and the motor shaft pulley), but the machinè was basically the same. Fortunately, my water pump was still in very good shape -- according to Speed Queen Parts the pumps for my machine are no longer made. But the water pump belts are available (on back order it took 3 weeks). So for $12 (+ $11 shipping) i was able to repair my washer, rather than have to pay a technician to perform something that was easily done after watching your video. Thanks again for all the help you give through your channel!
My name is Abdurrazzaq and I am in Tanzania. I have a problem with the washing speed queen model SWNMN2SP303SW01. It will not rotate the motor. I am asking for your help.
Hey Sam . Thanks!!! It was hard for the camera to fit it such a tight place. Im glad it helped you. I have more videos on speed queen washer and dryers. Thanks for subscribing. See you next video.
I service this exact model. I struggle with the clips. I wear a size 17 ring on my sausage size fingers! It looked like the clip in front had the tab up when you removed it. Maybe I just need a helper with small hands! Thanks for the close up shots and the belt diagram for DIYers.
Good job! Here is something to help future videos, please write down, then show on video, a list of tools required. Side note: I followed your video, but machine didn't spin. Felt like belt was too loose. Turns out just had to run machine so drum pulley engaged, had no idea...
Hey Julie, I don't think it will penetrate. Try and let me know. I always replace them. Before buying another one tightened the hex tiny set screw on the handle to see if it grabs it better.
No I don't , but it is very easy. Just remove two screws to remove the panel and it is right there ! a couple more screws. Disconnect the power first please!!!! @@juliem2538
Good day sir, I would like to know if you can help me with a problem I have with my speed queen washer model number swt821wn. The will work work sometimes. The control board no. 201577p. Respectfully, Marcell.
My washer still works. My daughter says one day she smelled something burning. I took the front panel off and I can see the black residue around the bottom. The washer is now loud, unbalanced and doesn't spin as fast as it once did. Also the tension on the belt seems like its stretched out a bit. Any thoughts? Thanks for sharing.
HELLO, It seems like the belt wore out. I ll get a new one. if the pump is a couple years old or older I ll replace it too.. The black residue is from the belt breaking apart. Make sure the 2" tension plastic wheel spins freely, if it does not replace it too. good luck. Let me know how it goes. Please know t hat I have 10 more videos on speed queens. Thanks for your subscription.
see my speed queen amana video. GET RID OF THAT TENSIONER!!! go with a straight belt KEVLAR BELT!!! just go inch down from your current belt. BEST set up ever!!!
I think there is a manual for most speed queen that type. Try " PARTS DISTRIBUTORS'. 1 800 323 7181. ABOUT 20$. they ll make copies from a master and then they can send it to you.
Hello my first light is blinking (in use) the machine is stop with some water on it. I already check the belt is good and I skipped to drain and it drains so not the pump. What could it be. thanks
Hello Loren I have 20 washers and 20 dryers to my service. Sometimes tenants open the door at mid cycle, they play with the outlet and cord. Sometimes they overloaded and remove the cloths and leave some water on it. Many times i see the washers with water on it and stopped. Since I don't know what happen I just start another cycle and 100 of the times the new cycle begins and ends fine. Just run another cycle. More that likely it will fix itself up. See you next video. Thanks for watching
Hello. Just put coins on the tthing It should have a dollar amount written there . Push it . That’s it. Add detergent first then the clothes. Close the lid and that it !!
Hello Joseph. It is a matter of opinion. DIRECT DRIVE is more expensive, less moving parts, less wear and tear, more rpms. Last longer. More expensive to service BELT DRIVE Cheaper the initial cost. Noisier. More vibrations. Easier and cheaper maintenance but more often., What is it going to be?
I have been in laundromat business many years the big problem is overload of machines.They think just because putting money in machine can abuse equipment do not care.
top cover not secure, retaining rubber ring bad or not in place, or tub rusty at top. i sometimes apply a sealent on top of rusty tubs, does not take much
Thanks Alex for the video! Looks like some stupid engineers at Alliance Laundry Systems couldn't make a commercial washer that's easy to repair. I thought the old Maytag LA712 was a hassle to work on but these Speed Queens are a real piece of shit. New generation of engineers and designers.
The first time I did this job it took me 40 minutes. I took the motor down (I didn't have to) I do now about two a month . Every time it gets easier. Thanks for watching!!!
LOL We don't have that in our leases, but is a good idea. We warn the tenants that do it once. If they do it again then we ll charge them. Thanks a lot for your comment.
So the pump needed to be replaced due to an overloaded washing machine? Does not make sense! What does make sense is that the pump failed and the washing machine tried to spin the tub with a full tank of water and a comforter. This was a faulty pump that caused the problem, not an overload situation yet you blamed the tenant. I own a Property Management company and I'd say from the information you provided on the video that it was not the tenants fault but Speed Queens fault.
Hello Thanks so much for your comment. I could have put the old pump back. I chose to put a new pump because it was on its way out. I stated on 7:35. If the pump its older I always replace it to avoid another service call for the pump. thanks a lot.
@@alexthehandyman3494 replace the pump, they are junk, but remumber, you bought it and we are just trying to keep it running at the least cost to the customer
Amazing video, very informative and explained in a way that I can finally understand. Thank you very much. Now I can go back and do it correctly.
This was exactly what I needed to see. Very clear explanations and visuals. Thanks!
Thank you so much I have e10 other videos on speed queen dryers and washers.
Hey Tiffany. thank you so much. LOL. I just saw your comment after a year!!

Hey Sam . Thanks!!! It was hard for the camera to fit it such a tight place. Im glad it helped you. I have more videos on speed queen washer and dryers. Thanks for subscribing. See you next video.
Your diagram is the best! Everyone else just tells you to "put the belt around x, y, z" but you have no idea what those items are
thank you so much. I have tons of speed queen videos
Very nice explanations and clear video, very helpful exactly I needed to see back clip installation
I service this exact model. I struggle with the clips. I wear a size 17 ring on my sausage size fingers!
It looked like the clip in front had the tab up when you removed it.
Maybe I just need a helper with small hands!
Thanks for the close up shots and the belt diagram for DIYers.
Ha ha. That’s what my wife says That I have sausage fingers ! Thanks for your comment . Please note that I have 17 videos on speed queens.
Great explanation and camera work. Thanks!
Thank you Robert. See you next video. Please subscribe.
Thanks for showing the back clip. That gave me a lot of trouble. I felt relieved when you had trouble as well. There's just not much room in there.
Thank you Karen. Please know that I have a dozen more of speed queen videos. Thanks for your subscription.
Finally a good video!!! Thank you for the great information and explanation of belt installation.
Well done, clear and easy to follow.
Thanks!!!
Thanks. Also great camera effort to get close up.
Thanks so much . FYI I have more videos on speed queen washer and dryers. Thanks
Best on the subject. Thanks!
Hey. I have a question. What weight of gear oil is used in the Speed Queen transmission?
very cool, thankyou Alex
Thanks the drawing made the video I am going to give my queen a try fingers crossed
Good Luck!! Let me know how it goes. Thanks!
Thank you for the great video

Hello, Thanks so much for your comment, You are so right. I just posted parts and tools on the description . Thanks again!
why did it make that high pitch whirling sound? mind did that too
Love your videos and all the hardwork you do Alex!
Thanks Bret!!!
@Elliot Joseph Yeah!! Good job!!!
How do you know when the bearing is bad
Omg thank you for your help!!
It was so helpful thank you so much brother your phenomenal
what if i changed the pump and it still only drains 75% of the water?
Alex, my selector knob is very stiff… would spraying with WD 40 be helpful?
Hey Julie, I don't think it will penetrate. Try and let me know. I always replace them. Before buying another one tightened the hex tiny set screw on the handle to see if it grabs it better.
@@alexthehandyman3494 thank you, I will try that tomorrow
Do you have a video in replacing the knob or the inside part of the knob?
No I don't , but it is very easy. Just remove two screws to remove the panel and it is right there ! a couple more screws. Disconnect the power first please!!!! @@juliem2538

Hello friend, how do you add time on spin cycles or change vend price on this model. Thanks
Hello Sammy, I have a video on each one of those subjects. Go to m y channel and look for them . thanks for watching.
Great video. Do these machines spin the tub as soon as the pump starts when emptying the water?
yes

Hey Alex do you have a service manual for the speed queen commercial washer model SWNMN2SP115TW01.
I think there is a manual for most speed queen that type. Try " PARTS DISTRIBUTORS'.
1 800 323 7181. ABOUT 20$. they ll make copies from a master and then they can send it to you.

Thanks a lot JC
We got some of these units in our apartment and don't know how it works it has the coin thing
Hello. Just put coins on the tthing It should have a dollar amount written there . Push it .
That’s it. Add detergent first then the clothes. Close the lid and that it !!
so which oneis better? Direct Drive or Belt drive?
Hello Joseph.
It is a matter of opinion.
DIRECT DRIVE
is more expensive, less moving parts, less wear and tear, more rpms. Last longer. More expensive to service
BELT DRIVE
Cheaper the initial cost. Noisier. More vibrations.
Easier and cheaper maintenance but more often.,
What is it going to be?
@@alexthehandyman3494 tough call haha. Was gonna get TC5 now thinking about TR5
@@Chorizomicks Ha ha, It will be ok either way. You don have to worry for hopefully 5 -7 years when they start breaking down.
Thank you!
Yup my turn that back snap like the Plug's on My vet
Excellent video. Just subribed!
Thank you Papi. I have tons more of speed queen videos.
I have been in laundromat business many years the big problem is overload of machines.They think just because putting money in machine can abuse equipment do not care.
Does anyone have any idea why when draining spinning water spills from top between balance ring and cover???
top cover not secure, retaining rubber ring bad or not in place, or tub rusty at top. i sometimes apply a sealent on top of rusty tubs, does not take much

I think I can do this job in 8 minutes. I know it takes a lot longer to film and explain it.
The first time I did this job it took me 40 minutes. I took the motor down (I didn't have to) I do now about two a month . Every time it gets easier. Thanks for watching!!!
Put it ln your lease You Break You Pay
LOL We don't have that in our leases, but is a good idea. We warn the tenants that do it once. If they do it again then we ll charge them. Thanks a lot for your comment.
michael remillard: It's only fair that the Tennant bares responsibility for damage due to overloading or oversudsing using too much detergent.

I pull motor and change belt then reinstall this was a poor designed machine.Commercial washer use torx bits thru pump.
