a technician came and change the belt .it's washing and spinning but there's a noise when it is letting out the water.

Hi Neri,
The machine I have does not have a suds saving option. To find out wether your machine has this feature best to contact Speed Queen on 1300 927 437
Dianne

Thank you for that.

Not sure how to do that. I wouldn’t want dirty water to re rinse my clothes. You could move the outlet to siphon outside to water your plants if you were wanting to conserve water though.

I have no idea about that. The tub in stainless steel, agitator blades are plastic, the machine cabinet is metal. That's all I know

No need to use softer it sticks to your clothes,,not really good for fabrics,,,only use half quantity of powder or liquid,,,forget the softness but if need be dilute with water only 1/10 of recommended

cheers the other question I don't know but just look it up on their website or phone them.

This is from the Owners Manual. "The high efficiency setting includes an Eco-Wash Soak during the agitation portion of the cycle. The IN USE, RINSE and SPIN status lights will flash one after the other during the soak periods". Your High Efficiency wash cycle will take 106 minutes whereas your regular cycle takes only 35 minutes. I never use fabric softener in my wash. I add a quarter of a cup of vinegar to the last rinse cycle. Shannon Lush (the Queen of clean) recommends this.

Hi, yes you can speed queen number is 080077337 or +61 95285600. These people are in NZ agents for commercial laundry. When u contact them or look up the web site choose the basic one tell them it is for home use so no coin slot is required. You honestly won't go wrong purchasing any of their models...put in speed queen NZ in your search and go from there..good luck

Thank you for that information. I have had a heavy duty Hoover 600MD for the last 30 plus years and there is no equivalent replacement for it !! Evidence is found at the local recycling yard !!

Hi. It needs a service call. Tell the service guy to give u a estimate of repairs. Cheers

From what you describe, you could have a faulty timer switch which is not starting the wash cycle. These machines are not very complex in their set up and much of the functionality revolves around the timer switch. I suggest you contact your local speed queen service provided. http://www.speedqueen.com.au/contact/ is a good place to start.

I have the same issue and there is nothing else that can be done but switch off at powerpoint. We had the technician look at it and he said that's the way they did the control panel. I don't think it hurts the machine if you don't switch off at powerpoint.

I use a bag also and put it in normal wash cycle and it has never damaged anything, so I would think it's safe to do the same on delicate cycle.

Hi there Marie. I have this model Speed Queen and yes, it does wash dirty clothes very well indeed but I haven't had a problem using it for more delicate items - I put those in a wash bag and use the delicate cycle without a hitch. I have used that cycle and the wash bag when laundering very delicate items such as a - washable - silk top and it's fine Hope you get the machine/model you want - Speed Queen is great, both the company and the products.

Hi Bridget - so sorry to hear that you're experiencing drought and hoping that you might soon get some longed for rain.
We've only ever used bore water (which is fed directly in to the washing machine) and over a period of 16 years it's never been a problem. It sure saves water and in your case the extra effort with buckets would certainly be a saving. The only thing that you might need to keep an eye on would be sediment of any kind (it happens occasionally) and possibly be aware that your bore water might be a bit hard. The bore water here is quite soft so I don't have to add extra washing powder - and yours might be the same. Best of luck and let's hope you get some rain SOON. cheers from Kim

Hi, Bridget, I think Kim who also uses Bore water has the answer - as I live in a City I can't imagine the difficulty you experience - hope it rains for a month for you so you can capture the much needed water. Evelyne

Hi Diane, I can't help you as I only used Fabric softener when I had babies more than 20 years ago. So I can not help you as I do not remember ever having this problem. Maybe you are using too much softener and/or it dispenses at the very end of cycle and does not mix in with the water.

Hi Diane, I've been told to never use fabric softener in any washing machine because it causes clogging up issues over time. If you need your towels to be soft put them in the dryer, that does the trick every time. I never use fabric softener, it's not necessary and you save money!

Would really love to have an answer to my posted question. Is there really no way to stop and restart a program from the beginning? Or am I missing something obvious.
Thanks.

I am not familiar with the Speed Queen front end loader, I only used top loader for many years.

As the Speed Queen advisor said, it can use only cold water. If the hot-water hose is not connected, it pushes the cold water thru this inlet back out and onto the floor! Fantastic machine!

I can use both hot and cold water in my machine I switch it over to cold water via the dials on the machine you have a selection of 3 Hot, Warm and Cold. You will need two hoses connected one to the hot the other to the cold. I wash in cold water all the time and have my hot water tap turned off as I don't use hot water a lot.

When you register your machine for warranty they supply an enquiry number: 1300 927 437. I had the same problem when using the high efficiency wash and when I phoned they said it is because it only spray rinses. Try normal wash or run a rinse cycle after the wash. Also don't use softener. Best to ring Speed Queen, they are really helpful.

Hi, please call customer service for this, I am a home owner not a washing machine technician :)
Also my washing machine is the dial type, not the screen type

There is no button. It has a knob that you turn to say if it's a low-medium-high load. This will then adjust the water level.

Yes there is a wash size dial, the second from the left

Hi Jan, we had this error with another washing machine, you need to run the outlet up to the top of bowl height and back down again to stop the siphoning. Most plumbers should be able to sort that out for you. All the best, Verena

Sorry, no.

All cycles half an hour from turning on and hanging on line

That would will be fantastic.

That's the basic cycle, half an hour - just make sure you never turn on that 'high efficiency' rubbish that they make them put on there. If you need to soak, just open the lid, leave for 5-10, and then close the lid, it just keeps going from where it left off.
