Is My Speed Queen Still Under Warranty?

| TR7 | Ultra-quiet top loader with a delayed lid lock | 7 years parts and labor |

| TR3 | Ultra-quiet top loader | 3 years parts and labor |
If your Speed Queen is inside its warranty, contact Speed Queen for service first. If it is past it, we are here to help.
Speed Queen Washers We Service
Speed Queen builds simpler, heavier machines than most brands. Repairs follow that design.
TC5 Classic Top Loaders
The TC5 uses a transmission-driven agitator, much like classic top loaders. Common work includes the drive system and controls. See our transmission repair page.
Stacked and Front Load Models
Speed Queen also makes front loaders and stacked washer-dryers. These follow front load repair patterns like door locks and pump filters.
Older Dial-Control Machines
Many older Speed Queens use a mechanical dial timer. We repair them as long as parts are available. See our washer timer repair page.
Who Makes Speed Queen Washers?
Speed Queen washers are built in Ripon, Wisconsin, where the brand has made laundry machines since 1908. The parent company, Alliance Laundry Systems, also makes commercial laundry equipment. Speed Queen says its home washers are tested to 10,400 cycles, or about 25 years of average use.
Is It Worth Repairing a Speed Queen?
Almost always. These machines are built to run for decades, so a repair usually buys many more years. A common guide is the 50 percent rule. If a repair costs more than half the price of a new washer, replacement often makes more sense, but Speed Queens rarely reach that point.
Where Do I Find My Speed Queen Model Number?
Your model number tells us the design, the parts, and whether your warranty may still apply.
- Top loaders: on a label under the lid or on the back of the console
- Front loaders: on a label around the door opening
- Newer model numbers begin with the series, such as TC5 or TR7
Keep your purchase date handy too, for the warranty check.

Common Speed Queen Repairs We See in Albany Homes
These are typical scenarios, based on how Speed Queen calls usually play out in local homes.
Delaware Avenue Home: Still Under Warranty
A three year old TR7 stops draining. We check the warranty, find it is covered, and point the owner to Speed Queen at no cost to them.
South End Building: Shared Laundry Room
An older Speed Queen in a shared basement laundry will not drain. Coins and a bobby pin jam the pump. Clearing them gets it back in service.
West Hill Home: Old Dial Machine
A decades-old Speed Queen skips the spin. The timer contacts are worn. A new timer gives it years more life.
