  To address a Speed Queen Washer that won't fill, ensure the power cord is fully plugged into the outlet. Check that both hot and cold water faucets are turned on and that the fill hoses aren't kinked or twisted. Also, pull the timer knob to start the washer and verify the controls are correctly set. Make sure the last spin cycle has finished. Examine the house fuse or circuit breaker. Clean the screens in the water mixing valve and the filter screens at the faucet end of the fill hoses. Finally, ensure the drain hose is properly installed to prevent water from siphoning during the cycle.

  Bill KelleyAug 26, 2025
  To resolve a Speed Queen Washer that is leaking water, check that the fill hoses are properly installed on both the faucets and the washer's water mixing valve. It's also recommended to replace the fill hoses every five years. Ensure the drain receptacle isn't clogged and inspect the house plumbing. The laundry load may be oversudsing or overloaded, so use less detergent (or a low-sudsing detergent) and ensure proper load sizes.

  If your Speed Queen Washer won't spin, make sure the lid is closed and pull the timer knob out to start the washer. Check that the power cord is fully plugged into the electrical outlet and inspect the house fuse or circuit breaker. The motor overload protector may have stopped the cycle; it will reset itself in two or three minutes and restart the washer automatically. If the drive belt is broken, call a service person.

Why is my Speed Queen AWN432S Washer so noisy?

  Pamela IngramSep 1, 2025
  If your Speed Queen Washer is too noisy, the wash load might be unbalanced; open the lid and redistribute the load. Make sure the washer is level, as uneven leveling can cause vibration. A newly installed washer may make a knocking sound if it has been in storage; run the washer through 4-5 cycles to loosen the belt. This will not affect washer operation.

Why does my Speed Queen AWN432S keep stopping during the cycle?

  Scott AdamsSep 4, 2025
  If your Speed Queen Washer stops or pauses during a cycle, note that pauses are a normal part of the washer's operation, especially shortly before the wash and rinse spins. However, you should also check the house fuse or circuit breaker. The motor overload protector may have stopped the cycle; it will reset itself in a few minutes and restart the washer automatically.

  mgilbertSep 8, 2025
  If the load from your Speed Queen Washer is too wet, the wash load may be unbalanced; open the lid and redistribute the load. The load might also be too small, so add items to make a full load. Ensure the correct spin speed is selected for the type of items being washed, if this option is available on your model.

Why is my Speed Queen AWN432S Washer using the wrong water temperature?
- G
  ggomezSep 12, 2025
  If your Speed Queen Washer is dispensing the wrong water temperature, make sure that the controls are properly set. Check the fill hoses to ensure the hot faucet hose is connected to the hot mixing valve (indicated with “H” on the valve bracket) and the cold faucet is connected to the cold mixing valve (indicated with “C” on the valve bracket). Also, make sure your house water heater is adjusted properly.
