    How to reduce noise from a Speed Queen ?

      If your Speed Queen Dryer is making unusual noises, check for foreign objects like nails, coins, bobby pins, metal, or plastic toys inside the dryer and remove them. Ensure the dryer is level, as uneven leveling can cause vibration. Keep in mind that normal operating sounds include the tick of the timer advancing, the heat source going on and off, and the humming of air moving through the dryer and exhaust system.

      If clothes are coming out of your Speed Queen Dryer too wrinkled, check the heat setting, as overdrying can cause wrinkling. Also, consider the load size; large loads may not tumble properly, which can also lead to wrinkling.

      If your clothes have an odor after drying in your Speed Queen Dryer, check the room for odors before drying. Any odor (like fried foods, paint, varnish, cleaners, or burning wood) will transfer to clothing as the dryer draws air from the room. Ventilate the room before drying clothes.

    Why does the cycle on my Speed Queen Dryer advance too slowly?
    • J
      John BrockSep 18, 2025
      Automatic cycles on your Speed Queen dryer advance slower than the Time Dry cycle. The time it takes for the timer to advance in an Automatic cycle depends on the type and size of the load. When clothing has more moisture, the timer advances slower than when the clothes are more dry.
