Washing Machine Repair

Soooo, as part of my research when buying our washer a couple years ago, I discovered that Speed Queen was getting a bad rap for the newest series of their machines (TR models), which were designed for efficiency and to meet water use guidelines.

What they did, however, is bring back the "classic" TC5 with an "eco" mode that met the water guidelines while every other mode is what their original machine offered.

We have it, and it's awesome—huge loads done in 35 minutes! And, maybe because we replaced an older machine, we never noticed any water use difference (and use cold for everything).

So, Dan, if you're looking for the classically-built Speed Queen, you'll be looking for the TC5. It still uses a digital panel rather than analogue knobs, but the machine itself is the bulletproof one SQ built its reputation on.

Think,

The TC-5 is the one we are looking at and is in stock. It does use knobs and has no digital readout panel that I can see and that is what we want. Also has no locking cover which is another feature my wife wants.

Thanks!

I probably should've been more clear about the panel: it has knobs to adjust cycles, etc. but they are digital and have electronic touch buttons for start, deep fill, etc. You can see the black buttons/press pads (middle) in this photo.

I would've loved a completely analog machine, but *sigh* it was not to be.

The machine is an animal, though. Enjoy!

Thanks Think!

That makes sense….

Just talked to Barons and we have new appliances being delivered to Glendale Docks on Saturday. They will not deliver or install on islands.

Oh thanks so much for that, it's good to know. So if anybody does decide on the SQ we just need to be careful of the model. Yup, no surprise government regulations mess everything up. They think they are saving us from the world or the world from us and it ends up a bigger mess.
