Speed Queen Commercial Washer clothes still wet at the end of cycle

If your Speed Queen Commercial washer leaves clothes still wet at the end of the cycle, the inner tub may not be spinning fast enough to extract water. The most likely cause is a worn clutch, which prevents the tub from reaching spin speed. Next, inspect the drive belt for looseness, damage, or breakage, since a belt that slips on the pulleys can cause a washer not to spin out water. A worn clutch band kit can produce the same symptom on applicable top load models. If the clutch and belt are in good condition, inspect the basket drive for worn clutch pads, stripped spin tube tabs, or a damaged drive block. A stripped hub can also keep the inner tub from spinning even when the transmission engages. Finally, check the motor control board for burned components and verify that it sends power to the motor. Unplug the washer before inspecting or replacing parts, and use your model number to find the exact replacement clutch, drive belt, basket drive, hub, clutch band kit, or motor control board for your specific Speed Queen Commercial washing machine.

04 - Speed Queen Commercial Washing Machine Basket Drive

The basket drive sits on top of the transmission and engages with the inner tub. If the transmission is engaging to spin, and the outer tub spins slowly or does not spin at all, the spin tube tabs may be stripped. Alternatively, the drive block on the spin tube may be stripped. Inspect both the spin tube tabs and the drive block. If the spin tube tabs and drive block are not worn out, the clutch pads on the basket drive are likely worn out. If the clutch pads are worn out, you must replace the basket drive.

05 - Speed Queen Commercial Washing Machine Hub

The hub is seated on top of the transmission and engages with the inner tub. If the transmission is engaged to spin, and the outer tub spins slowly or does not spin at all, the hub teeth may be stripped. Inspect the hub for damage or wear and replace if necessary.
Common

06 - Speed Queen Commercial Washing Machine Motor Control Board

The motor control board provides power to the motor. If the motor control board is defective, the washer may not function properly or may not work at all. First, check the control board for burned out components. To determine if the motor control board is defective, ensure that the control board is providing power to the motor. If the control board has power, but is not providing power to the motor, replace it.
