Speed Queen Commercial Washer damaging clothes
Is your Speed Queen Commercial washer damaging clothes? Tearing fabric, or leaving snags during the wash or spin cycle, inspect the washer's interior before running another load. The most likely cause is a damaged drum assembly or inner tub. Run a cloth slowly around the inside of the drum and tub. If it catches on a sharp edge, replace the damaged assembly. Next, inspect the drum baffle for cracks, breaks, or jagged edges, since a broken baffle can catch and rip clothing. A cracked or broken agitator or washplate can also cause washing machine damage during agitation and spinning. Use a flashlight to check for screws, nails, or other objects stuck in the tub area, agitator, or baffles, and remove anything you find. If an object has damaged an interior part, that component may need replacement. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement drum assembly, inner tub, drum baffle, agitator assembly, washplate, or other part for your specific Speed Queen Commercial washing machine. Always unplug the washer before servicing it, and check the affected part carefully before ordering.
