Speed Queen Commercial Washer takes too long
When your Speed Queen Commercial washer is taking too long to wash, start by checking that both the hot and cold water supply valves are fully open. Closed or partially open valves can make the washer take too long to fill or delay the start of the cycle. If the water supply is correct, a faulty heating element may be preventing the washer from reaching the required temperature, extending the wash time. Test the heating element for electrical continuity with a multimeter and replace it if it fails. A defective water inlet valve is another possible cause of a washer taking too long to wash, especially if the washer fills slowly or does not fill at all. Confirm that household water pressure is adequate, then clean the inlet valve screens at the hose connections. If filling remains slow, replace the water inlet valve. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement heating element or water inlet valve for your Speed Queen Commercial washing machine.
01 - Water supply valve turned off
Confirm that both the hot and cold water supply valves are fully open. If the valves are closed or partially open the washer won't fill or will take longer to start the wash cycle.
Highly Likely
02 - Speed Queen Commercial Washing Machine Heating Element
Many washers use a heating element to raise the temperature of the water entering the tub. A defective element may cause the washer to take too long to clean its load. You can use a multimeter to test the heating element for electrical continuity. If the element tests negative for continuity, you'll know the heating element is faulty and will need to be replaced.

03 - Speed Queen Commercial Washing Machine Water Inlet Valve
The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the washing machine. If the water inlet valve is defective, the wash may fill slowly or not fill at all. The water inlet valve requires sufficient water pressure to function properly. First, check the water pressure to determine that it is adequate. If the water pressure is adequate, try cleaning the screens inside the water inlet valve hose connection ports. If the washer still fills slowly, replace the water inlet valve.
