Product review (1 stars): We got a dud
We have had this washer for less than a year.  The repair man has been out at least 4 times, twice for socks that got stuck and caused a burning smell. Luckily, we were home and could unplug it.  The third time was for a leak caused by a faulty part.  The latest time was for a rubbing sound when spinning for which he had to file down excess metal on the outside of the tub.  He also told my husband to only run full loads, which is not how we use the washer.  I sent an email to the Speed Queen customer service last week and have yet to hear back from them, so, not only is their washer bad, their customer service is, too.  While I love the fact that it's made in the US and has simple mechanics, the reliability and company responsiveness is poor.
