Product review (1 stars): I really wanted to love this washer
Broke down on 5/10/15 and is at the second repair shop still on 9/9/15, washer was 1 1/2 years old at time of first break down. First let me say that I did not buy the Speed Queen washer on Amazon. Mine is a slight upgrade from the one listed here. My washer model #AWN1542S.top load washer. I really wanted to love this washer, it took me awhile to talk my wife into this "supposed" super high quality washer from the beautiful LG front loader she wanted. To make a very LONG story as short as possible. On 5/10/15 my 1 1/2 year old washer broke down making a horrible noise. Called speed queen (still under warranty) they gave me several #'s to approved repair shops. Several days latter they show up must take machine to shop, many days later they call that transmission is bad and must order part. OK I am fine up at this point, all is unfortunate but it happens. But the leak that was caused by the transmission seal has warped my 6 month old wood floor. "Sorry I did say I would make it short". In conclusion; the machine just had it's 3rd transmission installed along with new seals and other misc parts.
A less than a two year old machine has been down for 4 months and the best Speed queen is willing to do is add an additional year to the existing warranty. On a positive note, the second repair shop have given us a loaner until repaired. I will be selling it as soon as I get it back.
