My belt gets in tomorrow and glad I found your video! Quick, easy and while I know I could have figured it out, you took all the guess work out of it. Thanks!
So our washer wouldn't spin or drain so we replaced the belt and they pulley (that was broken). Now it sounds like it is seizing when time to spin. The belt is moving very slowly, sometimes slipping and the motor is starting to smoke as its trying to spin. Any ideas as to what I do next?
Hi friend. My washing machine completely rotates the entire internal tank during washing and does not perform the washing operation correctly. what could be happening?
Hi our 220V motor started to smoke and so we removed the motor and found black residue on the copper windings also the belt was worn to shreds my question what could have caused this problem ?
Hi Simon, the black residue is from the belt. From the friction and heat of the motor, the belt melted but i wouldn't worry about the residue. Just clean it off. It sounds like it may be overloaded or a bad/worn pulley. Replace the pulley if it's not turning perfectly smooth. The belts usually last about 6-7 years.
@@appliancerepairshortsmy situation ended up being that the center of the pump melted to the shaft and became glued to the shaft. I struggled for about an hour carefully wedging and extracting with a long flathead in order to break the melted plastic, but proved successful. Thank you so much.
To make sure I understand what you’re saying. The washer doesn’t spin in any cycle? So I would check the belt, the idler pulley. Remove the front cover and remove the drain pump. See now if it spins. Do you hear a humming? A bad capacitor. You can also check for power going to the motor. Send a model number. How is your lid switch?
Thanks for the video! Got a question for you, what if the motor doesn’t spin at all when we switch it on, the belt is relatively okay/still on track BUT when I hit spin all it doesn’t is drain water, thanks!
Sorry I didn’t see your comment. You can also email me. Your question wasn’t too clear. If it is not spinning, check the lip switch, but also check for obstruction in the pump or the belt could be worn out also you have a capacitor, if you put it on spin and are able to partially spin by hand. If it spins, replace the capacitor. Hopefully you already got it
Olá boa tarde eu tenho uma speedqueen lavadora ela só lava mais na primeira lavagem ela não centrifuga entra a centrifugação e para e começa a entra água ae ela não enxaguar?
Help. I installed the belt and before this installation it never leaked. Now after the installation it leaks from the top. Rim. Also now only blinks and beeps 3x
I would need a model number. The leaking is probably from the drip rail edge. You might have soap scum blocking the drainage and it is spilling over. I’ll tag you in a speed Queen maintenance video.
Impressive troubleshooting skills! We'd love to help you fix the issue with our advanced washer models. Reach out to us for a seamless spinning experience!,
can the brake stop the spinning . my machine spin the motor works but the maim shaft dont turn. i havent used machine for a whilev cac the brake be the problem. thank you
How old is your washer? You might have a brake that isn’t releasing. Try tapping it with a rubber mallet. Or you might have something caught in the pump or clothing in between the inner and outer basket
How does the rod that puts tension on the belt assembly work My speed queen is spinning sometimes and some times not like the rod isnt moving to put tension on it some of the time what do i need to look into to fix that? Belt is fairly new. Spring on tensioner is kind of new although it only pulls it back its not for putting tension
I think you might have the belt on the wrong way. Or it it too big. When you say the belt is new, why are you changing it. What was the original problem?
@@appliancerepairshorts so the washer has been working with the same belt for over a year now. It was a while back when I replaced it. Has been used on daily basis It appears to be on the tensioner and pullys. I felt it with my hand and looked at it I can put the washer on a spin cycle. Sometimes it goes into spin but most of the time only pumps. No spin. **BUT IF I MANUALLY MOVE THE TENSIONER WITH MY HAND IT SUDDENLY STARTS SPINNING** at that point it will spin until cycle is over. I've looked a bit online but haven't found anyone experiencing this so far. If you think it would help I could upload a video of the inside of washer while it's operating so you can see what I mean
@@appliancerepairshorts I'm not changing it. What I meant was it was changed in the past the other one was freyd real bad so my point is that it's not a worn out belt causing it to slip. Spring was also replaced a year or so ago but washer has been used probably 100 times since then
@@appliancerepairshorts I think the spring tension is good but I haven't taken it apart and physically checked the spring but I did look at it. I'm out of town till 25th. I will definitely upload a vid and email it to you when I am back. I appreciate you taking the time to get back to me!
With the pump still on , a man’s large hands will not fit behind the capacitor and behind that belt! My hubby had me in there trying to help. My hands fit all the way in but once I found where the dang top should hang I could not push down hard enough to set the clamp! After a long long time trying hubby finally took the motor out. Whew! Running like a speed Queen!
Not sure what you are trying to say here. I’m the tech here explaining what happened. The belt can break for many reasons, but not from a bad transmission. Belts break from bad or frozen pumps or something that causes the basket to be stuck. A bad transmission is the opposite and the washer will operate, but the agitator is not moving.
@ I had the same problem on my washing machine. The transmission was stuck, it didn't move and the belt broke, we changed the belt, the same thing happened again, we changed the transmission and everything was fine. and you are right about that
Thank you so much. Clips were a pain. Took me a whole 10 minutes
Nice training video, I have to replace mine tomorow, washer not ringing out clothes at spin, due to belt streched or weak spring. Replacing both.
Buy the belt kit, replace the idler and spring.
Thank you for your practican lesiona. VERY USEFULL AND INSTRUCTIVE!
My belt gets in tomorrow and glad I found your video! Quick, easy and while I know I could have figured it out, you took all the guess work out of it. Thanks!
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching!
@@appliancerepairshorts thanks for posting! Literally took me less than 5 minutes to install the new belt and start tackling my laundry pile lol

Check your email I responded. Thanks
same here what's the fix
I having the same problem did you find out what was wrong
Show us how you got the left pump support back on! Impossible!
You push down on the center as you pull up on the bottom. The same way as the front clip
So this could be a reason why my speed queen sometimes doesn’t spin during wash cycles?
Yes remove the front cover and check your belt. If you want to send me your model number I’ll find your belt part number
Hi friend. My washing machine completely rotates the entire internal tank during washing and does not perform the washing operation correctly.
what could be happening?
Hi, how are you? So how old is your speed Queen? Get me a model number. Can it spin?

How did you remove the pump so easily? It feels like there is something else securing the pump to the motor
You can do it also, press the center down as you pull the end. Thanks for watching.
@@appliancerepairshortsmy situation ended up being that the center of the pump melted to the shaft and became glued to the shaft. I struggled for about an hour carefully wedging and extracting with a long flathead in order to break the melted plastic, but proved successful. Thank you so much.
If the clips are missing does it have screws holding it up? No clips and it won't come free
Probably not, but you would have to order special screws. You would have to have the screw holes in the pump feet. Or just order the clips. Good luck
What are all symptoms that could cause the speed queen washer not to spin only and agitate only and both agitate and spin.
