How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the washer. Expect water spillage when opening the pump area.
- 1. Access pump filter: Many Speed Queen front-loaders have a service panel for the pump filter. Place a shallow pan and towels, then slowly open the filter cap.
- 2. Remove debris: Clear coins, lint, and foreign objects from the filter and pump housing.
- 3. Check impeller: Ensure the impeller spins freely and is not broken. Replace the pump if damaged.
- 4. Inspect drain hose: Verify the hose is not kinked or blocked. Flush with water if needed.
- 5. Electrical test: Measure pump coil resistance. Replace the pump if the coil is open or shorted.
