Speed Queen SWT921 Top Load Washer Questions & Answers
Washer motor overheating
Check the drum for ease of rotation, bearing noise. Make sure all support springs are good and at the same position.
White residue on clothes
Common usage things to check:
- Detergent formulation
Make sure you're using high quality detergent that contains both sodium carbonate and aluminosilicates. They'll be listed on the ingredient list.
- Amount of detergent
The detergent amounts given on the usage label of the detergent box are for average water hardness (4-9 gpg). If your water is harder than average, or if your clothes are really dirty, you'll need to use slightly more detergent than what's recommended on the box. If you have really hard water, you may need to add a packaged water conditioner to each load, such as Calgon® or Spring Rain®.
If your water is softer than normal, you'll create too many suds, which will retain gookus. In this case, you'd use slightly less detergent than recommended on the box.
- Cold water washing
If you wash clothes in cold water only, the cold water should be in the range of 65-75F. If it's too cold for your hands to comfortably be in the water, it's too cold to activate the detergent.
- Overloading
After the washer is loaded with clothes and then filled with water, there needs to be enough head room in the tub for the clothes to swish around in. A properly loaded washer has clothes loosely placed in the tub up to the top row of holes.
- Rinse-added fabric softener
Some fabric softeners and detergents have a chemical reaction that can create white deposits (also called 'gookus') on the clothes. Try switching brands of fabric softeners or detergents or not using fabric softener at all for a couple of loads.

Speed Queen SC30BC front load single phase 240 volts washer.
To diagnose the issue with the Speed Queen SC30BC washer, it's important to determine which component is causing the fuse to blow. Here are a few steps you can take to help identify the problem:
- Unplug the washer and visually inspect the wiring and components for any signs of damage, such as frayed wires or melted components.
- Check for any loose connections, and tighten them if necessary.
- Use a multimeter to measure the resistance across the wiring and components. If the resistance is very low, it may indicate a short circuit.
- Check the drain pump for any blockages or damage.
- Inspect the control board for any signs of damage or melted components.
- Test the door switch to make sure it is functioning properly.
- Test the water level control valve to make sure it is not stuck open and allowing excessive water into the washer.
