Probably a shorted heating element, bad motor, or shorted wiring.

My speed queen dryer is displaying push search 99 what does that mean

The message "Push Search 99" displayed on your Speed Queen dryer typically indicates that the dryer is in the diagnostic mode. This mode is used by technicians to troubleshoot and diagnose any potential issues with the dryer's operation.
To exit the diagnostic mode and resume normal operation, you can try the following steps:
  1. Press and hold the "Start" button or the "Cancel" button on your dryer's control panel for approximately 3 to 5 seconds. This should exit the diagnostic mode and return the dryer to normal operation.
  2. If the above step doesn't work, try powering off the dryer by unplugging it from the power source or turning off the circuit breaker that supplies power to the dryer. Leave it powered off for a few minutes, and then plug it back in or turn the circuit breaker back on. This can sometimes reset the control panel and clear any error messages.

Speed queen washing machine model number awne82sp11two1 stuck on cycle

If your Speed Queen washing machine is stuck on a cycle, there could be a few different issues causing the problem. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Check the power supply and make sure that the washing machine is properly plugged in and receiving power.
  2. Check the fuse or circuit breaker to make sure that the washing machine is not tripping any electrical circuits.
  3. Make sure that the washing machine is not paused or paused on a cycle that is longer than usual. If the machine is paused, simply press the start button to resume the cycle.
  4. Make sure that the washing machine door is properly closed and latched. If the door is not properly closed, the machine may not start or may get stuck on a cycle.

MY maytag neptune dryer center wont start when I press the start button on the bottom unit it shows PF

The PF is a power failure code and it indicates the control is not sensing any line voltage
Check the circuit breaker for the dryer is not tripped. The PF could be caused by a voltage drop during a storm but you should be able to clear it and run the dryer

I have a Speed Queen dryer that just stopped last night. There appears to be no power getting to the unit--dryer does not start, light does not come on, timer does not advance--yet the circuit breaker...

Hello

Is there power at the dryer receptacle? Is the dryer wired directly or does wire from electrical breaker go to a receptacle first? Have it checked with a meter. If unit is wired directly have it changed to a receptacle and cord. Make sure there is power at the connections on the dryer. If everything is okay, then it is a dryer problem

Speed queen gas dryer will not start up. When i try to turn on the dryer it causes the breaker to trip off.

My first thought is the motor start capacitor. This 'kicks' the motor up to speed. If it shorts, the unit will blow the breaker.

Make sure that the drum turns easily by pulling on the belt. If not, find out why...that's the problem.

Make sure the unit is unplugged before starting any work!
