Sped Queen motor overload

20 year old Speed Queen. When I pull the timer knob, the agitator wont move and the motor buzzes and trips the overload protection. The Agitator is free to move. This is the same on every cycle, agitation or spin. It will intermittently work after a while but eventually the motor trips and will not make it through a complete wash cycle.

SOURCE: Agitator not turning during cycle

Well, it sounds like you've done your homework. My first suspect would have been the agitator dogs too, but you said they were fine. Another likely suspect would have been the motor coupler, but you said the washer spins during the spin cycle. If the coupler was bad the unit would fill, but wouldn't agitate or spin. Plus, it would make an awful noise. I would have also suspected a clutch assembly, but you said the wash tub can spin. Normally, when the clutch goes bad, the drum won't spin, or spins slow. Another suspect could have been a bad lid switch, but the washer would have filled and stopped, without agitating or spinning. The only remaining suspect that I'm aware of is the gear case (transmission). Checking under the washer can give you some clues. Normally, when a gear case starts to go bad, they leak an amber colored oil. You may find puddles or drips under the washer. If you see no signs of oil the gear case could still be defective, however. But, before you go through all the trouble, double check the agitator one more time. Completely remove it from the tub and check the under side to ensure the grooves that grip the top of the gear case shaft have not been worn smooth. I hope this may have been some help to you.

Possible your outlet filter is blocked. This requires cleaning depending on your usage. Clean this out and refit. Good luck. Plug off the wall first.

SOURCE: GE washer GNSR2140A0WW wont spin/agitate but fills and drains

Hello, your problem is going to be with the lids switch, in this machine it is going to be a magnetic contact. You can confirm this my pulling the front panel off and accessing the wireing to the lids switch, If you have electrical knowledge bypass the lid switch using a wire nut and run the machine. If all is ok make sure you relpace the lid switch since it is there for a reason. If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to comment again. Good Luck!!!

I have speed queen commerical washer top loader, last night it stopped agitating. What could be the problem?

  • Make sure lid is closed.
  • Pull timer knob out to start washer.
  • Make sure power cord is plugged all the way into the electrical outlet.
  • Check the house fuse or circuit breaker.
  • The motor overload protector may have stopped the cycle. It will reset itself in two or three minutes and restart the washer automatically.
  • Broken drive belt. Call the service person.
  • These are a few possiblities and steps to take for further analysis

    Queen marathon 20 years old does not pump the

    If the motor is running then the water pump or the clutch to it has failed. If the motor is not running, the motor has failed. Both fixes are probably too expensive for a 20 year old machine. Unless you are very handy and resourceful it may be time for a new machine.

    Series 70 fills wit water stops then makes a slight buzzing sound

    The electric motor my have failed or a part called a capacitor could be the problem? The capacitor is part of the starting circuit of the electric motor, if this fails the motor will not start therefore the washing machine won't spin or agitate.
