Speed Queen Washer won't stop

If your Speed Queen washer won't stop, first check for water siphoning from the tub. The drain hose outlet should end 30 to 36 inches above the floor in a standpipe or laundry tub. A hose positioned too low, sealed tightly at the standpipe, or pushed too far down the pipe can cause the washing machine to keep filling and draining, making it seem like the cycle will not end. If the washer drains normally, a defective control board is the most likely part-related cause. Inspect the control board for burn marks or shorted components, although it cannot be tested easily. The main control board can cause the same washer not stopping problem and should also be checked for visible damage. A faulty timer is less common, but you can test it with a multimeter while following the wiring diagram. Always disconnect power before inspecting or testing parts. Enter your Speed Queen washer model number to find the exact replacement control board, main control board, or timer for your machine. The model number ensures you order a part that fits your specific washing machine.

01 - Water siphoning from tub

If the water is siphoning from the tub the outlet end of the drain hose is likely lower than the water level in the tub. The drain hose should terminate between 30 inches to 36 inches (77 centimeters to 92 centimeters) above the floor, depending on the model, in a standpipe or laundry tub. If the drain hose is sealed at the top of the standpipe or excess hose is pushed too far down into the pipe, siphoning can also occur.

02 - Speed Queen Washing Machine Timer

If the washer can successfully drain the water from the tub then a defective timer could be responsible for the washer not stopping. You can test the timer by using a multimeter and consulting the wiring diagram. If the timer is defective, replace it.
