Know Your Speed Queen Dryer
How Speed Queen Dryers Are Built
The dryer has a motor overload protector that trips on overheating and resets after the motor cools for about 10 minutes. Source: Speed Queen (Alliance Laundry Systems) - User's Guide for Dryers
Automatic Auto-Sensing cycles end based on load dryness, so very small loads should use Time Dry instead. Source: Speed Queen (Alliance Laundry Systems) - User's Guide for Dryers
What Speed Queen Says to Check First
- Odors on clothes. Speed Queen notes the dryer draws in room air, so air out the laundry room before drying. Source: Speed Queen (Alliance Laundry Systems) - User's Guide for Dryers
- Dryer won't start. Speed Queen says to check that the plug is seated, the door is closed and the timer knob is pushed in, then check fuses or breakers and wait 10 minutes if the motor overload has tripped. Source: Speed Queen (Alliance Laundry Systems) - User's Guide for Dryers
Signs Your Speed Queen Dryer Needs a Technician

What Alabaster Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Alabaster come down to the same handful of parts: the vent and lint path, the heat source, the belt and rollers, and the door and start switches.
Alabama does not issue a separate appliance repair license, and the state's heating, air conditioning and refrigeration contractor law expressly excludes work on household appliances, residential refrigerators and ice machines. Source: Code of Alabama 1975, Section 34-31-18 et seq. (Alabama Board of Heating, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Contractors)
Gas fitting work in Alabama requires a state gas fitter license from the Alabama Plumbers and Gas Fitters Examining Board, which tests competency before anyone performs, supervises or contracts gas fitting. Source: About the Board - Alabama Plumbers and Gas Fitters Examining Board
