What a Speed Queen Dryer Technician Deals With
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

- Clothes not drying well. Speed Queen points first to the exhaust and weather hood and the lint filter, then to the dryness or time setting and separating heavy items from light ones. Source: Speed Queen (Alliance Laundry Systems) - User's Guide for Dryers
