What Speed Queen Says to Check First
- Clothes wrinkled. Speed Queen recommends a lower heat setting to avoid over-drying and smaller loads so items can tumble freely. Source: Speed Queen (Alliance Laundry Systems) - User's Guide for Dryers
- Dryer not heating. Speed Queen says to check both fuses or breakers on electric models, make sure the dryer isn't in cool-down or set to no heat, confirm the gas valves are open on gas models, and look for a kinked or blocked exhaust or stuck hood flapper.
