Speed Queen Dryer Symptoms and First Checks
- 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
- 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
Speed Queen Dryer Problems Worth a Service Call

What Waco Owners Should Know
Most dryer calls in Waco 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.
Texas has no separate appliance repair license; under the Plumbing License Law, appliance dealers and their employees may install and service appliances (other than water heaters) without a plumbing license when hooking up to existing openings with a code-approved appliance connector, while other gas or water piping work generally requires a plumbing license. Source: Plumbing License Law, Tex. Occ. Code ch. 1301, ยง1301.053 (Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners)
In Texas, you can check a license with the Texas plumbing Public License Search or report a problem to the Texas Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division.
