[quote=FlyerInHi]CAr, yes I know, whirlpool, GE (Haier), and Electrolux are the big 3 appliance companies + Samsung, LG, etc….
I don’t think speed queen even makes their own. I think they just use parts from other manufacturers for a commercial look. I have looked at repairmen fix machines at the laundromat in the condo complex where I have rental. It’s pretty much the same stuff with some different parts.
Electronics go bad more than mechanical because of water/heat. But trust me, motor, drums, etc… are the same.[/quote]
Speed Queen makes their own washers and dryers. They’ve been doing it for decades, and use higher quality materials because they specialize in commercial units (for laundromats and communal laundry rooms). The repair people will tell you that these are the highest-quality machines out there, and they weigh a lot more than their competitors’ machines because they are made of metal, not plastic. They also have mechanical knobs, as opposed to electronic control boards, making them much more durable.
I just wish they would make dishwashers and other appliances, too.
