Our DC dryer in Pinole Valley takes two cycles to dry a load. What is wrong?

Check the lint screen and the exhaust first. If airflow is good, we test the element, the thermal parts and the motor speed, since worn brushes can slow the drum and a failing high-limit can cut the heat too early.

Is it worth fixing a Speed Queen that came with our Old Town house?

Almost always. These machines are built to be serviced and the common repairs are modest. The one exception is a gearbox failure on a TC or TR past fifteen years, and even then we put the cost next to a new machine so you decide.

Does EBMUD water cause fill problems on Speed Queen washers in Pinole?

Rarely. EBMUD water is soft to moderate, so the inlet valve screens take a long time to clog. A slow fill here is more often a supply valve not fully open or a kinked hose.

Speed Queen in Pinole

Speed Queen in Pinole kitchens.

Pinole Valley is mostly medium and large single-family homes with three bedrooms and up. A Speed Queen dryer in a house that size racks up hours, and on the higher-mileage DC and DR units the motor brushes are a wear part. As they shorten, the motor may hesitate to start or run rough, and eventually the drum stops turning.

We test the motor before condemning it, because new brushes often put a sound motor back in service. On the electric versions, the heating element is the other common part. Our technician covering Pinole is based in Benicia. The $99 diagnostic is credited toward the repair, with the quote in writing before any work.

Common repairs we handle.

Worn motor brushes on a high-mileage DC dryer. A drum that starts slowly, runs rough or will not turn at all on an older DC or DR can come down to worn brushes. We test the motor, replace the brushes when that is the fault, and run a full timed dry to confirm.
Electric dryer with no heat. The heating element on the electric DC and DR can burn open after years of use. We meter it along with the thermal fuse and the high-limit, replace the failed part, and confirm heat at the exhaust.
Drive belt worn on a hard-working TC. A TC washing several loads a day wears its drive belt sooner than one washing two a week. When the spin weakens or the belt squeals, we replace it with the right part and check the pulleys.
