Commercial Speed Queen Washing Machine - Pump Repair

30th July 2025

We were recently called to a commercial site where a Speed Queen washing machine had stopped draining water. This was causing delays for the business, as the machine was out of action and unable to complete its cycles properly.

After a thorough inspection, we discovered the issue was a broken pump belt. Without this belt, the pump could not remove water from the machine as designed.

Replacing the belt was a little challenging due to the machine’s configuration, but with the right tools and know-how, we successfully fitted the new part. To extend its life and ensure smooth operation, we also treated the belt with a conditioner designed for this purpose.

Once the repair was complete, the washing machine pumped water efficiently and was back in use for the customer’s daily operations.
