Speed Queen TR7000WN Top Load Washer

by Speed Queen

Speed Queen's TR7000WN top-load washer, a newer PCB-controlled model in the Speed Queen top-load lineup.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

Contrary to Speed Queen's mechanical-reliability reputation, owners report the TR7000WN's electronic control board failing quickly — one washer wouldn't clean clothes from day one, another started squeaking within a month and threw a motor-control error code.

    I bought the TR7000WN and DR7000WG in 2018. The washer didnt clean. At all.

    Many others TC5 / TR7 all have modern PCB control boards that are subject to failure like a cheapie from the box store.

    Bought the TR7 washer and DR7 dryer two months ago. The washer started squeeking like a hamster wheel after 1 month.
