Slow rinse water addition (Speed Queen) - Solved
Posted on 10/9/26 at 8:57 am
Posted on 10/9/26 at 8:57 am
I’ve got a Speed Queen washer from 15 years ago or more. The water addition at the start is fine - large stream of water whether hot, cold, or warm. Fills quickly. The water addition for the rinse cycle is just trickling in. Seems to be a recent issue according to my wife.
What could possibly cause this disparity in water flow?

The volume of rinse water can depend on the cycle selection. Also, your wife may have only just noticed the difference and there is nothing really wrong.

1. Check your inlet screens. Sediment can settle out when no water is flowing and build back up as water flows.
2. Follow the diagnostic procedure for the water valve, it could be a weak or sticking coil
3. Follow the diagnostic procedure for the timer, which sends signal to the coils on the water valve.

Something has been wrong with the mixing valve or however it works since I bought mine. The temps just seem mixed up but I really only wash on cold so I haven't got it fixed. Not sure what sort of mechanism it uses but maybe it's a similar issue.

Found out today I was wrong. Cold water is slow also. I thought I tested that the other day, but maybe I didn’t set it properly and fooled myself. Will look at it once this load is done.

Are the hot and cold water supply hoses reversed? The hot and cold sides of the mixing valve have electromagnetic coils that receive voltage to open them to allow flow. Assuming it's hooked up correctly and there are no restrictions, you should verify the coils are working, check the signal and work backwards from there to the temp selector or timer while checking the wiring along the way.

No. They arent swapped.

Mixing valve.
My model looked like this
look up the manual for your model and find the parts list.
Amazon will have several versions of the same one with aftermarket stuff as well as original.
Changed mine twice in the 12-15 yrs it has been around.
Yutube is your friend for changing it.
Do clean the screens in the hose ends. I took them out and attached it to the source and ran some water through the hose to remove any debris, cleaned screens and put them back in. The mixing valve may have a screen on the inlet side as well.

Problem solved. Unplugged washing machine, disconnected lines, inspected them, found no pluggage in the screens of the lines or the valves. Unscrewed mixing valve to inspect closer, but did not disconnect. Called Action Appliance to see if they had the part. They did not. Said they would order it Monday (too late today to do it). I put it all back together and tested the washer. Worked perfect. Called Action and cancelled order. He said sometimes unplugging the washer resets it.
Who knew? Not me.
Thanks for all the help.

If you do need parts, LINK has a location on industriaplex in BR. They stock a lot of OEM parts cheaper than Amazon or other places online.
You cannot walk in and order though. You have to order online, walk in about, 30-40 min later and it will be on the will call shelf.

I found them online, but it was too late today to check with them. Good to know how they work though.

Nice. "Cycle Power" was often used in my time working with anything electronic.
Hopefully it stays fixed.

Too much electronic BS.
Thanks for posting the resolution OP.

Agreed….and it doesn’t improve dependability or cleaning, so there is no reason to have it….

Washers have had electromagnetic coils for inlet valves since the 60s.
They stick they get gunked up.
