Speed Queen TR3 / TR5 / TR7 top-load washer (2017+): quick sheet

Covers: Speed Queen (Alliance Laundry Systems) residential agitator top-loaders TR3, TR5 and TR7, product codes such as TR3003WN, TR5003WN, TR5006WN and TR7003WN (the label also carries a long model number, e.g. AWN63RSN119TW01 on the TR5006WN). One dealer source says the TR line came out in 2017 and replaced the AWN432SP (TR3), AWNE82SP (TR5) and AWNE92SP (TR7); confirm the date from the serial plate. Not covered: the TC5 'Classic' mechanical washer, which has its own sheet.

Cross-checkedBrands: Speed Queen5 components

These are commercial-style 3.2 cu ft agitator top-loaders with electronic controls and a lid lock. The TR3 and TR5 use knobs with status lights and report faults as flash patterns on pairs of status lights. The TR7 has a fuller display. Warranty runs 3, 5 or 7 years (parts and labor) by model, so check who is authorized before you bill a repair. Most calls are fill, drain, lid lock and out-of-balance complaints.

Safety first

Unplug before opening any panel.
Diagnostic mode runs the motor, valves and lock with panels on; keep hands out of the tub during agitation and spin tests.
Shut off the faucets before removing hoses or the inlet valve.
Check warranty status first: these units carry 3-7 years of parts and labor through authorized providers.

How it works

All three share a 3.2 cu ft stainless wash tub in a porcelain outer tub, an agitator and a variable-speed 1 HP motor. The TR models use a separate drive board for the motor, which is not the case on the TC5.

The lid lock is delayed: the lid stays unlocked during the first fill and agitate so items can be added, then locks. After a pause it unlocks in about 10 seconds during agitate, or up to about 60 seconds during spin (user's guide).

The washer does not heat water. Wash temperature comes from the house supply, so 'cold wash' complaints in winter can simply be the incoming water.

Faults show as status lights that flash a set number of times, pause, and repeat. Read which two lights are flashing and count the flashes before you open the cabinet.

A two-hand diagnostic mode on the TR3/TR5 (see below) checks every light, knob, valve, the lid lock, agitation, drain and spin, one step at a time.

Whirlpool family washers & dryers: reading F#E# codes, Service Diagnostic Mode and fault history

Whirlpool-family electronic laundry stores its last few faults as a pair: the F number names the system and the E number names the suspect part. Most knob-and-button consoles reach Service Diagnostic Mode by pressing three buttons in a set order three times in a row within a few seconds; newer touch consoles use a different entry. The exact buttons are on the tech sheet hidden in the console, so read it first and never guess.

Samsung washers & dryers: display codes vs information codes, SmartThings and Smart Care, and service-mode code history

Samsung splits codes into information codes (a user or installation condition such as swapped hot and cold hoses or an unlatched door) and real error codes. The same fault may read differently by generation: older machines used E-numbers or 4E-style codes, newer ones 4C-style, some top-loaders nF. Wi-Fi models push codes to SmartThings when they happen; Smart Care is a separate camera-based check that only reads its own test, not real codes. Many models also keep a stored-code list in a service mode whose buttons vary by model.

Washer routine service: tub-clean cycle, door boot, dispenser, pump filter and hoses (front and top load)

All the major brands build in a cleaning cycle and remind the user about once a month or every 20-40 loads: Whirlpool about every 30 cycles, LG after about 30 cycles ('tcL'), Samsung after 40 washes on front-loaders and 20 on top-loaders. A pro service adds what the cycle misses: the door boot, dispenser, drain pump filter on front-loaders and a hose inspection.

Whirlpool WTW6157P-series top-load washer with 2-in-1 removable agitator: quick sheet

Whirlpool WTW6157P** (WTW6157PW white, WTW6157PB Volcano Black; first engineering revision WTW6157PW0 seen in parts listings). ENERGY STAR lists it as available on the market from May 2023 (the 'P' letter is the 2023 model-year code in Whirlpool numbering). 5.3 cu ft US (DOE) class, about 6.1 cu ft IEC in Canada. The smaller WTW5057L** also carries a 2-in-1 removable agitator but differs in capacity (about 4.7-4.8 cu ft) and listed spin (about 770 rpm), and our sources do not confirm the two share the same agitator parts, so it is NOT covered here.
