In coin-operated Speed Queen washers, a coin error can manifest in a few ways:

• Washer Won't Start: The washer might not activate or begin the wash cycle if it doesn't register enough coins or the correct denominations.
• Error Light or Code: Some models might display a specific error code related to coin malfunctions (consult your washer's manual for specific codes).

The error code E Ub2 (sometimes displayed as Er, Ub) on your Speed Queen washer indicates a Fatal Unbalance Error. This is a more severe type of unbalance error compared to the E Ub1 (Non-Fatal Unbalance Error) we discussed earlier.

Here's a breakdown of what it means, potential causes, and troubleshooting steps

Fatal Unbalance Error (E Ub2)

The washer detects a significant imbalance in the load during the spin cycle. Unlike the E Ub1 where the washer might attempt recovery, the E Ub2 error indicates the imbalance is too severe for the washer to handle safely. The washer stops the cycle completely to prevent potential damage.

The error code E Ub1 (sometimes displayed as Er, ub) on your Speed Queen washer indicates a Non-Fatal Unbalance Error. This is a specific type of unbalance error that the washer can potentially recover from.

Here's a breakdown of what it means, potential causes, and troubleshooting steps

Non-Fatal Unbalance Error (E Ub1)

Similar to the general Unbalance Error (E Ub), the washer detects an unevenly distributed load during the spin cycle. However, in this case, the washer might attempt to redistribute the load itself before stopping the cycle completely.

The error code E Ub (sometimes displayed as E:Ub or Er, Ub) on your Speed Queen washer indicates an Unbalance Error. This means the washer detects that the clothes load inside the drum is unevenly distributed.

Here's a breakdown of what it means, potential causes, and troubleshooting steps

Unbalance Error (E Ub)

The washer's spin cycle relies on a balanced load to function properly. If the clothes are clumped together on one side of the drum, it can cause excessive vibration and noise during the spin cycle. To prevent potential damage, the washer stops the cycle and displays the E Ub error code.

The error code E SP (sometimes displayed as E:SP or E SP) on your Speed Queen washer indicates a Serial Communication Error (SPI Error). This means the washer's control board is having trouble communicating with another critical component, most likely the motor control board.

Here's a breakdown of what it means, potential causes, and troubleshooting steps

Serial Communication Error (E SP)

The washer's central control board is unable to establish proper communication with the motor control board. This disrupts the flow of information necessary to control the motor and operate the washing cycle.

The error code E SH (sometimes displayed as E:SH or E SH) on your Speed Queen washer indicates a Shorted Temperature Sensor Error. This means the washer detects a problem with the sensor that monitors water temperature during wash cycles.

Here's a breakdown of what it means, potential causes, and troubleshooting steps

Shorted Temperature Sensor Error (E SH)

The washer identifies an electrical issue with the temperature sensor. Unlike an Open Temperature Sensor Error (E:oP), where the sensor isn't sending a signal, a shorted sensor creates an improper electrical connection within the system. This can disrupt the washer's ability to regulate water temperature accurately.

The error code E oP (sometimes displayed as E:oP or E OP) on your Speed Queen washer indicates an Open Temperature Sensor Error. This means the washer detects a problem with the sensor that monitors water temperature during wash cycles.

Here's a breakdown of what it means, potential causes, and troubleshooting steps

Open Temperature Sensor Error (E oP)

The washer cannot detect a reading from the temperature sensor. This prevents the washer from regulating water temperature accurately during wash cycles, potentially leading to clothes not being cleaned properly or damaged due to incorrect water temperature.

The error code you're looking for, displayed as E Ht, E:HT, or E:Ht on your Speed Queen washer, indicates a Heater Error. This code signifies an issue with the heating element responsible for warming the water during wash cycles.

Here's a breakdown of what it means, potential causes, and troubleshooting steps.

Heater Error (E Ht, E:HT, or E:Ht)

The washer detects a problem with the heating element. This can prevent the washer from reaching the desired water temperature for certain wash cycles.

The error code you've encountered on your Speed Queen washer can be displayed in three formats: E FL, E:FL, or Er, FL. All three signify the same issue: Fill Error (E:FL).

Here's a breakdown of what it means, potential causes, and troubleshooting steps

Fill Error (E:FL)

The washer is unable to fill with water to the proper level during a wash or rinse cycle. This can prevent the washer from starting or completing the cycle.

The error code E dr (sometimes displayed as E:dr) on your Speed Queen washer indicates a Drain Error. This means the washer is having trouble draining the water from the tub after a wash cycle. Here's a breakdown of what it means, potential causes, and troubleshooting steps

Drain Error (E dr)

The washer is unable to remove the water effectively during the draining process. This can prevent the washer from completing the wash cycle and leave your clothes soaked.
