Dryer works very good. Had to get used to how hot this one gets. Not sure I like the steam/wrinkle removal mode - it leaves water on the inside edge of the door when done.

Yes it works, but has I fixable problem. They outlet center cover heats every 6 months or so and starts to burn our clothes. We've only owned it a year and a half and we have had 2 service calls. Both techs said it's an on going problem and can not be fixed. Suggested using less heat and putting in less clothing. Which means we can really use our dryer like we had intended too. We are considering switch brands since all the dryers have this issue. We are severely disappointed.

After using my dryer for a little less than three months, the vent hose came loose from the dryer. The dryer has not moved since installation. Any retailer authorized by Speed Queen to sell the product ought to be competent enough to install it.

Off to a bad start

Replaced an aging Maytag washer and dryer which were on hospice. We wanted something simple, manual and would last a long time. Speed Queen seemed to be the best of the mediocre choices on the market.
After only six weeks of use, the dryer stopped heating. It would turn on and rotate, but zero heat. Took a few days to get a service person out, who fairly quickly determined that the thermal fuse had blown and there was a short in the heating element. Took a couple days to get the parts in and then a few more days to get the service person back out. It is working again and was all repaired under warranty, but failure after six weeks is not confidence inspiring.
There is also some question on how well the auto sensing is actually working. Have had the "near dry" cycle crisp some laundry and some "dry cycle" stuff come out not quite dry, even though the individual loads were composed of similar items.

Poorly Designed "Commercial-Grade" Dryer
mantramite
8/18/2022
My first foray into Speed Queen was thanks to recommendations from a few friends to replace my old non-Speed Queen washer and dryer. I purchased a matching set of the 5 series and within 10 days of purchase the heating element started going out on the dryer when using auto sense, and then it stopped heating up and drying on any setting. I sent back the unit to Electronic Express and upgraded to the DR7 series and it had the same issue, but it happened again about 6 months later. I think there's a flaw in the design because when you take a look underneath the DR5 series at least, you will find an exposed circuit board underneath the dryer drum in a black box. The engineers thought it was a good idea to house an exposed controller board down there and obviously didn't think through how it would affect it's performance. The top killer of electronics next to water is dust(lint) and heat, and this dryer supplies both. That circuit board was covered in lint in less than 10 days of ownership. This was after checking to make sure I had proper airflow and there wasn't anything choking off the exhaust vent. My TR5003WN washer's water sensor has gone bad since the initial purchase too, and I will have a similar review for that one as well. The other gripe I have about my purchase is the warranty process for repair. Speed Queen touts a long warranty period on what you purchase, but they can only be serviced by an approved repair center, of which most in my area require you to have purchased the appliance from them or they won't honor the warranty on Speed Queen's behalf. Overall, I really was hoping for a better experience and longevity with this and the washer I purchased, but so far they've been nothing but hassles to deal with and haven't lived up the the hype I've read or was told about. I'm pretty bummed.

So disappointed in this washing machine
Mom of 3 boys

So disappointed in this washing machine. I have found a spare queen my washing machine for the last 20 years and was very satisfied. We moved into a new home so I bought this new model. It has been nothing but problems since day one. We get three flashing lights on the control board all the time. The only way to get the machine to work is to unplug it and then plug it back in. We have had a repair man out three times to fix this machine.

Nice to make a major purchase of a product MADE IN AMERICA! We would be MUCH better off if we'd shut down trade and bring it all back home. Well known reputation for quality. The 5 year warranty is great - if it gets through the first five, they'll probably out live us. Dryer works just as one would expect - goes in wet, comes out dry! Easily clean lint trap. We're very happy with this and our new washer....

I don't know if it's the commercial nature or what, but this one is quite loud to operate. Otherwise, it does a really good job. The auto-sense drying is much better than the LG's it replaced.

Caution

Three months after installation our dryer experienced a meltdown. The door ajar alarm came on and stays on, the dryer can't be shutoff, the heat doesn't work nor do any of the controls. Customer service has been virtually no help and we've since gone back to the source of purchase for recommendation for repair service. Extremely disappointing as we purchased Speed Queen because of its reputation for reliability and durability.

Not too long ago we had purchased our Speed Queen washer (the companion model to the DR5003WE dryer), and I love it. It's simple to use, convenient, works well and American made, too! Once our old dryer became obsolete, we knew we wanted a Speed Queen dryer, and just as I am with our washer, I am well pleased with our new dryer. Again, it's simple to use (no dizzying array of buttons to push for features I would never use), reliable, and works well. We had friends recommend Speed Queen washers and dryers to us, and we would do the same for others.

This dryer has only has two timed drying settings: 30 minutes and 60 minutes, there is nothing in between. And since the dial does not move down to zero/shut off, you have no way of knowing how much time is left on the cycle. Looking at the dryer in the store I had no idea, nor was it obvious, that the dial did not slowly move down to zero. Also the cool down period only lasts three minutes. If you use the auto-sensing feature, you have no idea when the clothes are done except for minimally audible beeping are the end of the cycle. So while it functions as the manual explains, it is not a very user friendly dryer. For those reasons I would not purchase it again or recommend it.

From day one my Speed Queen dryer did not dry as well as my old Maytag. At four years the heat board died. Due to a national shortage, it was repaired until a new heating element was available. With that now replaced, it is working fine.

Had for 2 months and quit heating. That was 8 months ago and we are just now able to get parts. The warranty company is different than the place we purchased it and they are worthless. Had to buy a new dryer after spending so much. Now it's in storage and we have to get it out and move our other dryer out for them to come service this one. Very disappointed. Love my Speedqueen washer but will not buy this brand again.

I know this is a well made unit and a good warranty. However, after only 4 months we had to replace two electronic boards.
I wish I had bought the DR7. Having timed cycles limited to 30 and 60 minutes is not efficient as you sometimes either under or over dry the clothes. Oftentimes you only need 5 more minutes. The same for sensor dry. It can over dry the clothes, causing shrinkage.

This dryer seems to dry our clothes quickly. I wish it had a time setting between 30-60 minutes. Now on to our first repair. After only using the dryer for 1 week, we started hearing what sounded like a coin in the dryer. I removed the clothing to check for a coin..No coin, so I kept the clothing out and turned it back on, and still heard the sound. When the service person came, he noticed when the dryer was built, the upper bulkhead sheet metal was caught on the door panel frame, pushing top inward into the drum. It's was not aligned correctly when built. The service person had to bend it to adjust and reinstalled. We are very disappointed in paying this much money for a dryer and to have it build like that

Why I bought a new Speed Queen dryer.
Ronnie DeFord
5/24/2022
I bought a new Speed Queen dryer because the other Speed Queen dryer I bought 9 months ago with a 5 year warranty has a defective heating element. The defective heating element part is on back order. So, to continue to have dry clothes for my 2 toddlers I thought it was appropriate to buy a dryer that matches my washer. Whenever the replacement part arrives and is repaired, I will have a backup dryer. What a convenience!

Very disappointing features. Timing features only 30 and 60 minutes long.
When using this feature, I cannot tell how many minutes are left in the cycle.
Auto sensing cycle always leaves clothes damp and wrinkled.
This dryer was not worth the price. It is equal to a standard timer only dryer.

Owned a speed queen dryer for three months. Broke twice first time was repaired in four days. Two weeks later heating element went again. A month now waiting for heating element. So we have not been able to use our brand new speed queen dryer. Don't be fooled that this is the best on the market. Their excuse is supply chains. Their excuse is that this is how America works right now. When I asked for them extending my warranty for lack of use they said they don't do that. When I asked for an exchange they said they don't do that. So buyer beware speed queen it's not what you think it is. They are basically saying f u we have your money and we'll get to you when we can
