Layers of Protection in the AWNA62 Speed Queen Washer

3 Layers of Protection

The new Speed Queen AWNA62 Washer has 3 layers of coated protection on the steel cabinet. These layers protect the machine from rust and keep it looking good for years to come. The full metal base of the machine adds extra strength, stability and noise reduction.

Life Time Warranty

The steel outer tub is completely coated in enamel. It is garranted for the life of the machine. That protects you from rust eating a hole through the outer tub of the machine. The stainless steel inner tub also is garranted for life. The stainless steel finish on these inner tubs actually get smoother through years of use.

Warranties

Speed Queen are so confirdent with their new model machine they give the new owner a full 2 years labour and parts warranty. They are so confirdent with their gearbox assembley, they give you an extra 3 years parts only warranty on the gearbox, bearing and seal. That is a total of a 5 years on the gearbox.

Quality Testing

These machine are built to stand the test of time. Speed Queen thoroughly test their components they have put into these machines. Not only have they been thoroughly tested in the factory, they have been used in the harsh environment of laundry mats all over the world. All the main drive train components including the motor, clutch and brake assemblies, the gearbox are all the same components in both the coin operated laundry machines and the AWNA62 Washer.
Now with this quality and warranties it should be an easy decision to purchase one of these machines. I have been servicing these machine for over 20 years and believe they are the strongest top loading washing machine in the Australian market.

Fisher and Paykel the Brand

Fisher & Paykel Washer

The Fisher and Paykel brand which comes from New Zealand is commonly referred to as F&P. Fisher and Paykel is a large company in New Zealand and has a large range of products including it whites goods range. The company was founded in 1934 by Maurice Paykel & Sir Woolf Fisher and they imported products from  Crosley Appliances, Maytag and Pilot products. In 1938 they began manufacturing their own Kelvinator washers under licence with the introduction of import tariffs. In 1956, their manufacturing was moved to a purpose-built factory in Mount Wellington, Auckland.

Fisher & Paykel began exporting to Australasia and East Asia around 1968. In the 1980 the company became more focus more on research and development and this resulted in the development of the ECS direct drive motor assembly washing machine and highly-automated production lines.In 1989, the company opened its first overseas manufacturing facility in Cleveland, Brisbane, Australia. In 1992 Fisher & Paykel entered the European Market and by 1994 was exporting to over 80 countries. Fisher & Paykel Appliances Ltd was listed publicly in 2001, following the separation of Fisher & Paykel Industries Ltd into Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Ltd and Fisher & Paykel Appliances Ltd that same year.

Fisher & Paykel has acquired other manufacturers over the years to improve and expand into other markets and these include:

• In 1955 a Duneden electric oven manufacturer call H. E. Shacklock Ltd.

A large number of Fisher & Paykel products utilise microprocessor and brushless DC motor technology  to improve efficiency. Fisher & Paykel now holds over 420 patents and based on it’s innovative design, particularly in the areas of usability and environmental awareness. Even with these patents it appears many other manufacturers are following in Fisher & Paykels design strategies with the brushless DC motor technology.

Fisher & Paykel Dish Draw

Since Fisher & Paykel first came to Australia, I have been a fan of their products and innovation. I have been servicing their products since the first washing machines came to Mackay. Although some products have given me a headache at stages I believe for the most part their products and well made and worth the investment. Most of the information I researched for this post came from Wikipedia.
