Speed Queen AWNA62

Speed Queen AWNA62 🏆 2026

4.8 

Featured review: I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my Speed Queen washer!!! They are seriously the best washing machines you can buy in terms of simplicity, robustness, and quality. It washes clothes beautifully, spins them nearly dry, and you can fill it was loads of dirty clothing, and everything comes out sparkling clean. No electronic buttons, just plain simple, super washing. Fast and reliable, sturdy, and dependable. I would never buy anything else, supreme value for money. And their customer service is impeccable!

to clean or $$$ to get it serviced. After 20++ cleans we gave up on getting it out. Tub clean meant to be hot but only selects cold and uses cold. Hot hose is definitely working/connected. Noticed the sensor hasn't been sensing the water level correct for a while too.

I bought this in 2024 to replace a 5 year old Samsung top loader. Prior to that, I had a Whirlpool front loader that lasted 17 years. From day one,… Read more

this was awful. It twisted clothing and worse of all, there was lint on our clothes despite cleaning the lint filters.

Just recently, it has thrown an IE (Inlet Error) Code. I have cleaned the pipes yet it fills slowly. The warranty expired a few days ago.

My experience aligns with a lot of others people's experiences.

Never again will I buy this rubbish.

My new washing machine was delivered today, a replacement for my old 5.5kg Lg top loader. Not impressed so far, it’s so noisy. My old machine was… Read more

quiet, you could hear the water sloshing about but that was it. This one is whirring about all over the place, I’m in shock. It also takes ages to actually start washing the clothes, I feel like it’s a big step backwards from my old machine. Should’ve gone for the fisher Paykel.

Terrible terrible machine! I can’t reach the clothes for starters the drum is so deep, I should have checked before I purchased it. Didn’t think… Read more

that a big brand like LG would be so ergonomically challenged. It can not wash more than 2 towels and a sheet on the biggest load! I got a big machine because I need it. Error codes daily, when it’s out of balance it continues to go through the rinse cycle like it will do it all day if your not home, wasting so much water. Do not buy this machine. My Electrolux 7kg front loader ran rings around this hunk of junk. LG should be recalling them and reimbursing people who bought them. Unfortunately I will never buy anything LG again.

Another horrible LG product. Constant water level sensor issues. Tubes cracking namely the lower pump hose. Massive leak water all over the floor. … Read more

Lid has issues, gets stuck as though their is debris. Removed lid nothing present. It clicks.

Door lock went haywire. Would open close open close automatically.

Buttons stop functioning. Namely mode 2. Can not switch from normal mode. I presume it's a moisture and circuitry issue.

Turbo clean stopped functioning. Does thing to go. So does not de-lint well at all. Lint floats around.

Worst of all LG service tech is basically useless. They'll send someone out to look at it. Issues will persist. This is the last of LG products in my home. Don't by anything LG post 2017. Sub par quality throughout their ranges.

The outer body is prone to rust

Machine currently washes when it wants and takes as long as it wants.

currently shopping around for a new one. Won't be buying LG ever again. So glad this is it for the LG Bad's in my home. Had a fridge that caked it and warranty voided. Thought I had a Samsung washer lol.

$1200. Ridiculous for this lack of quality. These companies need to be investigated.

Bedding, clothes. Nothing heavily soiled, just the usual regular washing.

customer service absolutely disgusting would not help. I have never had a product so poor and service worse. No assistance at all. It's all about the money and paying someone to come see and go from there. Lg panel In the front are shocking qauilty. I would never recommend LG ever again after loyalty of 30 years. Nope washing machine and microwave rarely used and age both just stopped working. Funny both out of warranty. The amount of money they costs the warranty is poor do your homework before you buy. Just scammers

Worst washing machine I’ve ever owned – Bought this in a hurry as my 22 year old Fisher and Paykel suddenly died. I didn’t have time for my usual research, but was guided by the staff at… Read more

Bing Lee. From the first time I used it, I knew I’d hate it. It has a mind of its own. Adds water, even though the drum is full, stops and starts, make horrendous noises. The wash cycles take way too long- I live alone and don’t have large loads, but the Fast Wash doesn’t add enough water. The other day it made the little sing song noise to tell me it was finished, only to find a full tub of water. If I try to add fabric softener, it just drips the whole lot instantly into the first wash cycle, so I have to add more detergent. If it was possible, I’d get a refund and source a reconditioned Fisher and Paykel. Don’t buy this heap of rubbish! Any LG reps want to respond to this. I have an LG fridge which I’m very happy with and have always sworn by LG products. Why is this one so terrible?

While this machine seems to operate well enough it is limited in its operating capabilities. It has pre-defined programs that in most cases are not… Read more

possible to modify. For example the spin speed is slower on this machine than on our previous Fisher and Paykel washing machine. The Fisher and Paykel has a 1000 rpm spin cycle that removes an incredible amount of water in the spin cycle, whereas the LG has only a 700rpm spin cycle. We didn't notice the difference in summer, but in winter its now takes much longer to dry the clothes because they come out of the machine still damp. If I had known I would have purchased another Fisher and Paykel machine with the direct drive that allows a much greater spin speed. The LG Customer Service is also pitiful as well. You get transferred to an overseas call centre and they have no idea about their own product. The customer service rep had to be told 3 times what I was trying to achieve and started to tell me to push buttons on the washing machine that do not even exist. Absolutely Useless assistance.

Washer is great as long as it doesn't have a fault – Washer is great as long as it doesn't have a fault - large size for big family, washes very well. However we have had two of these machines and both… Read more

developed (different) faults within manufacturer warranty period. In the first fault, the service people were hopeless and we were unable to get a booking for several weeks - this made it impossible to repair in a reasonable period hence we had to throw it out. Unfortunately there isnt much choice in Australia for large washers hence had to buy same model again.

After 18 months, a fault in the door lock mechanism due to moisture corrosion developed with error code DL. Luckily we could coax the lock to work with a good thump on the side of the machine. Also luckily LG service have been able to visit and then secure parts in 2 weeks (still way too long).
