In reference to water hammer, I installed 2 water hammer arresters directly to the back of the machine and it took care of the problem, took 10 minutes. About $30 bucks for 2 of them at Home Depot.
Mine has stopped mid wash several times and I had to unplug it and plug back in and start the cycle over. It'll also stop if the lid isnt locked down just right. I looked at several brands before settling on my Speed Queen but unfortunately the model I bought has a lot of complaints from other owners. I hate that it can't be set for soaking a load, instead you have to wait until you hear the water turn off and hold the power button to unlock the lid and open it to soak the clothes. It doesn't allow much water like all the other modern "eco friendly" washers. You also can't do a large load bc it doesn't clean the clothes as well. My next washer will definitely be the older fashioned type without all the computerized bells and whistles so it can be easily repaired unlike the fancy Samsung washing machine that was money down the drain after it tore up after the first year and the professional technician from Samsung couldn't even find the cause of the problem in order to repair it. None of the newer machines wash clothes as well as they did decades ago. I spend more time spot treating and prewashing by hand than the washing machine does running a cycle in order to get a lot of clothes clean. At this point Im considering trying to find one of those washboards my grandmother used and wash most of the laundry by hand.
One thing that will help with the water hammer and also prolong the hot water tank and toilet fill is an expansion tank on the hot water tank. Unless you’re on a well then you already have one more than likely.
You've got braided hot/cold hoses on the washer. Change them. I was getting water hammer until I switched to rubber hoses for my washer. I no longer have the water hammer.
Why do cars fight gravity by having wheels that spin and suspend the load sideways? Does that make sense to you? lol We have ball bearings that work fine to suspend sideway rotation on things like locomotives and tanks and those tractor things that move space rockets, right? They just need to be engineered correctly and made with the right materials. If the argument was against low quality parts or bad engineering, I would agree with that.
We have a SQ tr3 we sometimes have problems with fabric softener not being washed out which causes stains especially in sheets. I bought it in January of 2024

I prefer the TC5.

Good tip. Those were included but makes sense

I'd like to see the heavy duty cycle.
Your drain is too small. Must be 2 inches with a stand pipe with a height of 18-30 inches
I think i have 1.5 😢. Can hear the stand pipe filling
