Speed Queen AWN43RSN116TW01 washer Parts

Your Speed Queen AWN43RSN116TW01 top-load washer typically has about 3.2 cu. ft. of capacity. We use this as the practical tub capacity for loading and wash performance; for exact published capacity details, check the AWN43RSN116TW01 owner's manual.

Capacity is usually listed in the specifications section of the manual or product literature. If you are comparing models, make sure you are comparing the same measurement type.

• Look for “capacity” or “tub volume” in the specs
• Confirm it is a top-load model (AWN-series is commonly top-load)
• Compare like-for-like: cu. ft. (not load size labels like Small, Medium, Large)
• Use the model and serial tag to ensure you have the correct variant

Your washer’s control settings (Small, Medium, Large) manage water level, not the physical tub size. The manual emphasizes choosing a load size that gives enough water for items to move freely; overloading can reduce cleaning and rinsing performance.

Knowing the approximate cubic feet helps you avoid overloading, choose the right cycle and water level, and set realistic expectations when comparing Speed Queen washers to larger-capacity brands.

If you are troubleshooting poor cleaning, off-balance spinning, or unusual cycle behavior, we recommend following the checks in how to fix Speed queen washer problems. For replacement parts tied to fill and water-level behavior, you can also shop by model on this page or search by model at Sears PartsDirect.

Common Speed Queen washer problems (including model AWN43RSN116TW01) are no-drain or slow-drain complaints, lid lock errors, out-of-balance spinning that prevents full-Speed spin, and normal clicking or pump sounds that seem like a failure. Use the AWN43RSN116TW01 owner's manual to match symptoms to status lights and reset steps.

• Won’t drain or drains slowly; clothes come out wet
• Lid won’t lock or won’t unlock; cycle won’t start or won’t end
• Excessive vibration; “max Speed not reached” behavior
• Clicking near the lid or base; especially at start or end of cycle
• Over-sudsing from too much detergent; poor spin and leftover water

• Use smaller, evenly distributed loads to prevent imbalance.
• Use HE detergent and the recommended amount to prevent excess suds.
• Confirm the drain hose is not kinked and the standpipe is not restricted.
• Power reset for lid issues: unplug briefly, then restart.

• Alliance pump and bracket 203885 for drain problems
• Alliance lid lock catch 203573 for lid lock symptoms
• Alliance out-of-balance switch assembly 807384 for repeated off-balance stops

Drain, lid lock, and balance issues stop the cycle, leave loads wet, and increase wear on the belt and drive system. Fixing load size, suds, and drain restrictions first prevents unnecessary part replacement.

A Speed Queen top-load washer like model AWN43RSN116TW01 typically lasts about 15 years with normal household use and basic maintenance. Consistent leveling, correct load sizes, and prompt fixes for draining or filling issues are the biggest factors that keep the drive system, pump, and controls running longer.

Most of the real-world variation comes down to usage and care.

• Loads per week: more cycles equals more wear on the motor, belt, and bearings
• Overloading: increases stress on the tub, drive shaft, and suspension
• Drain health: clogs and slow draining overwork the pump
• Water quality: sediment can restrict inlet screens and valves
• Vibration: an unlevel washer accelerates wear and can trigger out-of-balance behavior

We recommend these habits for AWN43RSN116TW01:

• Keep the washer level and stable on the floor
• Use the right load size; avoid packing the tub tight
• Use the recommended detergent amount (too much can cause residue and performance issues)
• Check hoses and connections periodically for seepage and looseness
• Address drain or spin problems early (before the pump or belt is damaged)

If performance changes, these parts are often involved:

Model-matched examples from this parts list include the alliance belt 204690 and the Speed queen pressure sensor 203843.

Knowing the typical lifespan helps you decide when a repair is the smart move. If your washer is near the 15-year mark and needs a major component (motor, control board, outer tub), comparing repair cost to remaining service life keeps the decision clear.

For model-specific operating and care guidance, use the AWN43RSN116TW01 owner's manual. If you need to purchase replacement parts for this washer, order from the parts list for AWN43RSN116TW01 or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.
