This is one of the best "how-to" videos I have ever seen. Easy to follow instructions, great camera angles, and start to finish guidance........saved me $100......great job!
Thank you. This is actually doable. I need to change the amount and am glad I found this video. Now I just need to find anew denomination label / sticker for the machine.
Before scratching up the top of the machine, I always put down an old towel/rag for tools. Wish I had this video before having to figure it out myself the first time I changed the coin denominations, stops, and pulling out a stuck bent coin.
@alejandrosuarez9565 There could be any number of issues causing that. If you purchased your dryer from Abt please send your contact information to youtube@abt.com and we can have one of our technicians reach out by phone to see if they can help.
If the new dollar amount can be calculated with the same coin slots (eg. 75cents to $1.50 should just be same coin slots that are inserted twice), can't this be done on the software level??
The coin mechanism is a ‘no software’ device, purely mechanical , well, electromechanical. The coin slot / plunger part of the mechanism harvests your coins & starts a timer. Yes, software could handle the case you describe but the coin slot / timer mechanism has been in use for YEARS. It is robust & works with little need for service or maintenance. A wireless coin-less electronic system might be useful in a laundromat situation as it has become with parking meters. The laundromat owner / operator could reap the benefits of cashless pay … no bill to coin changer & no coin gathering. For an installation with a few machines, coin driven mechanism will be around for a while.
what happens when there are more then one denomination of coin used for the price? I am in Canada and I want to change the price from $2.00 down to $1.50. There are $0.25, $1.00 and a $2.00 (not in this case) coins. thanks
@emmanuelsurf If you purchased your Speed Queen washer from Abt, ours use the GR800 service key to open the top part. If it wasn't purchased from Abt you'll need to find the model number of the washer to determine which service key will work for yours.
If you stick with quarters it depends on the number of coin slots. The most common ESD mechanism is 8 slots = $2. I'm not positive but I think the part with the slots can be changed out for a part that accepts tokens. By switching to tokens you might be able boost usage pricing?
@@tazyboy28 definitely not joking. I didn’t tighten the screws in the plate all the way after unjammimg and that caused the machine to start with out coins. #protip
Was able to follow this video and change mine within 30 minutes. Great video and thorough instructions.

Awesome Video, I have been trying to get someone to do this for a while. I am going to now do it myself. Thank you.
Great video! do you have a How To Video on how to replace the coin box for these models? I could'nt find one on your HOW-TO playlist.
Great how to video thank you for uploading, any videos changing the timer ?
This a great video even I could follow this step by step guide.
How does the machine know that it needs the additional coins to function?
Like how would it know the difference between the .75 and 1.50
Thank you! Huge help!

How can I get a key to open that top part? They key I got opens the coin box but it doesn’t open the top part
@emmanuelsurf If you purchased your Speed Queen washer from Abt, ours use the GR800 service key to open the top part. If it wasn't purchased from Abt you'll need to find the model number of the washer to determine which service key will work for yours.
what if i need to change it from 2 dollars to 4 dollars?
And don't forget to change the sticker price on the front of the slide. Great video though.
What's the highest amount you can charge for these washers please?

I'm not positive but I think the part with the slots can be changed out
for a part that accepts tokens.

What is the part number of the service key you're using?
Did you ever figure this out? Or at least the key code?
@@CaptainCharisma513 unfortunately not, sorry

Is there a way to go beyond two dollars?
Coins are just a link
Way too much of this was in wide shot and I couldn't see what he was talking about.
