The 806512 Genuine OEM Speed Queen Washer Unbalance Switch is a critical safety and performance component designed for Speed Queen washing machines and compatible brands such as Alliance, Huebsch, and Econowash.

Function & Importance of the Unbalance Switch

The unbalance (out-of-balance) switch monitors the movement of the washer drum during operation. If the load becomes uneven or unstable, the switch signals the control system to:

• Pause or stop the spin cycle

• Attempt to redistribute the load

• Prevent excessive vibration or internal damage

This function is essential for:

• Protecting internal components (suspension, drum, bearings)

• Maintaining safe operation

• Ensuring proper wash and spin performance

Using a Genuine OEM switch like 806512 ensures accurate sensing, proper fit, and reliable communication with the washer’s control system—something aftermarket parts may not consistently deliver.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Unbalance Switch

If your washer is experiencing the following issues, a defective unbalance switch could be the cause:

• Washer won’t spin or complete cycles

• Cycle stops mid-operation due to imbalance detection

• Washer won’t start or progresses inconsistently

• Clothes remain soaking wet after cycle completion

• Excessive vibration or false imbalance errors

• Washer fails to drain or wash properly

Will replacing this part fix your issue?
If your washer is incorrectly detecting imbalance or shutting down during spin cycles, replacing the unbalance switch is often an effective and necessary repair.
