Speed Queen Electric Dryers

Speed Queen Electric Dryers at Plesser's Appliances

Speed Queen electric dryers, available at Plesser's Appliances, run on a 240V circuit rather than a gas connection, which makes them the practical choice in homes without gas service to the laundry area. Designed and assembled in Ripon, Wisconsin by Alliance Laundry Systems, they are built on the same commercial platforms as the washers they pair with and tested to the same standards.

No Gas Line Required
An electric dryer needs only a dedicated 240V circuit and a vent, which is a simpler and less expensive rough-in than running gas to a laundry closet or second-floor alcove. In a condo, an apartment, or a home where the laundry sits away from existing gas lines, this is often the only workable option. Confirm your circuit type and amperage before ordering — older homes vary.

Sanitize and Steam Cycles
Sanitizing cycles run at elevated temperature for bedding, towels, and workout clothes, and steam cycles on select models refresh or de-wrinkle without a full wash. Extended tumble keeps a finished load moving so creases do not set if you cannot unload right away. Cycle availability varies by series — verify against the current spec sheet.

Over-Dry Protection
Over-drying is what actually wears clothes out, shrinking cotton and breaking down elastic over repeated loads. Over-dry protection on select models monitors the load and stops when it is dry rather than running a timer to the end. If you regularly dry things you intend to keep for years, this is the feature worth stepping up for.

Pet Plus and Higher-Series Features
The Pet Plus system on higher-series models is built specifically for pet hair and dander, which a standard cycle does not remove well. Higher series also add refresh and specialty cycles and longer factory coverage. Confirm the specific cycle set for your model rather than assuming parity across the DR and DC ranges.

Venting, Electrical, and Warranty
Electric dryers require a dedicated 240V circuit and proper venting, and a long, crushed, or lint-clogged vent run is the most common cause of poor drying performance — keep it as short and straight as practical. Select models carry ENERGY STAR certification; confirm which. Warranty term varies by series and covers parts and in-home labor.
