A Speed Queen TR7 that will not fill should be checked from the wall in: the power cord fully in, both faucets on, the lid closed, the fill hoses not kinked or twisted, Start/Pause pressed, the controls set, the last spin complete, and the breaker on. Then clean the screens in the water mixing valve and the fill-hose filter screens. The guide adds two TR7 specifics: the Normal Eco cycle does a spray rinse instead of filling the tub, and stainless flood-safe hose assemblies often cause no-fill or slow-fill problems.
