The product, in the report: White gas dryer

Product & Purchase Information:
Manufacturer: Alliance Laundry Systems (Speed Queen)
Model Number: ADG6HRYS117TW01
Serial Number: 2103046471
Purchase Date: June 22, 2021
Purchase Price: $1,050.00
Incident Date: September 10, 2025 (Unit is 4 years old, under 5-year warranty)
Detailed Incident & Safety Defect: My 4-year-old gas dryer caught fire during a normal cycle, rendering it unusable. Attached photos confirm the fire originated internally in the sealed mechanical housing, not externally. Crucially, the fire was caused by an approximately one-inch-thick accumulation of lint in this inaccessible compartment, centered around internal wiring and electrical components. This lint accumulation constitutes a fundamental design defect and a severe fire hazard, as the machine failed to prevent highly flammable material from reaching the ignition source.
Manufacturer’s Denial & Unreasonable Burden: Speed Queen repeatedly denied the claim, citing “lack of required maintenance” and a User Manual recommendation for specialized cleaning every 1-2 years. I reject this defense. Requiring a homeowner to purchase complex, professional disassembly every 1-2 years to prevent a fire is an unacceptable burden for safety and proves the machine is inherently unsafe under normal operating conditions. The resulting electrical component failure and fire demonstrate the warranty-covered defect.
Product Safety Concern and Requested Resolution: This incident indicates a serious safety defect with this dryer model. The product’s design allows flammable lint to accumulate in a dangerous area, creating a fire risk that cannot be mitigated by routine user maintenance.
Due to the length of this dispute, I was forced to purchase a new appliance to restore function to my home. Therefore, I no longer seek a replacement unit. I urge the CPSC to investigate this safety hazard. I demand a full refund of the original purchase price of $1,050.00.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(11/24/2025) Alliance Laundry Systems LLC: At Alliance Laundry Systems, we are dedicated to manufacturing quality Speed Queen appliances, and we take all concerns seriously. In order to ensure our machines operate safety and effectively, we require all consumers follow the maintenance requirements for our dryers. These recommendations, outlined in the User’s Guide and provided to consumers at purchase, are critical safety measures for all clothes dryers, regardless of brand. Lint accumulation can block airflow and create a hazard, which is why we, and other industry safety experts, state that all customers should have periodic professional cleaning of our units. Similarly, the internal panels are secured by design. This is to protect consumers from internal components and ensure the dryer is reassembled by a professional correctly and safely after service. Although this may be frustrating to a consumer, our product design and maintenance recommendations are essential for the safe operation of the machine.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(9/8/2016) Alliance Laundry Systems LLC: Speed Queen® brand gas-fired clothes dryers are certified by the Canadian Standards Association Group (CSA Group) to both ANSI Z21.5.1 and CSA 7.1 national safety standards. In addition, Alliance Laundry Systems (ALS) rigorously conducts performance and reliability tests to ensure the product is consistent and reliable.
The report of extended dry times does not constitute a safety hazard. The temperature limiting thermostat opened, just as it is designed to do when the operating temperature is reached. No safety hazard exists.
It has been determined that this particular machine had an improperly aligned air duct. While drying performance was degraded, resulting in longer dry times, the proper operation of safety devices within the machine were not affected.
On August 25th, 2016 the Dryer was repaired and the issue has been resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Consumers desiring to contact ALS directly with service related inquiries may call (920) 748-3121.
