What we could not confirm
- Speed Queen is treated as sharing Amana's format because the source lists it in that family; the corporate relationship itself is an estimate.
- Speed Queen is treated as sharing Speed Queen (Alliance European-built)'s format because the source lists it in that family; the corporate relationship itself is an estimate.
- Official Alliance CPSC filing: YYMM + 6 digits for Ripon WI / Thailand builds; European builds end in Maytag-style year+month letters (D2288EN). Pre-1998 Raytheon-era = Amana YYWW style. Building-center's page wrongly ties Speed Queen to Whirlpool's 2006 Maytag purchase. speedqueen.com/warranty-check/ curl 200 (form).
