Neptune 12002535 wax motor meltdown conclusion...

At this time, it seems like we should keep an close eye on the 12002535 wax motors located in the dispenser area. 

This is the first wax motor failure I am aware of in the dispenser module in the two years I have been providing wax motors and R11 & Q6 repair kits to Neptune owners. 

One day I will add up how much I have saved Neptune owners and post it on my blog. It has to be in the 10's of thousands already... 

I have in the past received questions asking why the door latch wax motor fails but the other two wax motors don't? I thought at first it was maybe that the door latch wax motor is exposed to more moisture than the bleach & softener wax motors were. I don't think that is the case because the whole laundry room can be humid. 

The other theory is that if the door boot has a bad seal around the top maybe steam could escape and expose the wax motor to higher moisture levels? Another theory is that it could be based on the actual operation time the wax motors are on. 

The door latch runs at a much higher duty cycle than the bleach & softener wax motors operate. I guess for now I should caution you that if your machine trips the breaker beware that if you keep resetting the breaker you could have a wax motor meltdown! 

Let's use the power of the information superhighway to locate other folks who might of had Neptune wax motors fail in the dispenser area... Have you or do you know anyone who has a neptune and has had a wax motor failure in the dispenser area?

Until next time...
