Another Maytag Neptune bites the dust...

I hope you liked my installation of the Kenmore Elite washer and dryer... 

Now, let's get back to the Maytag Neptune issues! Here is a request taken from the webosphere... 

"I have a Maytag Neptune MAH4000AWW that shuts off after the wash cycle. If the start button is pushed sometimes it will finish the cycle, some times it will only run a short time and need to push start button again, also the softner doesn't dispense when this happens. Where do you think the problem is?" 

If it is a Neptune... It could be a couple of issues causing this shutdown. First, check out www.neptunehelp.com for info on the defective 12002535 door latch wax motor fiasco. Next, check the lower motor control board for a blown fuse or overheated components. 

If you have either then your motor control board has let the smoke out. You will learn that when electronic devices let the smoke out all control and motion stop! See the disassembly photos from yours truly.

Until next time...
