Space Station and Maytag Neptunes are Threatened by Orbital Debris

Hi Neptuners!

You’ve probably heard about the near miss with the International Space Station (ISS) recently.

Did you know that your Maytag Neptune front load washer is also threatened by orbital debris?

The orbital debris I’m talking about is mostly coins… If you have change in your pockets when you wash your clothes your water pump can come to a quick halt or be unable to start up on the next pumping cycle. The problem with the first scenario is that the pump impeller could be damaged when it abruptly stops and will probably need replaced. The second scenario can be corrected by draining the water, removing the pump, disassembling and cleaning the pump then reinstalling the pump. Note: If you have a floor drain near your Neptune you can simply lay the drain hose down on the floor and the water should drain out thanks to gravity.

See http://www.neptunehelp.com/index_files/Page323.htm for Neptune disassembly photos.

In addition, even innocent lint buildup overtime can clog your water pump so it is a good idea to remove and clean out once and a while your water pump during your spring cleaning chores after your Neptune is 5-10 years old.

The International Space Station

Well, we've all heard about the International Space Station or ISS. 

Did you know that the ISS travels around 17,200 miles an hour? 

Wow, I could get to work really quick at that speed! You can now look up tracking info on the Internet to see where the ISS happens to be over the Earth or even look for the next time you can see the ISS in the sky over your city... 

Here is the NASA link: https://spotthestation.nasa.gov/ 

I wonder if the ISS has a Maytag Neptune front loader on board? If so, they better order a replacement 12002535 wax motor for the door latch from www.neptunewaxmotor.com.

Until next time...
