Well, it finally happened

Well, we cracked our glass cook top :>(

This GE range is almost 9 years old. I guess we were lucky since other objects have hit the glass pretty hard but no damage...

I changed the glass cook top in about an hour with a philips screwdriver, 1/4 nut driver, 5/16 nut driver, vacuum cleaner... a pretty easy job if you ask me.

Yeah! The glass cooktop glows again!

I decided to offer replacement cook tops after hearing about a friend of my mother in law that paid $750 to replace her glass cook top. Wow! $750! Could you buy a new range for that much?

Well, I created the site in about 2 hours... See http://www.crackedglasscooktop.com/ to check it out.

For all of you Neptuners... remember http://www.neptunewaxmotor.com/ and http://www.neptunebearing.com/ for all of your Maytag Neptune needs.

Until next time...

Tony Tool knock out plug update

I wanted to update you DIY Neptuners on the Tony Tool kit used for removing and installing the Maytag Neptune bearings. The Tony Tool knock out plugs have been taking a royal beating. 

I think you folks are taking out your Maytag frustrations on the knock out plugs! In case you don't know... They are used for knocking out the front bearing on the Neptune. 

A few of the knock out plugs in my fleet have cracked on the lip. See picture above... Don't worry though... I followed up with Tony and he said the knock out plug will still work without the lip. 

 For more info on renting the Tony Tool see www.neptunebearing.com.

Until next time...
