Maytag Neptune Washer Seal Replacement - How to replace

Maytag Neptune washer seal replacement - If you notice your Maytag Neptune front load washer starting to sound like a freight train you should know that it is time... Time to replace your Maytag Neptune bearing and seal. Although, you can rent the special Neptune bearing tool kit you can replace the bearings without it. The photo above shows the Neptune bearing and a revised lip seal, o ring and installation cup. If you have the earlier lip seal you cannot install the revised lip seal because the spinner support shaft is machined different than the spinner support shaft that uses the revised lip seal. If you replace the Neptune spinner support it will come with the revised lip seal. I would recommend having a large 8 pound hammer available just in case when replacing your Neptune tub bearings... Let me know if you have any questions. Jeff Hartman

Maytag Neptune Bearing Seal Kit Install How-To

Hi Neptuner!

Here is a video I created when I was replacing Loretta's MAH4000 Maytag Neptune bearings and 12002022 seal kit. It shows the earlier lip seal installation. The 12002022 seal kit includes 2 seals so it will work on both spinner support setups. The thinner seal is the earlier seal and should be used if your machine had the white plastic spacer ("a" clip) between the front bearing and seal.




See Neptune Bearing for more information. I also offer the 12002533 door boot, 12002535 wax motor and the 12001788 belt at a discount when you rent the Neptune bearing tool kit.


Until next time...
