More problems for Maytag... Not just Neptune front loaders!

Well, it seems that the Maytag Neptune front loaders are not the only problem at Maytag.

Since you have a Maytag Neptune it is possible you have a Maytag refrigerator so I wanted to pass this important information along to you.

Maytag just recently issued a recall for 1.6 million refrigerators that can have a relay overheat and cause a potential fire.

I've read complaints from folks going to the Maytag website because Maytag is collecting information from you before you can see if your model/serial number is in the recall. Here is a link to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's website with a list of models and serials affected by the recall http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml09/09145.html.

It looks like Ole Lonely will be real busy now!


With Spring just around the corner we wanted to remind you to clean your refrigerator condenser coils.

Most refrigerator condenser coils are located at the bottom of the refrigerator. To clean them simply remove the front toe plate at the bottom of the refrigerator and vacuum out the dust and pet hair.

By keeping your refrigerator coils clean you will extend the life of your refrigerator and it will run more efficiently.

Please forward this message to your friends and family members to remind them to clean their refrigerator coils too.

If you own a Maytag Neptune front loader please check out www.neptunehelp.com for more information on the faulty door latch wax motor, part# 12002535.

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...

Maytag Neptune 12002535 wax motor failure update

Well, so far I have only identified two Neptune MAH3000 machines where the dispenser area wax motors have failed. 

I know there must be more bleach and softener wax motor failures out there! Tell me about your Neptune failure... I have time because central Ohio just received 14" of the white stuff. 

I was hoping spring would be here soon. It will probably take a month for the piles of snow to melt off... 

I'm thankful I still have my internet and electricity and not necessarily in that order although some Ibuprofen is needed for the old back after shoveling all of that snow!

Until next time...
