I was recently asked if the Maytag Neptune and 12002022 seal kit would work on the MAH55FLBWW Neptune and yes, it will work as well as the special Neptune Bearing tool kit rental.
It turns out that the Maytag Neptune and 12002022 seal kit works on all of the Maytag Neptune front loaders with solid door panel (no window). Some compatible models include the MAH3000, MAH4000, MAH5500, MAH6500, MAH7500 and commercial solid door panels, too.
Both the Neptune bearing and tub seal kit and tool kit rental include DVD’s to help you save time and effort when changing your tub bearings. You will also learn what to look out for on your Neptune to prevent a future failure, too. The Neptune’s have been out there quite a while and the most of the problems are discovered. One of the disadvantages of a new machine is you will discover the manufacturing flaws and oversights of the design.
Why would a Neptune owner want to repair their washer is another question I get on occasion and there are a number of supporting answers.
- You could be one that desires to get the maximum life out of any appliance or machine such as a car before tossing it aside?
- You could enjoy the learning experience of repairing your machine or even showing your son how to do it so he can learn mechanical skills and save money on service calls when his appliance fail?
- Perhaps you don’t like to fill up the scrap yards with appliances that can be repaired?
- Maybe you don’t have the cash on hand to purchase a new washer and dryer set and don’t want to pay financing charges?
- If you have a stacker it will be expensive to replace since it is a washer and dryer combo unit?
- Enjoy your option to replace bearings and seal now - Future washers will probably have a plastic welded tub and you won’t have a choice to replace the bearings and seal anymore but will have to purchase an expensive tub assembly or new washer.
Can you think of any reasons why you would want to repair your Maytag Neptune washer? If so, leave them below…
