MAH7500AWW Bearing and Tub Seal – How To Replace them and save money
MAH7500AWW Bearing and Tub Seal – How To Replace them and save money
If you own a MAH7500 and it sounds like a jet plane then it
is time to focus on your bearings and tub seal. If you bother a Maytag service
technician they will want at least $950 to repair your Neptune or even suggest
that you junk machine. You don’t really want to scrap machine because you can
save money by replacing your Neptune bearings and tub seal and be washing
clothes again. The reason they quote so much is because they will want to
replace the large outer tub which runs over $500 alone!
The 12002022 seal kit contains two seals. The earlier lip
seal and the revised lip seal. If you have the earlier lip seal (with plastic
white spacer clip) you will need to replace it with the new earlier lip seal in
the kit. If you would like to use the revised lip seal you will have to purchase
a new spinner support because its’ shaft is machined different. Here is a video I created for the 12002022 seal kit breakdown.
It should take about 1 – 5 hours depending on how much
cleaning you need to do while you’re in there and no special tools are
required. You could save time by renting the Tony Tool which pulls the rear
bearing out first. You then knock the front bearing out and then after some
clean up you use the Tony Tool to install the new bearings and spacer. The tool
kit rental includes an extra bearing spacer just in case you need it.
Depending on how long your machine has sounded like a jet
plane you may need to heat up the aluminum hub when extracting the inner or
front bearing. The aluminum has a higher expansion coefficient than the steel
bearing does so the bearing housing should expand more than the bearing does
thus loosening it up. Just don’t over heat it since some of the heat guns can
really get hot.
Another tip is to stabilize the outer tub by laying the
Neptune on its front and placing 2x4’s, old towels, newspaper stack under tub
to help keep it from bouncing around when you attempt to knock out the front
bearing. Now would also be a good time to spray penetrating oil on the inner
bearing since it is closer to horizontal. You can allow the oil to soak in
overnight. You will also want to place plywood or equivalent under tub to catch
the bearing when it is ejected out.
The good news is that you don’t have the faulty brown tipped
wax motor in your door latch. Only the timer knob based Neptune’s have the wax
motor which would fail and damage the Q6 triac and R11 and the upper control
board. The digital Neptune models all use a solenoid to lock the door. See Neptune Help Song for a video that explains what happens when the original brown tipped wax motor fails.
I hope this was helpful to you and you save money by
replacing your bearings and tub seal.

Nika Snow Storm - My Craftsman 30" Snow Blower - Gas Cap Leaking
Wow... Nika! You delivered some heavy snow last night!
I had to get out my Craftsman 30" snow blower this morning.
The snow had a layer of ice on it that would have made it really
difficult to shovel. Especially considering that I have a corner lot
which means 2 side walks. The side side walk is about 140' long.
Here is a video I made with the camcorder in the window and I
sped up the video to keep it short.
This Craftsman snow blower is about 3 years old. The only problem I have
had is the gas cap leaked. I called sears and they sent me a new one. No problem...
It has heated grips and a headlight as well as trigger controlled power steering.
I love the electric start and you can hear it in the video when it starts up...
However, I noticed the replacement gas cap is leaking now after 2 years.
Have you had any trouble with your gas cap leaking? I wonder if there is
a design issue with the gas cap?

Sears Kenmore 721.80044700 microwave will not heat or rotate the turntable – How to
Sears Kenmore 721.80044700 microwave will not heat or rotate
the turntable – How to
Safety: When working on any appliance make sure the power cord is disconnected and be aware that there could be devices that hold an electrical charge, ie. a capacitor.
I had a customer come to me and they have a 721.80044700
microwave and it will not heat or rotate the turntable. I took a look at it and
noticed the front display panel was broken and loose if I twisted the panel the
microwave would heat and rotate the turntable. That was great news! See the video for the rest!
I have repaired a number of appliances over the years and offer tub washer bearing and seal kits at my washer bearings site. Take a look if your washing machine sounds like a jet plane when ramping up into the high speed spin cycle.
