The original wax motor with the brownish-orangish actuator shipped in all 2000 Stackers, MAH3000, MAH4000 and the MAH5500A series front load Neptunes. If you have one of these defective wax motors please replace it asap!
What it does is over time it will draw too much current and overheat the Q6 triac that switches voltage to it and this will cause a R11 resistor to burn out on the machine control board.
The symptom is that the Neptune will no longer spin your clothes out and the door locked light will not come on. These are the classic symptoms of the Q6 & R11 failure.
Again, the door latch wax motor is the root cause and must be replaced with the new design wax motor, which has the black actuator tip.
