Last episode of 'As the World Turns' airs today, September 17, 2010

Wow! After a 54-year-run on television, "As the World Turns" will air its final episode today.
After reading this headline I started thinking about a title for Maytag Neptune owners…

As the Neptune turns…

If you own a Maytag Neptune front load washer you can keep your machine turning by replacing your bearings when they start to get loud in the spin cycle. Spin over to www.neptunebearing.com for more bearing information.

In addition to the bearings, the motor control board that drives the inner tub can fail on you and bring your washing action to a quick halt! See www.12002039.com for information on replacing your motor and motor control board.

Paul the octopus and the Maytag Neptune Front Load Washer meet up?

I wonder if Paul the octopus can predict when your Maytag Neptune bearings are going to fail?
Oh well! The only clue you will have is that your Neptune front load washer sounds like a jet plane taking off during the high speed spin.

By the way, you can replace just your bearings and not the large outer tub and save a laundry basket full of cash. See Neptune Bearing for more information.

I also provide replacement bearings and seals for the Kenmore Elite and Whirlpool Duet front load washers as well.

Don’t forget if you have a Neptune with a timer knob (non digital) that you need to replace the door latch wax motor if it is the original one before it fails and damages your machine control board. See Neptune help for information.

My washer fills with water when off

My washer fills with water when off?



Usually this situation is caused by a failing water valve assembly. I just published a new site at Washer fills with water when off that has some solutions for you.



This can create some problems such as water flowing on the floor depending on how bad the leak is or when it is noticed. I always recommend that you turn off your water supply valves when leaving on vacation in case of a machine or water hose failure.



I would also unplug the power cord as well before you vacation, even if you have a surge suppressor on your washer. I have Maytag Neptune owners who went on vacation and arrived home to a dead Neptune because of a close lightning strike while they were out. You just never know...



So check out Washer fills with water when off to learn more.



Until next time...

Maytag Neptune Washer Repair Help - I'm so Embarrassed!

Wow, I checked under my fridge and look what I found! How embarrassing!



Pretty gross... huh?



I immediately grabbed my Dyson vacuum and a fridge coil brush and started cleaning.




Below is the 'after' picture...

It is important to keep your fridge coils clean. Your compressor will thank you and you will save energy as well.

Here is the fridge coil brush I used in the photo.

You can also use this brush to pull the lint out of your dryer, too.

Until next time...

Calling all Maytag Neptune Front Load Washer Owners!

If you have a timer knob (non digital) on your Neptune then you need to know about the faulty door latch wax motor issue. See Neptune Help Song for a video that explains what happens when this component fails.

Maytag Neptune Motor Conversion Kit- 12002039

Maytag Neptune Motor Conversion Kit- 12002039 

Hi Neptuners! Does your Neptune front load washer shut down a few seconds after pushing the start button? Or maybe your washer sounds like it is growling when the inner basket is rotating? 

 If so, it is possible that your Motor Control Board (MCB) has failed. I have a Maytag Neptune Motor Conversion Kit site that has troubleshooting tips on it and if necessary, you can purchase the replacement Motor and MCB. I used to stock and ship these motor conversion kits but now you can easily order them. 

Maytag redesigned both the motor and MCB so they are not compatible with the original parts as they use a different technology on the motor drive system. 

Most clients comment on how the new motor drive is quieter than the original motor drive. This new motor drive fits all solid door panel Neptune's including the Stackers. 

Don't forget to replace your door latch wax motor (12002535) if you have a timer (non digital) Neptune front loader and you have not replaced it yet. See Neptune Help for the wax motor information. Until next time...
