Maytag Neptune Saved From The No Spin Firing Squad!

Hi Neptuner!

I saved another Maytag Neptune front loader from the No-Spin firing squad...

Yes, this Neptune suffered the door latch wax motor failure and would not spin so it was saved by replacing the R11 resistor and Q6 triac on the machine control board to get it up and spinning again. To date I've sold over 5,300 120025235 wax motors! I'm sure that there are thousands more Neptune’s out there just waiting to fail.

Did you know that this failure can be prevented by proactively replacing your 12002535 door latch wax motor? See Neptune Help for more info. There is a cool video that explains the issue too. Check it out!

As your Neptune matures it will start to transform itself into a jet and get really loud in spin cycle. Don't give it 'take off' clearance because it was not designed for flight. Keep your Neptune grounded by replacing your bearings and 12002022 seal kit. See Neptune Bearing for more information.


Until Next time...

Nickelback concert in Columbus, Ohio Review October 1, 2010

Hi Neptuners!

I wanted to share a review I did for the Nickelback concert I went to Friday, October 1st, here in Columbus, Ohio's Nationwide Arena.

I will say that Nickelback rocked and officially brought in Rocktober! If you plan to go to a Nickelback concert in your neck of the woods and don't want the show spoiled then I would not read the review... In your case, it was a great show!

Here is the review I supplied to Ticketmaster...

The Nickelback show started off with a bang! Literally and they had many more tricks up their sleeve... The lighting and pyro were awesome as was the sound quality. The bass drums were cranked up to the max for the whole show so you could feel them like standing in front of your own personal subwoofer! Nice!

They had flame throwers spewing out fire balls in circular patterns and even colored pink and blue flame throwers that would make Rambo jealous. Near the end of the show there were sparks showering down across the width of the stage in the back and you wasn't for sure if the amplifiers were going up in flames or if it was part of the show... I was looking for the nearest exit just in case!

Another trick is they moved to the end of the stage 'island' to be closer to the fans where a 2nd hidden drum kit appeared for a few songs and they handed out beer to some of the fans after they pulled out their card. It was like a party!

We cannot forget the tshirts being shot out of guns into the crowd either! Thanks for giving some back guys! Even if it was at 100 feet per second...

There was quite a bit of cursing, lots of 'f' and 's' words. I did not mind but there were younger kids in the crowd believe it or not. Come on guys... can't you expand your vocab a little?

The large video screens were high quality.

Overall, I would say this was one of the best shows I've ever seen and Nickelback set the bar even higher for other acts to follow with their excellent lighting and pyro! You guys left money on the table and I would buy tickets on your next pass through Columbus!

Water Ice Maker information

Recently, I've had some requests for information on replacement ice makers because I offer the Maytag Neptune front load washer help to homeowners. I do have access to most makes of major appliance replacement parts.

I just created a new website that offers the most popular replacement ice makers at Water Ice Maker. If your ice maker is not doing its job efficiently maybe it is time to replace it. Check it out NOW!

If you own a Maytag Neptune front load washer you need to know a few things about these machines that can save you money! If your machine has a timer knob (non digital) then you need to know about the door latch wax motor issue where the wax motor shorts out and damages the machine control board.

You can prevent the Q6 triac and R11 resistor burnout by proactively replacing your wax motor before it fails with the new redesigned wax motor. There is a video that shows how to inspect your door latch to see if you have the faulty wax motor and there is a video that shows how to swap it too! The website is Neptune help.

Next, I developed a low cost bearing and seal kit so you can replace your bearings when the machine starts to sound like a jet plane taking off when it ramps up for the spin cycle. See Neptune Bearing for more information. There is even a Neptune bearing tool kit rental available to help you change your bearings and it includes use of a DVD that shows the disassembly, bearing swap and the seal kit installation.

Both of these Neptune kits were created to save you a ton of money in service calls and even machine replacement by getting more years out of your Maytag Neptune front loader!

Until next time...

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.

Lastly, did you know that you can replace your Neptune bearings and seal when your machine sounds like a jet plane taking off? See Neptune Bearing for more information on replacing your bearings and saving a ton of money...

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.
