Maytag Neptune Front Loader Repair Tip

Maytag Neptune Front Loader Repair Tip:


Hi Neptuner!

I was looking through some photos of you repairing your Neptunes and I noticed that some of you were not wearing safety glasses!

Listen up, did you know that you can buy cool safety glasses for less than $10? They have come along way from the 'goggles'... Check out the "Safety Glasses" link below now and order you some cool safety glasses to have around the house so you don't have an excuse not to wear them.

Whether you are replacing your Neptune Bearings or the faulty door latch wax motor you need to wear cool safety glasses! I also highly recommend that you wear them when soldering on your control board as well...


Safety Glasses



Be safe... Remember you need your vision and you need to protect it!

Hi Neptuner, I just finished up a new video for explaining what to do when your Maytag Neptune Front load washer will not lock the door and spin the clothes and the R11 resistor on the machine control board is burnt.

Carbon-monoxide Poisoning Can Be Prevented...

Carbon-monoxide Poisoning Can Be Prevented...

I just heard on the news recently that another local family was poisoned by carbon-monoxide due to a faulty furnace and the outcome was tragic for one of the victims... This is terrible news!

Listen up... If you don't have a carbon-monoxide (CO) detector in your residence and you have appliances that burn fuel you need to invest in one now! CO is an orderless and tasteless gas so you cannot sense its presence.

Here are some home appliances that can burn fuel:

• Gas Furnace
• Gas Water Heater
• Gas Range/Stove
• Fireplace (gas log)
• Portable Camping Lantern / Stove
• Kerosene Heaters
• Gas Generator

If you have all electric appliances but have an attached garage then I would still recommend a carbon-monoxide detector in case a car is left running in the garage. If you receive a monthly bill from the gas company then you have gas appliances!

Kidde, who manufacturers smoke detectors and carbon-monoxide detectors have combined the two into one exciting package, the KN-COSM-XTR-B Intelligent Alarm, Combination Carbon Monoxide, Fire and Smoke. This unit even has voice so it tells you “Fire! Fire!” or “Warning Carbon Monoxide.”!

Symptoms for Anxiety are many

Symptoms for Anxiety

Recently, I had a relative experience a panic attack so I researched what symptoms you can expect and was quite surprised at how many there were...

Here is the link to the blog I put up on Symptoms for Anxiety

Now if you have a Maytag Neptune Front Loader with the timer knob (non digital) then you may experience some of these symptoms when your door latch wax motor melts your control board's R11 resistor and the Q6 triac. See Neptune Help for more information...

Maytag Neptune Question about the W10181639 Spinner Support

Hi Neptuner!

Here is a Maytag Neptune Spinner Support question that I received lately...

"I have a spinner support with a broken bolt stud. Can you replace the bolt studs in the spinner support, or do you have to replace the entire spinner support? If I have to replace the spinner support, do you have them and what does it cost? I will also replace the bearing and seal when I fix the spinner support."

A: I've had Neptuners successfully replace a broken stud on the spinner supports. You will want stainless steel replacement hardware. Sometimes the end of the spinner support arm corroded away and the spinner support needed replaced. You can order a new Neptune spinner support at w10181639.com. Note: I have a photo of a brand spankin' new spinner support above...

In addition, the new spinner support comes with the revised lip seal, too. So if you're replacing your bearings you can get a $40 refund if you purchased bearings from Neptune Bearing or even rented the Neptune bearing tool kit which almost pays for half of the new spinner support! Please don't open the 12002022 seal kit... just send it back for your $40 refund...

Don't forget to replace your 12002535 door latch wax motor if you have an earlier timer version (non digital) Neptune front loader with the original one still in it before it chokes and smokes your machine control board. See Neptune Help for more information.

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.

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!
