Hi Neptuners,
If you are a Neptune technician and you are tired of getting kicked out of folks' home after handing them a ridiculous $900 bearing repair quote then see http://www.neptunekits.com/special/ where you can order your own Neptune bearing tool kit and bearings in bulk. Offer them a $150 - $225 repair quote instead... Now you can also receive potential future Neptune repair business as well because they did not junk their Neptune.
I get emails from Neptune owners asking if I have any technicians in their area who have the special Neptune Bearing tool. Let's face it, not everyone wants to change their Neptune bearings themselves and would like someone who has the Neptune bearing tool to do it for them.
Well, what are you waiting for? http://www.neptunekits.com/special/
Until next time...

Fleetwood Mac in Columbus - It was a great concert!
Hi Neptuners,
I would not say that I am a die hard F.M. fan but I really enjoyed the show last night. Those folks can still shake the rafters and sound good while doing it! We were in section 102, row Y at the Nationwide Arena among a full house of fans. We must have been in front of a bank of speakers because the decibels were really cranking.
I have to say that Lindsey Buckingham's pickless style of guitar playing was really impressive... I wonder if he would help on my third Neptune song? Hold on... Let's publish the second Neptune song first! Lindsey broke out and really played some great solo guitar sometimes banging on the guitar and looked like he was very pleased after the song was finished from the expressions on his face.
Let's say mick fleetwood can really play the drums as I was looking forward to the Tusk song which has a unique drum pattern. I did not realize how well Mick could play as I am not a avid fan of F.M.
The rhythm section was not complete until we talk about the tightness between Mick and bassist John McVie. What is the matter John McVie? You need a website?
It was great to see Stevie Nicks live for the first time, too! I've seen her in videos but never live. Stevie was awesome! She has a unique flowing way about her while she is performing? Watching her eyes makes you wonder if she is really there but she sounded great. Someone in the front row area was trying to hand her a bouquet of flowers during the whole show. Finally, Lindsey picked them up and handed them to Stevie towards the end of the show.
Some of my favorites they played:
Gypsy
Rhiannon
Second Hand News
Tusk
Sara
Landslide
Gold Dust Woman
Oh Well
Stand Back
Go Your Own way
They finished the show with Silver Springs after the second Encore.
What a show it was! Tickets were $160 each with the Ticket Master fee, Oh Well.
Until next time...

The New Neptune Song is just about ready...
I can hear the excitement building about the new Maytag Neptune Song. The www.neptunehelpsong.com already has 675 hits the last time I checked.
I will give you a few hints:
1. It will be placed on my http://www.neptunebearing.com/ site.
2. I will post a poll on this blog so you can vote on it.
3. It will have a faster tempo and have a cajone which adds a nice sound.
In case you are wondering... Here is a cajon you can look at:
Until next time...

I took a vacation recently to New Smyrna Beach Florida
Hi Neptuners!
I just got back from vacation Tuesday morning where I enjoyed a week in Florida. We stayed at the http://www.thepelican.com/, a two bedroom condo on New Smryna Beach. It was in the 80's when we arrived on Sunday, April 5th :>). My wife's uncle owns a condo there and ours was next to his. We had a great time! All of the balconies face the beach and ocean for a great view.
We also visited the http://www.ponceinlet.org/ Ponce Inlet Lighthouse on Wednesday. It was a nice site to visit and we climbled the 203 steps to the top. It was very windy that day.
Of course, we took the 2 little ones and my in-laws to the Disney Magic Kingdom on Thursday and boy was it busy! We stayed until 10:00 pm and had to drive 1.5 hours back to the condo afterwards. The admission total was about $455 for all 6 of us... WoW!
Here I am with my little ones and in-laws...
In addition, I spent alot of beach and pool time in the sun Friday, Saturday and Sunday and yes I used lots of sunscreen... We also drove on the beach in our Town & Country van. I saw a couple of cars get stuck in the sand in front of our condo so I was concerned about the van getting stuck but we did'nt get stuck. The kids had a ball driving up and down the beach with the side doors open!
Bummer, I got a $101.00 citiation, too :>( .... I'm innocent I tell ya!
No, it was not for speeding. I will explain in a later post.
Don't worry, I had 2 people helping me back in Ohio ship the Maytag Neptune 12002535 wax motor repair kits, Neptune Bearing & Seal Kits and the Neptune Bearing Tool rentals while I was out.
I hear that there is another Neptune song in the works... To hear the first Neptune song go to http://www.neptunehelpsong.com/.

Maytag Neptune Help feedback
Hi Neptuners!
Here is feedback I received today after Chuck had changed his Neptune bearings and seal.
"Thank You Thank You Thank You I have completed the bearing replacement on my Neptune washer and all is well. It is again working like new. I have one question, my unit is a 5500BWW, do I need to replace the wax motor, or did Maytag make the change with that model #. Thanks again. Chuck S."
That's great news Chuck! Your MAH5500BWW does not have the faulty 12002535 door latch wax motor so you are OK. Jeff
If your Neptune is screaming at you while in high speed spin cycle goto http://neptunebearing.com/page4.html to purchase the replacement bearings and 12002022 seal kit.

More problems for Maytag... Not just Neptune front loaders!
Well, it seems that the Maytag Neptune front loaders are not the only problem at Maytag.
Since you have a Maytag Neptune it is possible you have a Maytag refrigerator so I wanted to pass this important information along to you.
Maytag just recently issued a recall for 1.6 million refrigerators that can have a relay overheat and cause a potential fire.
I've read complaints from folks going to the Maytag website because Maytag is collecting information from you before you can see if your model/serial number is in the recall. Here is a link to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's website with a list of models and serials affected by the recall http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml09/09145.html.
It looks like Ole Lonely will be real busy now!
With Spring just around the corner we wanted to remind you to clean your refrigerator condenser coils.
Most refrigerator condenser coils are located at the bottom of the refrigerator. To clean them simply remove the front toe plate at the bottom of the refrigerator and vacuum out the dust and pet hair.
By keeping your refrigerator coils clean you will extend the life of your refrigerator and it will run more efficiently.
Please forward this message to your friends and family members to remind them to clean their refrigerator coils too.
If you own a Maytag Neptune front loader please check out www.neptunehelp.com for more information on the faulty door latch wax motor, part# 12002535.
Regards,
Jeff

Space Station and Maytag Neptunes are Threatened by Orbital Debris
Hi Neptuners!
You’ve probably heard about the near miss with the International Space Station (ISS) recently.
Did you know that your Maytag Neptune front load washer is also threatened by orbital debris?
The orbital debris I’m talking about is mostly coins… If you have change in your pockets when you wash your clothes your water pump can come to a quick halt or be unable to start up on the next pumping cycle. The problem with the first scenario is that the pump impeller could be damaged when it abruptly stops and will probably need replaced. The second scenario can be corrected by draining the water, removing the pump, disassembling and cleaning the pump then reinstalling the pump. Note: If you have a floor drain near your Neptune you can simply lay the drain hose down on the floor and the water should drain out thanks to gravity.
See http://www.neptunehelp.com/index_files/Page323.htm for Neptune disassembly photos.
In addition, even innocent lint buildup overtime can clog your water pump so it is a good idea to remove and clean out once and a while your water pump during your spring cleaning chores after your Neptune is 5-10 years old.
