Cat gets caught barking by a human and resumes meowing

Cat gets caught barking by a human and resumes meowing


Ok.. You've gotta be "kitten" me! I have to admit I’ve never seen or heard a cat bark before until this video clip but I have heard a Maytag Neptune front loader bark when its bearings are going south.

See Neptune Bearing before you have a "cat"astrophe and the laundry is piling up! You can even rent a special tool kit to help keep your fur from getting roughed up.

By replacing your Neptune bearings and seal you will have your Neptune purring like a kitten again!

Here is the video...



Until next time...

Maytag Neptune Use and Care Manual

Maytag Neptune Use and Care Manual


Hi Neptuner!

A common question that I receive is where can you Neptuners can get a copy of their Neptune front loaders Use and Care guide? Below is a link you can use to download your Use and Care guide for your machine...

www.maytag.com/manuals

I hope this helps!

If you need information on your Maytag Neptune see Neptune Help and if your Neptune sounds like a 747 taking off when entering spin cycle then see Neptune Bearing and get that machine cleared for landing quick! Don't forget that you can rent the Neptune bearing tool kit and save time and effort when changing your bearings.

Until next time...

Maytag Neptune Bearing Tool rental Update

Maytag Neptune Bearing Tool rental Update 

 Hi Neptuner,

Whirlpool Duet Sport seals are in… I have a batch of Whirlpool Duet Sport seals in and they can be purchased at http://www.duetbearing.com/ along with the bearings, too. The Original Duet Sport seals have FSP, ATP-1-17 and 8540091 on them. The Duet Sport bearing and seal kits are closer to the bottom of the order form. 

For you history buffs… You can now see Roman London as it was 2,000 years ago… Streetmuseum Londinium will be free to download for iPhones and iPads worldwide. Users can look through their phones and see the past emerge, locked as an overlay across the present scene. These can be viewed as ghostly alignments, or the archive images can be brought up and explored in detail, along with information about the Museum’s photographs and paintings. So far 200,000 people have downloaded Streetmuseum worldwide, from Argentina to New Zealand. Visit https://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/discover/museum-london-apps for more information.

Google Guitar - Play the Google Guitar again

Did you not get enough of the Google Guitar logo on June 9, 2011? 

Now you can play the logo just as you did on the Google.com homepage; U.S. users can record and share their masterpieces, too. Here is the link Google Guitar 

The Guitar doodle was in honor of musician and electric guitar pioneer Les Paul's birthday. I found it difficult to play using the mouse so instead you can play it using keys! 

See some sample songs using the Google Guitar logo Sample songs Have fun! 

If you own a Maytag Neptune front load washer and you don't like the sounds it is making while in the high speed spin cycle then see Neptune Bearing You can replace your Neptune bearings and seal instead of replacing the $450 outer tub! There is also a tool kit you can rent that includes access to a step by step video to save you both time and effort. 

In addition, if you have a Neptune with a timer knob (non digital) did you know that these machines shipped with a faulty door latch wax motor? The models are MAH3000, MAH4000, MAH5500A and the 2000 stacker Neptune's. You can inspect your door latch in about 5 minutes to see if you have the faulty wax motor. 

If you have the original design with the brownish color actuator pin you need to replace it asap! The new design has a black color actuator tip. Here is a video that shows how to inspect the stand alone Neptune HERE If you replace your faulty wax motor proactively you will prevent the the machine control board Q6 triac and R11 resistor failure. See Neptune Help to order a wax motor. 

 Until next time...

Wax Motor Actuator 12002535 Order now for same business day shipping!

Wax Motor Actuator 12002535 Order now for same business day shipping!

If you own a Maytag Neptune front load washer with a timer knob (non digital) then you need to be aware of the faulty door latch wax motor issue...

Here is a video that shows how to inspect your door latch on the stand alone Neptunes... Note: The Stackers are not difficult to check either.




If you discover that you have the brownish color actuator tip then you can order a new wax motor at Neptune Help. Keep in mind both wax motor designs has the brownish color body, just the actuator tips are different. You want the black actuator tip.

If you don't replace your brown tipped wax motor it will eventually short out which will damage your machine control board. The Q6 triac and R11 will fail and the door will not lock which prevents the spin cycle from happening. You can prevent this failure by replacing your original wax motor.

Here is a Neptune model list where the 12002535 wax motors reside:

MAH3000
MAH4000
MAH5500A (not 5500B'S)
2000 Stackers


Until next time...

appliance parts - Find what you need and save money

Appliance parts - Find what you need and save money Whether you have a Maytag Neptune front loader, GE refrigerator or dishwasher... 

You can order any part by visiting www.washerbearings.com/parts to order replacement parts other than tub bearings and seal. 

All you need is the model number and a description of what need replaced to find the appliance part you need. 

 I recently worked on an GE Advantium 120 microwave convection oven for a friend. The symptoms were that there was no heat in both microwave and convection modes. Everything else seemed to work. My friend replaced the relay board thinking that was causing the problem. After taking the unit apart it turned out that the 2 relays that control the magnatron and the heaters were not energizing. I took a chance and ordered the WB27X10858 logic board and it is now working. 

Here is a link to the service manual PDF GE Advantium 120 service manual Here is a list of all of the GE Advantium models that use the WB27X10858 logic board appliance part: PSB1000NBB01 PSB1000NWW01 PSB1001NSS01 PSB1200NBB01 PSB1200NWW01 PSB1201NSS01 SCB1000KBB01 SCB1000KBB02 SCB1000KCC01 SCB1000KCC02 SCB1000KWW01 SCB1000KWW02 SCB1000MBB001 SCB1000MCC001 SCB1000MWW001 SCB1001KSS01 SCB1001KSS02 SCB1001MSS001 ZSC1000KBB01 ZSC1000KBB02 ZSC1001KSS01 ZSC1001KSS02 ZSC1201NSS01 ZSC1202NSS01 

You can order the WB27X10858 logic board part by visiting www.washerbearings.com/parts to order replacement parts. When working on appliances make sure that you practice safety and unplug machine when opening the case and use care when probing with a voltmeter since you have to have it powered up when testing for voltages. 

 Until next time...
