You can now spread your Neptune bearing replacement over 6 months, if needed

For my bearing and seal business I use PayPal, which accepts major credit cards, and they are offering an option when checking out for orders over $99, U.S. customers only, where you can get 6 monthly payments same as cash. So… if you've been putting off that bearing replacement now is the time for you to add more years to your Neptune’s life and spread the bill over 6 months with no interest.

See Neptune Bearing replacement and click on the PayPal banner on the left side for offer details.

If you decide to just purchase the Maytag Neptune Bearing and 12002022 Seal kit (not rent the tool kit) then you could add the door boot or belt so you exceed the $99 order amount to qualify. If you have an MAH3000, MAH4000 model you may want to order the bearing spacer just to have on hand in case yours is cracked or really corroded. If you decide to order a belt and don’t need it after inspecting your belt then simply send it back unopened for a refund. Don’t forget that a new bearing spacer is included with the Tony Tool kit rental so you don’t need to order one.

If you decide use the 6 months option just make sure you make payments to avoid any interest charges.

Other options if your Neptune washer needs bearings:

Use a local laundromat until you can save enough for bearing replacement
Buy a used unit on Craigslist
Visit relatives, neighbors and wash your clothes
Use washing board. See Neptune backup plan

Leave me a comment if you have another suggestion on where to launder your clothes until your machine can get fixed.

TIP: When sorting clothes check the pants pockets for loose change that can get into the pump and cause draining problems. 

I also offer other washer bearing and seal kits...  See Washer Bearings for more information.

Maytag Neptune Bearing - How To Install The White Plastic Spacer Clip - Earlier Lip Seal

When changing your Maytag Neptune Bearings and your machine has the earlier lip seal you will have to install the white plastic spacer clip correctly. Below is a video that shows you the correct orientation. The best thing to do is note the orientation before removing the clip. A client has suggested that you mark the front side of clip with Sharpie or equiv. Thank for that tip!


I hope you found this video helpful! Note: here is a link to my Youtube channel in case video is not working...

FAV6800 bearing and seal kit – washer parts

FAV6800 bearing and seal kit – washer parts

We now have available for your top loading Maytag washer the FAV6800 bearing and seal kit. There are two kits based on the first two digits of your serial number. You will need Kit 1 if your FAV6800 serial number starts with a 10 or 11. Kit 2 is for FAV6800 machines where the serial number starts with 12 and up.

In the past, you had to replace the inner basket and washer tub when the FAV6800 bearings fail or simply scrap the machine. Why scrap the machine when you can economically repair it and get additional years out of it? No special tools are required if you have a large crescent wrench. In most cases the tub seal will start leaking and that ultimately leads to the bearing failure.

Both bearing and seal kits include (2) bearings. Kit 1 includes the special one way bearing that should only let the inner basket rotate CCW by hand. See FAV6800 Bearing for more information.

www.neptunehelp.com has been offering Maytag washer repair parts for over 7 years now starting with the infamous 12002535 door latch wax motor failure on the Maytag Neptune front load washers. The Q6 and R11 repair kit we created allowed homeowners to repair their machine control board by soldering two components onto the machine control board thus saving a ton on repair bills.

After clients Maytag Neptune's started to sound like airplanes we created the Maytag Neptune Bearing and 12002022 Seal Kit. Then Whirlpool Duet and Kenmore Elite front load washer owners came to us and we created kits for their washing machines, too. Next we decided to create a new site called www.washerbearings.com as a starting point for all of the machines.

Keep in mind that if you need any appliance parts (not bearing and seal kits) you can visit www.washerbearings.com/parts to order replacement parts. Have your model number available when you visit.


Until next time...

Brody Stevens and Little Esther hangin with the Neptune Man

Here is a recent photo of me with Little Esther, Tonia, Brody Stevens. I bought a Groupon for a local show in the Columbus, Ohio area and it included a photo op. I thought... What the heck… Let’s get my photo taken with a couple of well known comedians. I will tell you more about Tonia later. She is creating a helpful website that will come in very handy for a lot of people.

Speaking of websites… If you have a washing machine… I offer special bearing and seal kits for when they start to get loud which usually indicates a tub bearing failure. I even rent a cool tool for the Maytag Neptune front load washers to help you save time and effort when replacing Neptune tub bearings. You can visit my main site at www.washerbearings.com which branches out to the different models.

Since I specialize in the tub bearing and seal kits you order the bearing and seal kits only from my sites and you can order other appliance parts by visiting www.washerbearings.com/parts to order replacement parts. Just have your model and serial numbers handy to help them look you your replacement parts.

I'm now officially called the "Neptune Man" and here is my song Vicky made for me http://neptunewasher.blogspot.com/2012/11/hey-neptune-man-song.html


Until next time…

Neptune Washer Bearing – Special tool saves time and effort

Neptune Washer Bearing – Special tool saves time and effort




Maytag Neptune bearing noise

It is obvious that your Neptune’s bearings are failing because your Maytag Neptune sounds like jet taking off when entering the spin cycle. Where do you start? Should you get a quote to have the Neptune repaired? Can you complete the repair yourself and save money? Should you purchase a new washer and dryer? How long will the washer be down? Etc…


Maytag Neptune washer bearing replacement

Let’s start with what a technician will quote you and why you will experience sticker shock. The quote to repair the bearings will run from $800 to $1,000 and the reason is that 99.4% of the repair techs will replace the large outer tub which runs about $500 alone plus labor and maybe a new spinner support in case yours is damaged. The truth is that you cannot tell if the spinner support shaft is damaged until you get in there but from my experience in most cases the spinner support is reusable. You can just replace the bearings and seal and get many more years of life from your Neptune front loader. There are a number of technicians using the Tony Tool to save Neptuner’s money so they won’t suggest that you replace the $500 outer tub.

I do recommend if you’re reading this and your bearings are still functioning that you proactively replace your Neptune bearings if your machine is 10 years old or more.


Maytag Neptune bearing kit

If you’re handy with tools you can replace your Neptune bearings without the special tool kit rental. There are a few things you need to know about how the bearings are installed in the machine. The front bearing is slightly larger than the rear bearing and there is a 1 ¾” pipe (bearing spacer) that is sandwiched between the bearings. When you remove the front tub seal you will see the front bearing and when you look at the front bearing’s ID you will see a tunnel because of the bearing spacer. Then you will see the rear bearing’s inner race where you have about 1/8” lip to grab onto to push or pull it out. The tool kit has a machined round nut that glides through the front bearing and spacer and will catch the rear bearing’s inner race and uses the leverage from the t handle to draw it out. Once the rear bearing comes out the spacer falls out, too.

Upon installation you install the rear bearing first using the tool. Next you place the bearing spacer on the PVC spacer holder and then start to draw the front bearing in. The tool kit makes this a breeze since it keeps the spacer centered while the front bearing is being drawn in and finally clamps the bearing spacer. If you don’t have the tool kit you have to come up with a way to hold the spacer when you install the bearings. So the tool kit rental saves you time and effort.


How to replace your Neptune bearings

The Neptune bearing tool kit rental includes bearings, 12002022 seal kit, a pair of snap ring pliers, 2” wire wheel, emery cloth, step by step DVD and an extra bearing spacer in case yours is cracked or corroded. Note: The earlier Neptune’s have a snap ring that you need to remove before pulling it. The wire wheel is to clean out the bearing housing after bearings are removed and the emery cloth is to smooth the front bearing seat in case of any ridges or ripples that may have developed due to the failed front bearing. The kit is shipped Priority Mail to you so you will receive it within 2 – 3 days typically. The http://www.neptunebearing.com/ site displays the estimated to ship days based on when tool kits return.


The Neptune 12002022 Seal kit

The 12002022 seal kit includes 2 seals. The earlier lip seal and the revised lip seal. You need to use the same one that you removed since they require different shaft machining. I have had some Neptuner’s decide to replace the spinner support so they could install the revised lip seal when their machine originally had the earlier lip seal but it is not necessary.


Maytag Neptune Washer MAH5500BWW bearings

I personally replaced the bearings and seal on a MAH5500BWW washer in 1.5 hours and it was my 2nd time of using the tool kit. I would also recommend having an 8 – 10 pound sledge hammer available when changing the bearings.

If you decide to use the to neptune bearing tool or go it alone you can get everything you will need at Neptune Bearing.

Until next time...
