What happens is the machine will stop spinning because the door latch will fail to lock. Deep inside it is caused by the mechanism that locks the door. The wax motor will draw too much current and damage the control board by burning a resistor (R11) and a triac (Q6).<BR/><BR/>However, if Neptune owners know to replace the door latch wax motor they can prevent the control board failure from happening. Please tell everyone you know about this important fact. <BR/><BR/>The older Neptune’s also have a couple additional issues such as the moldy door boot and the reliability of the motor / motor control board. All three of these issues were involved in the class action lawsuit a couple of years ago. See http://www.neptunewaxmotor.com for more Neptune information.<BR/><BR/>In addition, I just now started offering a bearing and seal kit for the Neptunes because when the bearings fail Maytag wants you to replace the whole outer tub for a service quote of around $900 or so. Why replace the whole outer tub? Just replace the worn bearings and 12002022 seal… See http://www.neptunebearing.com for the Neptune bearing kit information.<BR/><BR/>The older Maytag Neptunes run great once you take care of some small details...Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00820683363551104062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35515539.post-66661042303350701042008-10-01T17:46:00.000-04:002008-10-01T17:46:00.000-04:00Wait?

Maybe Ma could have your washer and you could get a new one? OR encourage her to get the model you'd really like and one day it might be yours? Probably not...
