How to make the Maytag Neptune bearings easier to replace

How to make the Maytag Neptune bearings easier to replace...


I just improved the Maytag washer bearing tool kit rental by adding a piece of emery cloth to it. After using the included 2” wire wheel to clean the front bearing seat area I would recommend using the emery cloth to smooth and even take down the bearing seat a smidgen. It turns out that the Neptune bearing hub is aluminum and when the rusted front bearing comes out it can distort the aluminum and make it difficult for the replacement bearing to go in. This is just one of the reasons why I recommend that the bearings be replaced as a preventative measure after the machine has reached 10 years or so. See Neptune Bearing Tip For more reasons to proactively replace the bearings and 12002022 seal.

 Maytag Neptune Bearing Replacement Tip

I received this email from a Tony Tool renter after replacing his Maytag Neptune bearings... Obviously, WD was watching the instructional DVD that comes with the Neptune bearing tool kit rental.

"Hey Jeff Your tool was mailed this morning. Let me know if you need a tracking #. What a great tool. I took longer to get the grease off the DVD player remote control, then fixing the Maytag............wd"

Tip: Place your remote control in a plastic bag to keep the grease off of it  :)

Maytag Neptune Washer & Dryers Problems

boy what a deal!!! maytag offers the new top load neptune you would be be better off with the mold in the old one.The NEPTUNE T/L is nothing but a clypso like whirpool has and is just about the worst washer ever built!funny how both have lawsuits against them.do your self a favor people buy a whirlpool duet or kenmore he3 the are great washers ,,why spend $3-$400 in your neptune and still have nothing because if you have one of the first couple yrs neptune washer that came out your going to have problem after problem even if you change motor kit ,the mildew kit the wax motor the machine board and on and on there junk trust me i see them everyday in my trade..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The neptune top loader is junk. I feel very fortunate though, based on what I am reading. We originally bought the Kenmore HE3 models. They were GREAT and we loved them but only problem was they were too deep for our laundry room door to shut. Sears kindly allowed us to exchange them, we went to maytag neptunes....geez what a mistake. No mold though, but it was like running the clothes thru a mini-tornado. Fresh from the dryer they looked like they had been wadded under the seat of your car for a month, and all the necks were stretched, buttons off, etc. I don't iron much, so back to Sears, who assured us we were CRAZY and Maytag is the absolute BEST and EVERYONE ELSE loves these machines. Now we have the $500 hi-eff Kenmore basic models, they work like a charm and both together cost less than the maytag washer. I'm afraid all you settlement folks are going to get stuck with another crappy washer.

my front loading 1999 Maytag washer leaves our clothes, towels, bodies, and now house smelling like mold (throw-up). It is so sick, I am furious. I am taking my children to the doctors because of this prolonged exposure to mold, mildew, and whatever else. They better make this right for my family.

Problems Of Maytag Neptune Washer

The big problem with the maytag neptunes is the wax motor, which can melt (it's made of wax afterall) and take the motherboard out with it.
We just went through that with our Neptune - and got the class action lawsuit info two weeks later :).
I don't think current neptunes have this problem.
And we absolutely LOVE our neptune, so go figure.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have one too. Got the same notice. The class "payout" basically will get us a new *top-load* washer if Maytag can't fix our front-load. The problem is our W/D is stacked and a top-load won't work. I sent a letter to one of the lawyers listed in the notice... I'll let you know what I hear back...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you're thinking about hesitating -- check out the HE3 washer and dryer from Sears. Front load with see-through doors -- we watched the first load in fascination :)
Apparently they have a HE4 too...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I bought a new Maytag washer last year. They've really come down in quality in recent years. They used to be the best in the business. Now they still have the high prices, but they're no longer #1 in quality.

Maytag Neptune Washer Noise & Repair

First,I’ve Maytag Neptune Washer with Model No. MAH3000AWW  I noticed that these models have many problems by searching and experience and now there is a problem happened to me also it has been deafening.
My Maytag Neptune Washer became very noise lately , it make loud roaring noise whenever it hit the spin cycle. Sure it is the bearing

This particular Neptune Washer get noise before. Several times, actually. In fact, If I recall correctly, this would be the third bearing replacment on this machine. And I believe that it will not be the last repair for Maytag Neptune Washer .There is also a sordid history of control board repairs, wax motor replacement, drive motor replacement, drum boot retrofit, motor controller repairs, and more - it's very much a "project" machine. This machine and I are very well acquainted, but I digress. The important point is that during a previous bearing job, this machine was retrofitted with a "bearing repair kit" which was purchased from the internet. This kit eliminated the spacer tube between the bearings, so you won't see me trying to fit it into place, as I no longer have it. Just a heads-up.
