here is a question.. found a used neptune fixed the wax motor thing and all of that put a new belt on it and all seems good till you load it up and it runs.. when the machine changes direction during the wash it pops.. not real loud but to me it feels like it comes from the real tub brg.. is that the cause and if so do you think it will last the way it is or what? have never done much work on a neptune but i could do a brg if i got a wild hair ha ha ....

ha ha go fiugre.. i ran it last night when it runs dry the noise seems to come from the drum brg area. but with water and a load it sounds like the motor? so im not sure.. but i did see on the back side where the drum pulley is attached there is a tiny hole on the top of the outer drum. its in the center and just above where the pully attaches,, there are some tiny metal shavings there is that a tub brg that is comming apart?

If it is a bearing problem, reach in & spin the tub by hand. You'll hear the bearings growl (& probably be able to feel it as well). Now, move the tub around. If it really bangs & knocks, or feels really loose, it probably is the trunnion/spinner support assy. I'm leaning towards this. We've changed dozens. I probably have 20 upstairs in the warehouse with this same problem.

The first Neptune I picked up had this same problem - the lip seal I had was bad and ended up needing a new outer tub - but it worked for a long time afterward and I sold it for a healthy profit. It is a rather interesting machine to work on, I just wish getting into the cabinet were a little easier...sharp edges and nicked hands for everyone!

Nice edges, eh? You know what Maytag's solution to that was? How about trying to make all the tech's wear kevlar gloves!! Yippee. They also recommended kevlar arm sleeves. At service schools, they told us over &over again, "we're not responsible if you bleed on someone's appliance." Nice, real nice. I'm glad to see you got it fixed up ( & that I was finally almost right on something!) |
