Oh wow it was early enough to still have the wax motors for the dispenser? Still do not understand why they thought that would be a good idea vs. the later 4 solenoid water valve... Congrats on your find! I am loving the recently revived MAH3000 I brought home a few weeks ago. Been the daily driver ever since. Of course I still spin the loads out in a Unimatic ;-) A nice modern front loader with speedy cycles and decent water consumption. My original thread (22271) is still active but the link below should suffice for now. Ben CLICK HERE TO GO TO swestoyz's LINK | ||

Okay, this is a really dumb question...but what is the difference between a wax motor and solenoid? I've noticed that this seems to be a Maytag thing... Thanx, Chris | ||

Both accomplish the same thing....to convert electricity into motion. A solenoid does it quickly, but with a noisy "snap". A wax motor does it quietly, but more slowly, as the wax is heated and then expands and moves a plunger. | ||

Just curious, did the Neptunes come out before or after Maytag was purchased by Whirlpool? | ||

the timer motor is real loud
Brian - the timer motor on my MAH3000AWW is pretty noisy too, but seems to function just fine. I suspect that they were always noisy from the factory - but that is just my gut feeling. I wouldn't be too worried about it. I know the timers on the later MAH4000's weren't as noisy which is why I thought it strange when I first washed in the 3000. Ben | ||

I have had mine new since 1999 and the timer has always been very loud when advancing in the cycle. Always works though. Jon | ||
