Per a wiring diagram, Ultra Care runs the heat circuit through a separate lower-temp thermostat. www.neptunebearing.com... Fellow here has several Tony Tools for rental, package deal includes everything needed. Requires a rental deposit (refunded upon return). Still seems high ... but maybe worth the cost if the tool works as well as claimed. |

I did machine number one in about 3 hours from taking apart to finish....not sure what I was doing, taking my time.... All it took was some simple garage tools, a rubber mallet, a wire whisk on drill...I did take the seals out of the bearings and really packed them with high temp grease, and then replaced, you really have to whack the bearing to get them out, and use the old ones on top of the new to hammer back in place, don't forget to reuse the spacer, make sure you observe which seal came off to install the correct one, this one puzzled me at first, a little auto sealant around the seal helps, and I had to put the whole assembly on 2 chairs and step inside the drum to get it to seat properly... but that puppy is super silent now, never noticed the other one needed replaced until I heard this one, so I got another set and will tear into that one soon... any questions...email me |

Our shop has the Tony Tool as we do a fairly large number of bearing jobs. We used to whack them out and even made a home made tool and did alright but there is always a chance of mis aligning/mis seating/damaging the bearings. Plus, we couldn't afford 2-3 hours to do the job to make it viable cost wise for the customer. (No knock against you, Yogi!) The Tony Tool actually makes it really quick and painless and we do the job with the outer tub mounted in the machine. Is the cost worth it for the home user for one job? Probably not. It is a wise investment for a shop that does many jobs. We turn around Neptunes for used sale for a decent profit, usually just the cost of the bearings,seal and updating the wax motor and belt. Another idea is for you to buy the tool and start picking up Neptunes that are being discarded for bearings. Lord knows there are plenty and most likely for free... Take them, fix them and sell them for extra income. The tool would quickly pay for itself. RCD |

1) The wax motor isn't sitting in it's place properly. This does happen. The end result is the plunger jams and doesn't extent and move the linkage. Apply 110v. with a jumper cord with the door closed to the wax motor and see if it extends and locks the door and hits the spin enable switch. 2) The control board is shot. If I understand you correctly, you repaired components on your board? The repair might not have worked and so you might need a new upper control. Is this a MAH3000 or MAH4000? I have a ton of good, used spare MAH3000 boards. I'm sure I could spare one. MAH4000 control boards are harder to get used so I currently don't have any spares... Post a model AND serial combo and I can look! If you want to verify that the high speed spin DOES work, close the door and put the washer into the spin increment. There's a little microswitch all the way to the right of the latch assy. This is the spin enable switch (btw, this switch does fail. if the plunger activates this switch and it won't spin, try replacing it...). Push and hold the switch closed and the washer will think the door is closed and locked and should spin up if everything else is ok. RCD |
