Sounds like the one. Awaiting delivery of it. I am hoping it will be towards the end of this week. I was reading the manual for it on the Maytag website, it certainly seems to be versatile with all those features. |

Two messages received and downloaded for consumption later. Thank you for them, they will be very handy for reference. So, do you think I should swap the Maytag for the Whirlpool top loader? |

Hi Logixx. Yes it is an MAH7500 and the screens are as you posted. Thank you :-) It does also seem to have an in line transformer in the power lead that runs exceptionally hot which does concern me. |

If it has the line transformer on mine the entire machine runs at 110v. There were no 240v components inside my machine after the transformer. |

Is an American washing machine that was tweaked (not by much) for the European market.
First unlike many European/UK washers this Neptune only has about 1500 watts total heating power. When you couple the load size (larger than standard 5kg), amounts of water and possibly cold fill, yeah you are going to have long cycle times. More so if the machine is programmed not to advance timer until desired temps are reached. That and or use of certain cycles that naturally prolong time. www.ramanyusa.com/laundry_maytag_... While Neptune washers were advertised here in the States as having water heating capability , again at only 1500 watts it takes some time. However keeping the heating wattage "low" allowed for machine to plug into a standard 120v American power outlet. About that transformer; it is natural and quite normal for it to feel warm or even somewhat hot under long continuous loads. Again you are putting a lot of work on those rather puny heaters if they are called upon anything more than to boost warm (40C) water to hot (50C). Going from cold to 50C or 60C is also going to be hard work for that machine. Mayhaps try doing a cold prewash then filling with hot or at least warm water then letting the machine heat from there. That could take some of the work off the heaters/machine. |

Hi Laundress. I have tried many things to try and get the Neptune to fill with hot water as I would prefer that as the house water heater is set to 68oC. Very occasionally it will take in a small amount, even when setting a 60oC wash. |

If so have you tried using a "Y" connector and then controlling the water temp from the taps? This way you can send whatever water temperature you wish to the machine.
My Miele requires connections to both hot and cold taps. However if one wants or has a tap that has just one spigot Miele tells to connect as above (Y connector). |
