Last week while visiting my parents, I found out the washer wasn't spin drying the clothes. It would do all the rinses, and everything else, except the final spin. It will turn over the clothes both ways, but when it 'kicks' in to do the final spin, it makes a wierd noise, sits for a few minutes, then turns over the clothes some more. Is she looking at a new motor, or is this a control board problem? Oh yeah, this is one of the first Neptune models, from 97-98 without the touch screen. Thanks for the help! | ||

neptune woes all of the modern front-loaders tumble the clothes a bit to distribute the load ,the quickly ramp up speed. If there are only one or two items ,they may get confused, so to speak, and may not go into spin. I know, I know, it is SO annoying. | ||

FL Load Balancing I've found that if I'm washing one or two items in a front-loader, adding a few small towels will help to balance the load for spinning. This mechanism can be sensitive - even if washing one t-shirt. | ||

Neptune spin problem
Two things that you could have a problem with: #1 off balance switch open, there are usually three or four of them, one on side of tub one on bottom of lower tub weight and one on strut, there is also a mass switch on the board and tub that sense vibration. If you follow the wiring from the switches they are wired in series and plug in near the top of the machine where you can do a resistance check on all of them at one time. The other problem is the door lock wax motor, if the lock light won't come on it is bad and it burned out the r-11 resistor on the machine control board which means new wax motor and board. good luck
