Thanks to QSD_DAN who found this on C/L, actually in my own backyard as it were! I've always wanted a Maytag MAH7500AWW Touch Screen washer and dryer set but have never found any, other than for $1,000+. Well, I finally have the washer, anyway. Now the hunt switches to the dryer. This will actually bump my MAH4000AWW washer into the standby line. Huge capacity, water heating, 1000 rpm spin, and a control that has everything from fully customizable cycles to a stain library which will tell how to pretreat just about any stain then automatically set the washer to handle it. WooHoo!
Of course, I tore it apart and went thru it. The cabinette and main top were rough with dents, scratches and chips. I took care of that with a donor cabinette and top from a 5500. The control board had a intermittent flaw in it which was no problem since I had a good, used one waiting for this day. Updated the boot with the one with anti-microbial properties and decided to R&R the main bearings and seal which gave me the chance to try the Tony Tool. I cannot say enough about the Tony Tool and how stupidly simple it made the bearing job! I know, I know.. A lot to do for this washer. Well, it was a labor of love since this will be my daily driver for quite a few years to come (and I had all the parts I needed hidden away for this day...)

The console. I love this touch screen control. The on board diagnostics for this machine are just awesome. It sets trouble codes for easier diagnosis and the test routines are great including the ability to watch a screen that tells me what components are doing what and also what the washer is seeing as far as out of balance, motor rpm and torque, etc...

MAYTAG TOUCH SCREEN WASHER
Congratulations on your new washer I must admit I have a lot more respect for the MT Neptune's now than I did when they first came out. I think we were all so disappointed about the lack of a window that I didn't appreciate the easy serviceability that was designed into this machine.I would much prefer to run a service call on a MT neptune than any other modern FL washer. I have saved a Neptune touch screen top load washer and a new Maytag gas drying center for my ultimate laundry room I am building. I will also save a MT Neptune stack washer-dryer for the museum I already have a MT LSG1000 electronic stack in the museum.

When I first saw this set I thought it was a beautiful design. Then I noticed no window. How do you tell if you put in too much soap? How do you tell if your rinse is truly suds free? | ||

A Friend to Play With I have the same machine and I am not totally in love partly due to operator ignorance. I'll watch with eager anticipation as you reveal you experience with this one. | ||

Andrew that is a fun machine wow you have been so lucky with some nice washers!
I am always looking what your bringing in next lol. Congrats on the washer man, i look at the Neptunes for the sounds it makes pretty soothing when washing you can use your imagination with the sounds of clothes going around the sound of the Neptunes are distinct like no other so it will be a shrine in years to come good for you Drew. I saw your thread yesterday and when i was working at Gerhards appliance i got my neighbor the same washer it was a return in tip top shape and my boss sold it for 600 dollers and i called my neighbor and he agreed and ran to get it so i took a couple of pics. That was in 2006. Enjoy your machine ! Kelly i have training manual for the Neptune LCD model if you want it you can E-mail me if you want, Drew if you don't have one i can do the same for you.. just for the fun of it. They where washing when i went in the back door... see the little bug in the display how do you get that out do you think it is easy ?

Pic 2 Neptune spinning at 800 got there in time for the rev up to 1000 rpm's
it only holds that speed for a minute it seems, see the yellowing on the control panel & dispenser top already. That was fun to hear it go into high spin you can tell it has a solid Maytag feel. New washer Classic G.E. Gas dryer.

The bug gives it character...
It's easy to remove. Remove the cover of the console and remove the four screws holding the control board to the console. That will allow you to 'debug' the washer... lol! Thanks for the offer of the manual. I have a copy plus all the updates (and unfortunately, there are a few...) but since I am the senior road tech and have been doing Neptune repairs since inception, I could fix one with my eyes closed. No joke! I actually said that once and a co worker dared me. So I was blindfolded and he rigged one with a bad spin enable switch, a cut wire right at one of the tub displacement switches and a torn boot. Took me about 40 mins to find and fix them. Damn, I need a life...

I will not part with mine. I bought the set shown in 2004 and not a single repair. My sister has a touch screen set in Tahoe that has also been trouble free. My first generation Neptunes are at my brothers house. That washer did have problems with the wax motor locks and control boards but is still going strong today.

WOAH!
Andy, Andy, Andy - what a great find, and a dream machine to boot! The MAH3000 in my basement is very jealous right now ;-)
I've always wanted to try out the Tony Tool, but could never stomach the cost since I can't imagine doing a bearing job more than once or twice on these. Since the factory bearings are still good (crossing fingers) on the 3000, I hope to not need to change them out anytime soon. I keep waiting to find a 7500 locally for next to nothing, but the ones I run across still seem to be in good enough of shape to warrant a decent asking price. The 1000 RPM spin is to die for, plus touch controls, easy diagnostics, a heater... (I'm pretty sure the 3000 is going to kill me now)! Ben | ||
