Glad to see your liking you new f/l! Just a fyi on the noise and feet pads. The pads (if memory serves me) should have been on the feet that are actually on the machine. But the feet have to come off the machine to bolt the machine to the pedistal. The feet that were on the machine come off, then they go through the pedistal and back into the machine. In other words the feet are the bolts, so the pads are now not needed. The pads on the pedistal dont surround the whole foot. The pads should only be on the bottom part of the foot. They do grip quite well. Now the noise, we have had a ton of complaints about the noisey pump. Unfortunatlly I have not been able to come up with anything to quiet them down for more than about 3 days. The only thing I have been able to do is cause one to start leaking. :( gggrrr I have reported it to maytag but I dont think they have come up with anything yet either. My point being if the tech says its normal, dont be surprised, if he does stop it then PLEASE tell me. Scott |

I'm glad for you that it's all fixed now! Nothing is perfect. I think the important thing is that they stood behind the product and fixed it rather than blaming you for the way you operated it or blaming the floor etc. Does it have a “bulky items” setting that raises the water level like my Maytag Neptune Top Loader and Uni's GE Harmony has on it? |

I have said this before, and I'll say it again. Personal experience with the "BIG BOX STORE'S" deems STAY AWAY FROM THEM. It is not the Neptune that caused you the greif, it is because of where you bought the Neptune, who delivered the Neptune, how many times the Neptune was banged around, dropped and shoved in the warehouse! These are the issues that caused all these things, not Maytag. You need your money back, then go to the 'Local dealer" You will see the difference! Steve CLICK HERE TO GO TO Mayken4now's LINK |

Much depends on what detergent you are using (HE or Non HE) water temp, load size and soil level. In general start with about 1 2 tablespoons of detergent (HE, for non-HE you may need more but you may also have more sudsing), and take things from there. Skip down to the "Super" forum and you'll find various discussions on types of detergents and dosages. One thing to keep in mind is you really do not want large amounts of suds in any load with any detergent. Not only do heavy suds cushion the washing action, causing poor results; they also can damage your machine by causing "suds lock". Many front loaders have sensors to detect over sudsing and will go into "crisis" mode to deal with the situation. This can be adding extra cold rinses, or adding cold water/decreasing washing action to help bring down the suds level. Launderess |

Have you considered the Kenmore HE4t? It’s also the same machine w/ a few variations in the cycles. Kenmore always seems to cater to the customer a little more when it comes to the cycles, and Sears will let you return it hassle free within 30 days if you’re not satisfied (I love Sears, that’s my favorite store!). For a while they would let you try the HE4t for up to a year and return it hassle free. You may have a hard time returning something to a small mom and pop store. Jeff |
