tub lights in neptunes
The tublight in the Neptunes is one of the main reasons they had the problem with mildew.The customers were too afraid to leave the door open in case the light would burn out sooner than expected.So,they'd shut the door tight after the final wash load was done and a week later open the washer and be surprised to see the mildew in the washer.I always question those who come in complaining about that if they'd do the same thing (close the door tightly) to their refrigerator or freezer in their summer home after the fall when they'd shut it down untill spring??Why not?because you say it would get mold in it? I CAN"T HEAR YOU!!!! I rest my case.

Well, I always keep the door on my Neptune 7500 closed when it's not in use, and it's never had a problem with mold. But the 7500 also has a fast last rinse tumble pattern to clean the inner and outer tubs of any mold food. I also use STPP in nearly every load, which helps prevent washer deposits and also gets the clothes and washer very clean. Add to that, at least one hot wash a week. Moral: no food for mold, mold won't grow. Mold can't grow with just plain water and a plastic or stainless steel surface. So, in other words, I wouldn't necessarily blame the tub light for the Neptune mold issues. I don't think leaving the door open will eliminate all chance of mold if the washer or detergent is leaving mold food in the washer, and numerous complaints of mold "even though I leave the door open" in various front loaders would seem to bear this out. By the way, it's not difficult to put the washer on a power switch so that one can cut the power to it when it is not in use. A side benefit for the 6500 and 7500 washers is that there will not be a phantom electrical load, and the circuitry will be protected from power spikes/surges while the switch is off. | ||
