I have 5500 Maytag Neptune washer that I plan to scrap. Any parts worth salvaging before it gets put to the curb? Machine is in rough condition with rust on the base so not a good candidate to rebuild. |

Is the top of the machine still in good shape? |

I'd be interested in the inlet valve if you're wanting to get rid of it and it doesn't leak. Ours has a leak in the hot side and will partially fill the machine overnight if the faucets aren't turned off. |

It does appear to be Neptune specific, at least for the 5500, I know the 3000 uses a different setup, but not sure if that one is specific or not. |

the digital versions used two different valve setups
they are interchangeable between models.....but sometimes you have to switch the dispenser module with it... if I am correct, one has a valve connected by a hose to the rail and solenoids for the dispensers.... the other one has the valve and rail all-in-one, and hoses leading to the dispensers... if your going to save parts....take off the valve, and what ever dispenser setup it has....also wise to keep the inserts and lid with all of it....the whole unit will fit either machine.... |

as for the valve....it is sort of 'that exact model specific'....but in viewing the actual valve, it looks as if a clip holds it to the rail.....so a replacement may not be that hard to locate, without replacing the whole thing....
