If the ignitor is cycling but not lighting try the gas coils first. | ||

 But do we like Maytag Neptunes? My ex-wife had one and had nothing but problems with her Neptune washer...leaks, wouldn’t spin, etc. Must have been approx late ‘90s vintage. Yet she was bound and determined to hang onto it and its matching dryer. At the time, (2003), she didn’t like my ‘76 Frigidaire 1-18 because it made too much noise. After her hardwood floors were ruined by the Neptune washer, she eventually listened to me and ditched the Neptunes and bought a BOL Kenmore top-loader with matching dryer and was very happy. And do we really like front-loaders? Okay, it’s time for me to duck and run... | ||

SamTag....more of the Norge design, with a Maytag label slapped on.....
"if it doesn't say AMANA, its not a Radarange underneath"... just like todays Maytag(sheep) in a Whirlpool(wolf) body..... one of these things is not the same, one of these things doesn't belong.... but otherwise, Welcome to the World of a True Neptune SuperStack.....and the reason it was for 35.00, and had to go immediately!....but nothing that can't be fixed.... lets see, should there be a minimum of Neptunes to hold the title of having a FLEET! as for the dryer, yeah, I would check the solenoids...... you do know that with this unit, the dryer can come off to service the washer... | ||

Maytag Neptune FL Stack These are very serviceable machines with the emphasis on the word SERVICE.
We have lots of customers that still have these machines and they generate a lot of service money.
To replace the inlet valve it is best to remove the dryer, removing the dryer will also make it easier to replace the washers door boot.
Overall these are pretty decent machines and MT sold so many of them that there are still lots of parts out there. The other week at one of the places I go used appliance shopping there were three of these stacks there, one gas two electric, two of them had bad bearings.
I left them there as these are too old to sell any longer because anything we sell to customers we expect to remain serviceable for around 10 years minimum.
Thomas let me know if you need any good used parts.

I forgot to mention.... World Washer... replace bearings. (And as a prevention also replace the transmission) I'm also bringing a dual action or a 8-vane agitator from Brazil. They're both way better than the 4-vane agitator. By the way, are those transmissions still available here? Otherwise I can bring from Brazil (They're like $25 there, the whole kit with brake, spin clutch and bearings) | ||

Just for clarification...... This is the “Samtag” (as in Samsung-Maytag) Thomas was referring to, not even close to any Norge design! The only thing I like about it is I was able to easily adjust the water level up not long after I acquired it, so it now comes nearly up to the tub opening. Clarification part 2: I contacted the seller of the Neptune stack at nearly 9 pm. As Thomas mentioned, she was insistent that I pick it up THAT night, rather than first thing in the morning. Rather odd I thought, as I was getting tired etc. plus it was a 40 minute drive away. Regardless, as she was so insistent, I got my truck ready and headed off. So here I am at 10 PM in this woman’s garage disconnecting the unit and wheeling it to my truck. I headed over to Thomas’s place to drop it off. Got home about 11:30 pm. Kevin

Time to add some pics Mrs.'Tag and her roommates. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Six Flags. I'm sorry the room is still a bit messy and dirty. | ||

That's a great set. How does it sound when tumbling/washing/rinsing on the cotton/sturdy (normal) cycle? | ||
