I found a MAH5500BWW on Facebook marketplace I'm going to pick it up tomorrow.
I posted this in imperial because if the serial number ending is YH or earlier then it is 20 years old or more. I have had past experience with the Neighbors MAH4000AWQ. Is there anyway to tell if it has the 12002039 pre-installed or if I will need to order it if it fails? or do I have to remove the front cover and look in? I'm taking it regardless but just to save a bill of $120 on it. I already need to get the bearings and seal. Description of the listing is: Still runs and washes clothes (gets loud during spin cycle). |

The one that came with mine still works. I updated a friends MAH4000AWQ for the 12002039 and that completely ruined it for me. no more groaning/whirring. And no more Whirling on the final spin. this MAH5500BWW is JAN 2001. Hold on to those old ones. I don't want to ruin my very own. if it already had the 12002039 I would have said GOSH DANG IT! How much would the motor on it's own cost we have a soldering iron to fix the board in the event of a failure.

I parted out a MAH6500AWW. Took the door,12002039 motor conversion upgrade and the boards. I will probably install the 12002039 the next Time I use it. I want to preserve the original setup. The bearings were actually good and now I am concerned that someone just got their tax refunds and bought GARBAGE! new machines. The set was there. I wonder if I just dismantled a perfectly working washer.
