Hi Gary! The last couple of weeks have been crazy as I came down with a cold that has been going around, and I’ll say it was something fierce! Someone here was so kind to send me a service manual for a newer spindrier and by the looks of it I can access most of everything from the top. Now by...

well... today was a productive day! the DE502 was completely lubed and put back in to service and the 642C is next ( this week). The issue with the A502 was indeed the tension on the springs so I stretched out the new ones a little bit. now here is the good news, after putting the machine back...

They are stiffer and I’ll need to find them,if I didn’t toss them.

@yogitunes Thanks! I will give it a shot and let you know if it’s resolved. I was looking on the member collections yesterday and yours was one of the collections I looked through, you must really like those Neptune front loaders. My questions are how well do they work? Are they reliable and...

I do have the round motor in this machine. Its really odd that it seems to happen after I replaced the glides and springs considering that it was running so well before. Should I try to grease the track? Would it hurt anything?

As far as I know the belts are genuine maytag belts that say maytag on them.

Anyone have any advice? Correct me if I’m wrong but If im not mistaken the motor is supposed to slide back and fourth during wash operation and stay still during spin.

I figured I’d start off the new year on the right foot and hook up the A502 along with the 142. I did the maiden wash today and this is the first time it has been used since replacing the parts mentioned in the post above. The issue I’m having is that when it goes into spin the motor sounds like...

I’m very well aware about the whole transmission thing. I have opened up a couple of transmissions before, one being a maytag orbital and the other a whirlpool direct drive. As far as the full level goes I greatly thank you for that tidbit as I have not used or even attempted to fill the machine...

With the holidays I have not been able to bite into it just yet. I might attempt to tackle part of it this weekend coming up. Thanks for asking 😊

Thank you all so much for the wonderful compliments and advice!!! For now I am going to try the dampers, I clean out the dryer hoses every 3-6 months and inspect them regularly. I have found out that I actually have less lint build up in the vent with the maytag dryers than I had with the...

thank you guys! yogitunes, yes it is zigzagged like that for now until I put a T splitter in so I can vent 2 dryers. eventually i will be hooking up all 3 dryers and all 3 washers I have but for now i just have the 142 and 642c in operation. my plans are to move the machines into my "back room"...

I know it isn't much but over the past few months I have acquired some wonderful machines. with the help and advice of some of the members here all of the machines are up and running as they should with the exception of my Easy Spindrier (not pictured) as that is the next thing to be gone...

The washer itself works, its the spinner that doesn't. not to mention I put some water in the machine because I read somewhere that someone mentioned something about bad seals and sure enough it leaks like a sieve. so at this point it needs to come apart anyway. now here is the real question...

thanks Gary! I will give that a shot. There are quite a few videos of these in action on youtube and they seem to be pretty impressive in terms of rollover action.

I believe it is a drain lever.

Hi Gary! All levers move very easily and seem to be well lubed up. What’s odd is that when I go to engage the spinner by pushing the lever to the right The shaft turns smoothly by hand and I can somewhat feel the gear wanting to engage. I take it these have a brake of some sort because when I...

hello I picked up this easy spindrier last year from a friend who picked it up at an estate sale. When I got it from him the spindrier would not engage into spin. I suspect that the transmission has an issue and would like to see if I can get it working again as the Easy seems like a really...

That’s funny because my DE502 dings on all cycles. Do any of you think that I can substitute a gasket from another model? I have access to a gasket that would fit my DE502 but before trying it I just curious as to what your thoughts are. I would like to use the dryer as it runs great and also...

Typo in the title meant to say 642c help
