Yes all the baffles were removed. I have been using HE power detergents for a long time now. This tear down occured in Feb 2005 and there has been no reoccurance. The ventilation is for the boot area as that open area in the bottom hangs over the boot area. There is also a drain tube in the...

Well dont let pics fool you. That is just a box. I use Sears Ultra HE detergent and just use that box to scoop the Sears Ultra HE detergent into for easier handling. I also used Persil for a couple years as well. I certainly wouldnt use a non HE detergent unless it was very temporary and nothing...

And now you can have all the joy of owning BOTH 7500 models despite lack of avaliability with a lot of patience waiting for the parts. Of course if you dont mind paying full price for parts it can come a lot sooner. Hope this helps and hope you enjoy!

The final touch for me was recieving and assembling the matching door. Of course if you are upgrading a model 5500 dryer you will already have the correct door!

Then following the wiring schematic install the new control board and top and you now have 97 percent of the job done!

Now we just reinstall all those major components back in reverse order

next step was to thoroughly clean all components, replace the old sensor with the thermistor for electronic control, install the new harness and properly attach to correct components. You will want to have an MAH7500 wiring schematic on hand to assure correct wires to correct component and color...

Next step is removal of the wiring harness

Removed drum and belt for full access

Removal of the bulkhead, drum front and filter duct

Removal of the front door and front panel assembly of the base

Here is the removal of the old control panel and components.

You may have read my other post about the smelly Neptune. To recap I purchased a set of model 4000 Maytag Neptune washer and gas dryer in Jan 01 and had to clean out a heavy soap scum accumlation to return the washer to normal operation and modified my laundry habits to prevent reoccurance...

Thanks Steve! I hear you on the electronics problems on the early models. I replaced most of that stuff cheaper off parts from Ebay, like motor and controller for 50.00, upgraded the wax motor, upgraded control board. But in 2005 Sears had a NIB 7500 that I bought for half price that I replaced...

Thanks to all! This early Neptune didnt have an onboard heater. My 7500 model does and the 6500 models did as well. I personally havent seen one of these corrode up like the one in the LG thread. I have seen the one in the Commercial Neptune that was all coated with heavy dried soap scum on it...

Now the moral of the story. USE hot water washes at least once per week! Stop using liquid detergent! Use detergent in moderation! Use bleach in your whites each week. Some folks recommend leaving the door open, but I have never had to do that with either one of my Neptunes after following the...

And now once again a happy model 4000 Neptune is saved from an abusive front load lifestyle that changed radically and we have never had Neptune smells again!

Now this looks a lot healthier!

Remember that horrible front cover with saturated brisle seal?

Basket cleaned up
