CODE BLUE, I NEED BEARINGS STAT!!!

motor

the"switched reluctance"motor in the early neptunes is basicly
just a jumbo stepper motor-a bigger version of the motor that
drives the paper feed and print head in a printer.
gives the early neptunes the "rrrrr"during tumble and the"UFO"
sounds during the spin runup.
My neptune,mah3000aww,has ser#of25145795uk,shows late '98
date codes on components so was made late '98/early'99
When i got it,it had the classic wax motor short/blown triac
problem along with a plugged pressure switch hose;
after repairing the wax motor and the control board it has been
a great washer-not bad for$25 and a few dollars for parts!

A local Maytag Commercial distributor should help you with getting a programming key. I can't imagine that the OPL programming is much different from the coin-op programming, so I can help you with that if/when you need.

fordtech/cz882:
Thanks for the info, looks like a fun motor to play around with.

PeterH770:
I may be able to get a key from repairclinic, i'll look around. There has to be a programming manual for this machine. Thanks.
