[yogitunes]

Thanks Drew

that was a great explanation, as well as from John and Glenn......it will be of great help in the future should an issue turn up for others, as well as myself....keep them comming....the more details, the better.....

although I think Gordon has been rubbing off on you.....lol

Jerry, I can't wait to see this up and running for you......you should also keep the Frigidaire as a project machine for a wash-in....or you could start a whole room of stacked machines by different manufacturers.....wouldn't he be the first member to have an all stacked laundryroom?

Non Spinning Neptune

Great explanation Andy on the operation of these washers. The majority of no spin stacks that I have encountered [ other than the most likely bad wax motor and bad main board ] have had a broken wire in the balance circuit or the spin enable switch in the door lock assembly does not quite activate, often with the spin enable SW problem I have added a shim the thickness of a credit card and the machine would again work.

 

It is funny when these MT Neptune stacks came out we hatted working on them, but now when you stack a dryer on top of a FL washer the washer is nearly impossible to work on unless you first remove the dryer, so these MTs are at least easier to access for repair. The good news is that new WP, GE and Frigidaire FL washers are all far more reliable than the MT Neptune's ever were, but like any washer ever made they will eventually need repairs.

 

The class act in a FL stack is the SQs they come in both gas and electric dryers, [ you do need both a 240v and a 120v outlet for the electric model ], but this is a very rugged machine that can be usually serviced from the front without moving or unstacking the dryer. We are selling quite a few of the SQs to replace the Neptune stacks and lots of other stack brands also.

Jumping the switch

Well, that won't help as the machine will finish it's spin then tumble back and forth, fluffing the load until it senses the spin enable switch open as the door unlocks which tells the board to proceed with cycle finish and shut off. Tricky, huh? So is getting to it. Remove the four Phillips screws, two to each side, on the front panel. These hold the door hinges in place. Roll the 'uprights' or the two upper pieces of the front panel outward to disengage two clips then the panel drops forward a bit and you can lift it off. There are two 5/15" screws that hold the panel that hides the latch with clips. Now for the hidden screw that is only found on stacks! Remove the two screws that hold the lower dryer access panel on. There is one more small 5/16" screw that holds that latch cover on from the top right near the cycling stats. Now you can access the latch parts. Let me know if the wax motor needs changing as the spring that holds it in place can be tricky and easy to damage...
