    I have a MAH4000AWW that will not spin. When it gets to the cycle where the tumble motor should turn, the washer turns off. I removed the motor control bd. and found a shorted zener diode and a burned resistor. I replaced both but have the same problem. The only identifier on the diode was "15"which I assumed to be a 15v zener. Please hekp.

    Some how the washer does not turn on any cycle. When you start the cycle it gets full of water but tumbler does not turn. Remove back cover and remove belt. Motor does not turn at all, while the machine is trying to go through cycles. Before it stop working machine was doing a growling sound and all of the sudden stop working. Could it be the motor itself? HELP!!!

Check out your motor control board near the floor on the right side. These have a high failure rate on the Neptunes. Maytag redesigned both the motor and motor control board to be more reliable. While inspecting this board, you are looking for a blown 10 amp fuse and /or burnt components. If you have either... then you will need the the new motor conversion kit which includes the motor, motor control board and the wire harness.

These kits are offered on the www.neptunewaxmotor.com order form and they ship UPS Ground.

This kit takes about an hour to install.


Don't forget to see the info on the website regarding the defective door latch wax motor that will eventually fail and damage your machine control board.

Maytag Neptune Front Load Washer Model MAH4000AWW low last spin

two problems here,
your shaft seal is running on its last leg
the sound is unmistakeable and always described the same...
the water issue, you probably have a trickle leak through the cold water valve
the mixing valve is quite an easy repair, but I would have to say with all honesty, it probably time for a new machine
the hub seal is a tub replacment call
2 hrs of labor if hes good
and the tub runs around 500.00 dollars
sory for the bad news

Washer Maytag Neptune

Most likely the motor control unit, the MCU controls the timer (loop circuit). Best way to check is to just pull the MCU out and visually inspect it for burned components, although it is not always visible. You may need to make some involved voltage readings to verify.

Front load washer doesn't spin

My Maytag® Neptune® washer filled with water, but it won't spin or drain-what now?

Start by making sure the machine is plugged into a live (working) electrical outlet. Then check the appropriate circuit breaker and reset it if necessary (or check the fuse if you have a fuse box).

Next, inspect the drain hoses and remove any kinks. Take a look at the drain, too - if it's clogged, call your usual drain service person.

Then close the washer door and firmly press the START/STOP button. In a few moments, after the door locks, the washer should begin to spin. (For your safety, the washer will not tumble or spin unless the door is closed and locked.)

If this doesn't work, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-688-9900 for toll-free assistance and service scheduling if necessary.
