Product review (5 stars): Old Neptune is now working again
This wax motor replaces the old style wax motor (old style has brown shaft and is prone to short causing control board damage and washer inoperation) to return the Maytag Neptune to operating condition. Check the control board and inspect for damage to R11 and Q6 on the board. The board can be repaired for less than $20.00 so you may not need a replacement board. This wax motor came with instructions showing how to install. Even a lady with long fingernails can replace her Maytag Neptune wax motor.
