Eugene's advice and assistance, not to mention this video, just saved me over $2000. Big shout out. Quick summary - we have one of the original Maytag Neptune washers from 1995. It worked great until recently the bearings went. We were ready to buy new machines when we saw Lorain's other videos reviewing machines and we arranged for a consult with Eugene, thinking we were talking about new machines. When he heard what we had and what the problem was, he suggested that the machine we have is worth keeping if we can fix it. I ordered the parts kit from him and watched this video several times. I spent several hours pounding away to get those bearings out and then pounding in the new ones. And I mean really pounding. At one point, I thought it was not going to happen. During the process, I had a few questions which Eugene graciously answered. Once done, the washer seems to be working perfectly. A couple of pointers for those watching this video and who might be considering their own repair. First, I sprayed WD40 on the old bearings to try to get them free. I think it helped. Next, it was a bear to get the new bearings seated all the way, especially the back one. The front one can be drawn in by bolting on the pulley and tightening down as he suggests. On my machine, unlike this one, there is a spring retainer clip holding the rear bearing, so it has to get far enough in to replace that retainer in its slot. The challenge was getting the bearing perfectly square to the hole. If it tilted just a little on insertion, it wouldn't move. And even though I was hitting the old bearing over the new, it wouldn't budge. It was because it was very hard to hold the old bearing perfectly aligned with the new. Solution - installed the spacer and front bearing and seal and then inserted the drum so that the splined shaft came through the back. Then I placed the old bearing over she shaft, and by doing this, it was held in place to enable me to hit that against the new all around to seat the new bearing. To avoid hitting the splined shaft with my sledge, I used a cold chisel on the old bearing and moved around in a circular pattern to drive the new one it down into place. Another tip - the door wouldn't come out easily, but if you simply remove the four screws (two on the door hinges and two on the opposite side) you can close the door and then remove the front panel. Then it's easier to get the hinges and blanks out of the slots. And reattaching the bellows spring was not shown. I found another video on that. Trick was to use vice grips to hold the end of the spring and then I could pull it far enough. If I lived near Lorain, you bet I would be buying my appliances from them. Great advice for sure. thanks.

Received my kit this past Friday. Watched video over and over. My washer sounded like a jet turbine engine in the spin mood. The bearings were a beast to get out. Everything in ours was disgusting after 25 years of washing. Every part was taken apart to clean. I ran the washer several times and to check for leaks and make all is working well. I love my machine and so glad I found this video and parts to repair my washer hopefully for another 25 years. Thank you for posting this video and parts.

Thanks for the video - exactly what I needed to fix my 20 year old Neptune. This job is not for the faint of heart and requires a lot of ingenuity when things don't go exactly right.

I fixed my washer thanks to you 🙏 I’m a 10 year carpenter who can fix anything and I still had a tough time with everything. I had no luck removing by drum with just a 2x4 and sledgehammer until I found a suggestion in the comments to put the bolt all the way back into the threads and smack the head with a sledgehammer. My bearings were so rusted, what helped me remove them was a 1” cold chisel and an 8 lb sledgehammer working all sides evenly. To install the bearings I wouldn’t suggest old bearing trick, I smashed the hell out of my finger. If I were to do it again I would just hit the bearing in as much as I could with a sledge and 2x4 protecting the bearing then go buy some unistrut washers and some long, medium, and short 3/8” bolts with a nut. Use those on both sides of the new bearings and tighten the bolt so it will compress the bearings into the shaft.

Just saved our 20 year old Neptune thanks to this video! Although I had other issues, such as completely obliterated bearings that had to be beaten to crap to remove, the process shown in the video were absolutely priceless to me! Thanks a bunch!

This video was really well done and helpful. I ordered the repair kit from you at Lorain Furniture from the link above, and am really satisfied. The kit arrived in 2 business days and it included the high quality SKF bearings, like you said in the video. I did the install about 10 days ago, and the machine is working great. One piece of advice (if I was doing it again) is, after you remove the metal inner tub, tape over the drain on the inside bottom of the plastic tub so no debris gets in there while you are working. I learned this the hard way when I was pounding on the old bearings I ended up with a piece of old broken ball bearing and a chunk of wood down in the rubber drain pipe and water pump. Had to remove and clean out both of those, which is ok, everything is all clean now and working fine. UPDATE: Two years after bearing replacement and lots of use and machine is still running like a champ.

This was pure gold and helped me a lot , thank you. Unable to source decent bearing where I live so ordered Chinese parts from Amazon. Pulled the seals off and pressed wheel bearing grease into both sides. I used an automotive bearing tool to pull the new bearings in nice and flush, worked great. The most difficult part of the process by far was reinstalling the bellows with the cable/spring - other than that my washing machine is now nice and quiet. Thanks again!

I ORDERED YOUR KIT!! SO AWESOME! Washer sounds brand new! Thanks again for this great video and Parts to order!!

Great video! My MAH4000 is 20 yrs young, but the bearings were both failing and so I replaced them as per the video. Washer now works better than new so I am told. Three notes: The front bearing was good and stuck and needed a 12 lb sledge and an old cross tire iron...and about an hour. Then, you should check the clearance of the pully on the spindle before final assembly so that you can tell if the bearings are pressed into place after tightening. Finally, there is a retaining ring on the MAH4000 rear bearing that did not show up in the video. Thanks so much for your nice video...the control board and door switch failed and we replaced them six years ago...so now we are good for another 20 years...

March 2020. Great instructions. I grew up in Lorain, and was happy to see a solution from my hometown. I have a model MVWB850YW0. It's about 8 years old. Someone asked about the seal. The rubber seal gets mounted with the larger cavity pointing downward. I noticed that on the new seal I got, there's a small coiled spring on the inner lip. That's the side that points downward. I bought the bearing seating tool, and it was well worth the $130. I still saved about $300 by doing the repair myself. I didn't have any trouble getting the stainless steel drum/basket up off the shaft, so I didn't need a drum removal tool. One tip: I attached chains to the lid, to hold it up and out of the way. I didn't have a wall that was convenient.

Thanks for the video - tackled the bearing replacement today in about 3 hours. Can't believe how quiet it is again. Much appreciated.

Good video! My washer doesn’t sound like a 747 coming in for a landing now. A little different working on a stackable washer/dryer, but everything turned out well, thanks! Might get a few more years out of it.

You really do a thorough and clean job on these projects that you undertake. You would definitely be my repair man of choice if you were in my neck of the woods.

I was selling appliances for Circuit City when these machines hit the market and they were something else. I’ve always thought that they were robustly built and washed incredibly well. It’s a shame that a few flaws led to such major ramifications for the company because I know a few people who still have them and since they’ve always cleaned them monthly and left their doors open for a few hours after use have never had a problem. There are aspects like the baffle design that I wish someone would copy today.

Great video. Bought the kit and attempted to proceed. I thought I could do this without much problem since I was a Maytag tag back in the 80’s. Well taking everything apart was easy till I got to the bearings. Beating on them for almost 2 hours over 2 days. Figured ok past the hard part now time to put bearing in. They wouldn’t go in to save my life. I greased them and made a piece of wood so I could hammer them back in but 2 hours later I got them in but I could never get them to go in Al the way. Now new bearings won’t come out and tomorrow a new washer is getting delivered. Hope others have better luck than me.

Awesome Eugene Another Neptune Saved From the Scrap yard! NOTE: It took me 3 days to do this on my MAH4000AWQ because I had to make a press tool and this video was not around I did not even know you back in may 2017

thank you- ordered this kit from you and called twice with quick questions and you answered them. appreciate it

Highly recommend!! I ordered his kit. Video was spot on. Took me about 4hrs by the time I unhooked it and carried it to my garage. I would recomend putting it on some saw horses or something. My bearings were original and came out hard. Thanks for the video mine is so quiet ive been putting this off for a year lol.....

Another "Great" video Eugene... I Remember when these machines fist came out, I had to put a $50.00 deposit down on the deluxe model to be assured that I would get one of the first that come off the assembly line... The bad thing was after it was delivered and set up, the very first load flooded my laundry room out!!! The repairman came out and found that the boot wasn't put on correctly and once it reached a certain level, it kept draining out all over the floor!!! After a 10 minute fix the machine was up and running and "NEVER had a problem with it again... It was a great machine... Thanks for the video and have a "Great" weekend!!!

Thank u for this Eugene. I currently own this same model and i love it. Its 12 yrs old and its still going. It uses alot of water and spins my clothes very well.

Perfect. Finally someone is intelligent enough to cover the details. I just wanted to know how far that shaft should be sticking out into the pulley. So it has to be flush. Shit I got another 3/8 inch to go. Well I am afraid to use the pulley to suck the shaft out. I am going to use a socket. I don't want to break the pulley. I have used the proper seal in the front matching the old one. But I have a feeling that my maybe front bearing may not be all the way in. Yea I have been having fun alright.

I did this job on our Neptune in 2016 and it's screaming again. Getting a top load Matag delivered tomorrow. I hope I have as good luck with this new one as we had with the Neptune.

Excellent video. I have a Maytag Neptune that was starting to get loud during the spin and extract. I bought the bearing kit and watched the video a couple times. This fixed the issue and the machine runs quietly now. Just what I needed. The video was very informative and the bearing kit was a perfect match. Thanks so much for the information and providing the kit. A local dealer could only sell me a tub assembly for around $600. Very much appreciated and thanks again.

One more thing I wanted to add that helped me a lot that I forgot to mention get some what’s called PB blaster and spray the bearings down and give it a few minutes to a half an hour I think that’s what helped me immensely to get that inner larger tub bearing out!

Excellent video, thanks for the help! We can get a few more years out of our 20 yr old washer. Also gives the opportunity to clean out a lot of garbage inside of it while it’s a part.

Changed my bearings today on our Neptune. Thank you for your help.

My wife and I had the same washing machine for over 14 years until the main bearing went to screaming like one of my children when I use to whip their ... . lol. So we decided to just call it worn out as one of the appliance guys told me it would cost near $800 for parts and labor. I now know he was full of sh.. . After watching you make this repair, it would have been a piece of cake for him or me to take on. I may have taken me a little longer than it did in this video but I am pretty good at fixing things. SO, we bought a new Maytag front loader two months ago. Since then we had had a local appliance repair company send their worker to my house 3 times to replace the springs, shock absorbers and computer trying to stop the damn thing from tearing itself apart. When it starts the spin cycle and toward the end of the spin cycle, it shakes so hard it walks over 3 inches until it hits the wall. The sales company has sent a video I took of the machine to Whirlpool and waiting on the next move by them. NO, my floor is solid. I wish now I had purchased the GE machine. According to a survey I watched, Maytag is not second to the bottom for repairs in the first year and GE is at the top as the best machine. Go figure. I want my Neptune back.

Thank you for teaching us,we can not afford someone else.You made it so we could have a washer.

Thanks for the video. Will definitely order your kit. The bearings are probably the last part besides the cabinet to be replaced on our "trusty" maytag neptune washer!

Thanks for the video my parents gave me this unit about eight years ago and I believe they bought it back in 2002 and now finally the bearing starting to make noise when it goes into high speed spin mode…. So it’s probably time to do what you did!

I really liked the tutorial. It's pretty clear and gives good tear down instructions and recommendations for putting the bearings back in. Mine was a little harder to tear apart because the shaft didn't want to slide past the large bearing due ti corrosion. My 3 tool suggestions are a bearing / seal driver if you have one for driving the bearings and the seal, a brake spring tool for putting the spring back on and a pair of work gloves when tightening the stuff up in back, the edges are sharp.

Thanks for this video indeed! Many helpful tips and the camerawork was super. This is the second time through for me, and I practically wrecked the shaft trying to dislodge the bearing. The rear one in my case. I had to file the shaft down carefully and finally got the pulley on. Machine works great now, SO quiet!

A light when your working on the back would of been great but other then that helpful video thanks

I replaced the bearings on my washer today. This video was very helpful. Thanks!

Very thorough and in fifteen minutes! I know our bearing is shot but videos I saw made it look like an eight hour job, with special tools. I like the brand mention, I know bearings but I probably would have just grabbed any available (then you gotta do it twice).

Good video. makes it look easy, mine was a beast to get the front bearing out. difficult job. Had a heck of a time getting the pulley arm lined up right.

Ordered the kit from Lorain and tackled over New Years, so unfortunately there was no "calling a friend" for answers. Video was spot on, however our washer required the other front seal than was featured - but both variations come with the kit. Also requires that triangular plastic piece between front seal and bearing. Video shows O-ring replacement around shaft but I did not find one on our original - could've been obliterated over the years or maybe this model doesn't require it, who knows? I installed the new one regardless. Of extremely important note, the rear seal is held in place by a spring clip which is NOT pictured in the video. Failure to remove this clip could scuttle your repair. My spring clip pliers weren't large enough but I made do with 15" needle nose pliers. Overall the Lorain video was EXTREMELY helpful and, save for beating the heck out of that corroded front bearing for removal, was a pretty simple, straightforward process. If you're viewing this video to decide whether to tackle the job, support Lorain and purchase parts kit from them. Pricing is competitive and supports the company that enables you to do the job in the first place.

Saved The Day! Thanks for the video.

Thanks! I just ordered the kit. A whole lot cheaper than a new washer.

A couple of things that might help, put a 36" 2x4 at an angle across the front of the tub inside the front sheet metal front edges this will stop the tub from moving as much when you hit the shaft and instead of a wooden block screw the washer and bolt back into the end of the shaft until it is tight to the shaft and hit directly on the bolt head (and only on the bolt head) I could not get mine to move until I blocked the front tub and hit directly on to the bolt head in the back. Does not hurt to set washer at an anle and put penitrating oil on the shaft and let it sit for a couple of hours Used two pair of small vice grips to remove and install the spring holding the rubber. Check to see if there is snap ring on the back of the rear bearing, there is one on mine and unless that is removed you can beat on that back bearing forever and it won't come out. I have a MAYTAG NEPTUNE FRONT LOAD WASHER MODEL MAH5500BWW been running since 2001. Good luck on your project.

Thanks for this video. It was extremely helpful. Installing my new bearings and seal today.

I am jealous. This machine is fairly clean. I would love to get my hands on a clean pair! Thanks Eugene for you work and time.

Thanks Eugene, I really liked this how to repair video and would appreciate more.

I have a commercial Maytag MAH21PDAWQ is the processes to change bearings the same or similar. Your video was great

Thank you for this video! It helped me replace my bearings.

your subject model washer is exactly the same as mine... thanks brother...

Awesome video. My sone and me are going to tackle it on Saturday.

Excellent video sir! Just ordered your kit thanks so much! 🇨🇦

Thank you very much for video! Help me fix my Maytag washer !

The best way to get the mold stains out of the Bello is using Tilex mold and mildew remover make sure the Bello is good and dry spray let it dry add some more do it several times and you’ll watch the mold fade away and then run a rinse cycle and you will be very happy with the results

Replaced with cheap amazon bearings from China. Lasted one year. This time I went to bearing supply in Michigan, made in USA. $62 for both but they will last. Used my seals from the cheap kit and used the bearings to take to the bearing supply store to identify

OK so I was able to finally get the drum out and the shaft I took my 3 pound sledge and a big chunk of wood and beat the crap out of The back shaft and finally the drum came out I took a lot of your techniques about reusing the bearings on top of The new burns but what I did on the new bearings as I put them in the freezer which helped a lot I also put a light coating of anti-seize around the outer race as I was setting the bearings in also you may want to tell people to make sure that the inner collar if it has a tapered shaft I believe that goes towards the back bearing. The little O-ring that goes against the shaft and the inner drum I lubricated it with some light silicone grease and what I did as I took the collar that goes over that little O-ring and placed it on the shaft obviously I cleaned everything quite well before I replaced anything, after that I took that little steel collar and put it on the shaft against the small little O-ring and tried to sit that with a screwdriver taken care not to bend it, after that I lubed it up with a Maytag grease Install the seal using some rubber compatible silicone around the outer race to help it sit and then I also used some special automotive silicone on the inner seal or the shaft meets against that collar in the drum. Instead of using your method of just tightening it down which is a good method I used a torque wrench and found the OEM foot pounds which is 33 foot pounds. Thanks for your video I appreciate it I think the hardest part was trying to get the drum and shaft separate from the old bearings!

I have a GE Profile top load from 2006, and for a month now it makes "grinding" sound when agitating. I think it's the transmission, but not sure. The part it $300, but it's not something I can easily replace myself (I did replace the water level hose and sensor earlier this year myself). So now I'm looking to replace the unit with either the Maytag Commercial 575 or the GE 755.

I'm followed yesterday. I noticed ar 9:40, you take the metal piece and o-ring off, but, don't put the metal piece back on. the kit has a new metal piece. I just slid it over and it kinda snapped into place. I suppose that's all there is to it. Also, I don't see the Rear Bearing being installed. I suppose that goes in 1st, then the spacer, then the Front bearing? (update, did that) I used a jack handle. Put the old bearing over it, then the jack handle through the hole. Then, hammered the old bearing. Worked super. The rear one was HARD. The front was cake. Sadly, all key parts are FF through, such as the bearings, and how to get the new seal on, putting the front metal clips back on, and how to put the spring cable back on the front rubber things, which I’ve been trying for an hour to no avail. Would be super to watch in real time. Update: Day #2, still can't get the cable and Spring on. Had 2 people try. Finally thought it was on, then, on 1st run, it popped off, ended up inside the machine and it dumped it's water on the floor. *Update*. The trick is too remove the rubber gasket from the door, and install the cable that way

Thank you very very much for the instruction video and the parts. Parts are not for sale in canada. Why? I don't know. Did the job in 5 hours. Don't hear a thing anymore. And a happy wife.

Excellent repair aid! Thank you

Great video! I just get a “like new” set of the touchscreen model for $300, love old electronics, and always want it a set. Watched the video to give the washer a deep cleaning. I guess Maytag stop doing the front seal so people buy the new stuff

Great video, thanks a lot .

Excellent job, excellent video. I have the same, a machine given to me, tested with 1 empty load water only. Everything is fine but the bearing is noisey if you stand behind the unit. I do not know if the upper of 2 port weep holes is a spot where the bearing can be oiled? But.. worth a try, at some point, I will consider getting your rebuild kit you have assembled. The good news is the door bellows is in good shape and I cleaned and washed it with bleach, I need to wipe it dry yet. Thankyou for your fine,, very fine video.

Hi Eugene. That snap ring on the rear bearing must be removed. Can you edit video? Fantastic video and big help! Thanks!

Tip for getting ring off of spinner support: rent a slide hammer and front axel puller (fork style) from your automotive store. Let it sit overnight with a strong solvent/lubricant, then use the slide hammer. I've done this repair twice and both times that ring was a MAJOR problem.

I just got this machine today

I love your video looks so simple.

thank you very much kind sir... great video

Hi Eugene, Thanks for a great video. I've got a Neptune MAH4000AWW made in Oct of 99. I bought it from a lady who had four kids and a husband about 3 or so years ago. I took it apart to clean it up and clean out that nasty brush type thing they have at the bottom of the inner tub. That was DISGUSTING and I don't know why Maytag would ever put something like that in there. So it catches some lint, but it doesn't wash it away, so you're left with the gunky mess. Anyway, the only thing I've done with it is I just changed the belt as the machine was starting to slip a bit. Otherwise, the machine seems perfect. I don't notice anything unusual with the spin (bearings) but am wondering if I should just go a head and replace the bearings since they are still available. What are your thoughts? Thanks again for a great vid. I do wish you would have show how you got the spring back on around the boot. I remember I had a heck of a time getting mine back on.

Going to do the new installation of the bearings on the Maytag Neptune. But the soap dish on top is pretty gnarly and wondering if you sold that part as well. Thank you for the great video.

Good job! Good video! Thank you very much!

Thanks so much! Great video.

After doing this multiple times because of premature bearing failure, I've realized that hammering the bearing in just doesn't get them seated properly. You really need to rig up a press system with some big washers, bolts, and threaded rod. The washers need to be big enough to cover the outer race of the bearings. I believe the OD of the front bearing is 2.75" and the OD of the back bearing is 2.375". There used to be a tool available online but it was extremely expensive. The middle spacer should not be bouncing around freely and should be squeezed up against the inner race of the bearings.

Great video thank you

Great step by step. I was in the store before Xmas from Michigan to get parts . Everything went well as noted in the video . Ran a test cycle and it was like brand new. Once we loaded it up in the last 5 minutes of the spin cycle there was a loud metal clanging . I re- tourqed to 44lbs thinking the bearing were not drawn in to the shaft collar. That really did not help . Any thoughts ? I was going to disassemble to see if the spacer collar is loose between the bearings . Any thoughts Would be appreciated

Excellent video

Please be advised that there is one step that is missed in this tutorial. On the back of the tub before you can beat the bearing out, you must remove a ring with a special plier's. Thankfully I had 1 in my toolbox..

Thank you so much!! I did it! LOL

I just confirmed with my parents easily 20 years that’s quite impressive for a machine I don’t think any machine nowadays will last that long that’s 20 years of almost every day use impressive….

If you check time mark 12:19 of the video, you can see that you left the metal sleeve in the tub seal that was supposed to be installed on the spinner support shaft with the O ring.

GREAAAT! video. What did you use to glean the outer tub? Thx!!!

Thanks! I just ordered the full kit with belt from you. What’s your opinion about putting the bearings in the freezer for a few hours to open up the tolerance a little more for installation?

I needed to see how you put that bearing sleeve on the driveshaft. Does it get driven on or does it all squish together and seat on the o-ring? Otherwise great video.

Fantastic video. I'm at the part where I'm supposed to remove the spin shaft. I whacked it until my hands hurt. I used a rubber Mallett first and then I used a wood block and smacked until I broke the wood. Am I doing something wrong? The darn thing won't budge.

When you receive your repair kit make sure when you remove the bearings before you attempt to reinstall the new ones you measure the inside diameter of the bearings that you're replacing with the ones that came in the kit. In my case the rear bearing had a .5000 of an inch smaller inside diameter which made it totally impossible to push the shaft back through the bearing and complete the job. With all the aggravation and frustration ended up replacing the washing machine.,

One thing he did not mention , there is a snap ring that must be removed to drive out the back Bearing on some models

Thanks for the help, when I tighten the pulley nut in the rear it’s dragging and does not want to spin easily. What did I do wrong?

Screw and tighten the bolt back on the spin shaft. Hit the bolt's head (only) as much as you can until the drum comes out or place a correct size of a socket head on the bolt and hammer the socket. The kit should come with a new bolt any way.

This video has been very helpful but I only see you putting in one bearing can you please show how to get both of them in I'm having issues with how to get both bearings in

That's got to be the cleanest spider I've seen in any used front loader! I have the 5500 Neptune and though I love this machine, I also tend to wonder what it's "supposed" to sound like. Have the bearing gotten gradually louder over the years? I don't know. It bumps and bangs up to spin speed which makes me think it's due for new struts.., but maybe it's supposed to do that. Otherwise I love the machine! Do you think you could post a quick / short video of the washer in all of it's cycle sounds?

Great video. Need better lighting on back of machine, and what about installation of rear bearing?

Put the new bearings into the Freezer the night before....this will shrink them and they will almost drop in.

Hello Eugene, I thought it would be easy to pull out the basket, but I'been trying to do it with no success. Could you share any thoughts to do it? It seems the bearing at the rear is very stucked to the rotor. I would really appreciate it. Mine is the Neptune but the model with dryer/washer.

Will You do a road call..? bring the bearing kit… about 60 miles south..

@LorainFurnitureandAppliance I have the same machine as this video. Looks like there is some type of retaining rings (like two pieces) holding in the front bearing. Got suggestions on how to remove them?

Can you come fix mine in LA? I'm scared... haha great video.

Great video. How well do those Maytag Neptune’s perform compared to newer fl washers? Thanks!

My Maytag Neptune is making me slam the door for it to work. It comes up FL and makes a weird noise. I have had these since 2005 and my friends bought them brand new. My friend past away that gave them to me and now I’m even more sad when something happens to them but I’m hoping I can fix it

I was ready to tackle this job but the washer maybe too heavy to move out of the closet. Questions: How much water is left in the tub normally? When I manually spin the tub I can hear a lot in there. Can I get it out to lighten the machine? Also, how much will the weight lighten when I remove the door, front, and top? Any other ideas would be much appreciated. I have the parts ready to go. I've been putting this job off for at least a year and a half. LOL

Thanks!

I really appreciate this video. I would definately like to know where to get the bearings replacement kit please. I know this video is old but I had an appliance shop refuse to sell me a belt be ause I wouldn't buy another washer.

Hey guys I found the torque spec for that back bolt when you put the new bearings in it everything it is 33 foot pounds!

Great video! I ordered your kit and got the bearings in. One problem I’m having is my door will not close properly. Seems like it’s not lining into the bellow.. I’ve tried adjusting everything but nothing working for me. Basically I’ve worked on the door longer than it took to replace bearings. Very frustrating. Any idea what I could try?
