:confused: Folks I replaced the timer on my maytag Neptune but no luck. The washer works fine except you need to manually advance the timer to the next cycle. What now a new control board?
Any advice on what to do next is appreciated..

Thanks for the Help!!! I disassembled and checked the Control board for burning of R11. It is not burnt. I checked the door wax motor also, I have the up graded, black shaft motor.
So I'm looking for other possibilities for my problem other than the expensive control board, any more suggestions before I plunk down the $200+ non-refundable $$ for a new board?
Thanks

I would try replacing the Q3 triac before replacing the board. The STAGE 2 kit has 3 triacs in it. You can order the STAGE 2 kit at Neptune Help. It is possible the Q3 just 'opened' up and cannot drive the timer anymore. Originally Posted by: Gregg Vance  Thanks for the Help!!! I disassembled and checked the Control board for burning of R11.

Well I received my repair kit today, replaced the Q3 Triad and waa-la, the timer and machine works normally!!!:)
You saved me about $200, thanks for the help. (By the way the kit came with 5 triads so I have spares if needed later.
Thanks

Thanks Hi Gregg, In the STAGE 2 kit, there are (3) triacs, (2) transistors that drive the triacs. I include them all so you have a better chance of success as sometimes when the triacs fail they can damage the drivers, too. Please inform everyone that you know that has a Neptune front loader with a timer knob (non digital) to replace the door latch wax motor before it fails. Keep me in mind when your bearings start to get loud. Your Neptune will start to sound like a jet taking off when it ramps up to high speed spin. See Neptune Bearing for more info. Jeff
