Hello everyone, My Neptune MAH3000, coming up on 15 years, is getting louder during the spin cycle. I think the bearings are going bad. Six years ago I did the wax motor repair myself, so I am a little handy. The instructions I found for doing the bearing replacement seems doable, if somewhat a long process. My question is, considering the age of my Neptune, should I not bother, as more and more things will break, or is the repair worth the effort? Thank you! Tai

If you got 15 years of use out of this terrible trouble plagued model you have won the washing machine jackpot. Celebrate by congratulating yourself with a new machine.
