Drained excess water from the drum and pump by attaching it to an extra vacuum hose extended out the back door and down the porch for extra gravity pull. Fits snug so the washer hose can be leveled to the floor. No pump filter to clean. Removed drain boot from bottom of drum and from pump. Twisted pump clockwise to remove it. Removed the pumps electrical connections. Removed the plastic protection from loop holders. Removed the 3 screws attaching the transformer to the pump. Used a bottle brush and dawn to wash the filthy smelly boot, pump, and drain hose. Had to slosh dish water inside the hose many times before it cleaned out good. Removed front door by removing the hinges from the washer and the 4 screws on the other side. Pulled the front panel off by pulling out the top and pulling up to release the bottom.. removed the small plastic drain hose and cleaned the gunk out. Clothes still dirty. Remove rear baffles from inside drum. Nasty! Not sure how to remove front baffles. I used a steam cleaner to clean the gunk out of the washer and inside the baffles. I bought this in 2003 or 2004. I have a terrible mold problem in the boot. I just wipe it after every wash and leave the door open. I also use a paper clip to hold the switch for the light in. Clothes are clean and they smell fresh.
What is the Maytag Neptune Front Load Washer MAH55FLBWW tub capacity?
The manufacturers began using cubic feet capacity numbers only recently. Previously, they used relative terms such as "Large" or "Extra Capacity" or laundry weight (e.g. "16 lbs per load") which did not take into account different fabric weight and volume. Others referred to capacity in terms of water used. Even washers available today do not have capacity written in the manual because the same manual can be used across multiple models. Once the washer is no longer sold, the sales literature is discarded and capacity information often lost.
Analyzing washers and their components, searching through old technical information and sales literature, and determining their capacity is a labor intensive and time-consuming task and we are far from finished. A small charge will help us continue our research.
Consider this: if you were to spend more than few minutes looking for tub capacity on the internet, you would be earning LESS than minimum wage.
This is a geometric method to calculate tub capacity based on the cylinder volume formula. Unfortunately, the value could be as much as 25% off from the manufacturer stated capacity.
Why? Because a tub is not exactly a cylinder. The edge where bottom connected to the wall is not at 90 degree angle but smooth and rounded. The water line is not clearly marked and the bottom is not always flat. Finally, an agitator also takes capacity away from the tub.
This method can be used as a crude estimate but we do not recommend using it for comparisson when shopping for a new washer.
Determine your front load washer tub capacity by taking two simple measurements:
1. Use the ruler to measure the depth of the tub (indicated by the red line on the diagram)
2. Now find the distance accross the tub, the diameter (the green line on the diagram). Note that some tubs are narrow at the opening. In this case make the measurements INSIDE the tub.
Tub Depth: in. Tub Diameter: in. Calculate Tub Capacity
The Maytag Neptune Front Load Washer MAH55FLBWW tub capacity is . cubic feet.
The tub capacity calculator provides result in the DOE cubic feet which are CONVENTIONAL, i.e. normal cubic feet. The front loading appliance manufacturers prefer to use IEC cubic feet in their specification. IEC capacity in a front loader is the equivalent of the laundry size of a top loading washer and usually result in a higher number. For instance, a 4.7 cu. ft EC capacity transaltes into 4.1 conventional cu. ft for some washers and into 4.2 cu. ft for others. There is no simple multiplier that can be applied to an IEC value to translate it into DOE capacity. Make sure to use the manufacturer's part number when ordering a replacement.
