Regularly cleaning the pump drain filter helps maintain the efficiency and longevity of your Maytag Neptune front load washer.
A front-load washer is loaded through a door on the front, which makes it more efficient than a top-load machine. Maytag Neptune, a front-loading model, was introduced by Maytag in the early 2000s. However, the pump drain filter in the front-load washing machine can become clogged with debris, which requires cleaning. Here’s how you can clean the pump drain filter on your Maytag Neptune front-load washer:
Step 1
Disconnect the Maytag Neptune front-load washer from the power source.
Step 2
To remove the front panel, twist the upper right and left panel extensions inward and press on the outer upper rims of the front panel. You can use a screwdriver if you need help pressing on the metal panels. Slowly tilt the top of the panel away from the washer and unhook the clips along the lower lip of the front panel to lift it up and out of the way.
Step 3
Unplug the electrical wires attached to the pump and unlock the pump from the base of the washer.
Step 4
Check for loose items inside the pump, such as buttons, bra clips, or loose change. Remove any debris from the inside of the filter using a soft-bristled brush.
Step 5
Reattach the filter to the washer base and plug in the pump wires. The order of the wires doesn’t matter.
Step 6
Replace the front access cover.
Step 7
Restore power to the Maytag Neptune front-load washer. Run an empty load and check for proper operation.
