How do I Troubleshoot a Coin-Op Maytag Neptune?
Maytag Neptune coin-operated washers are used in commercial environments. The washer programs are often not quite as elaborate as domestic washers and usually only have a couple of cycle choices. The washers have coin boxes attached. Coin-op washers should be manufactured with stronger parts for greater use. The commercial washers don't take more washing per load than other super capacity washers, the commercial moniker simply means they can be used more often without breaking.

Level the washer to avoid excessive noise and vibration. Check the front leveling feet are in place. Screw the locknuts until the washer no longer rocks. Excessive noise can also be caused by the shipping strap still being in place---remove it. It's yellow and can't be cut, just pull it firmly and take out the cotter pins.

Tighten the inlet hoses if you start to see leaking. The inlet hoses must be replaced every five years to avoid the possibility of hose failure.

Check the drain hose is attached to the drain. Many commercial washers need to be able to drain 17 gallons of water a minute.

Start the machines in two minute intervals if you have a number of coin-op Maytag Neptune coin-op washers at the same location. Starting a bunch of the machines all at the same time can cause strain on the plumbing system---even a commercial grade system---and cause leaking.

Record all the key numbers for the coin box. You will have to drill out the lock to remove the coin box if you can't order a new key. The manufacturer of the coin box will ask you to supply the key number to get a replacement key.
