How to Change a Light Bulb in a Maytag Neptune
Maytag Neptune washers and dryers have a number of user-friendly features. One of those features is a light bulb to illuminate the drum or wash tub when loading and unloading clothes. Like all incandescent bulbs, the light in the appliance burns out over time. Changing a light bulb in a Maytag Neptune requires a replacement candelabra base bulb. These bulbs resemble small cones and are available at home improvement centers. Does this Spark an idea?
