Maytag neptune washer mah 6500 aww Lr is displayed on estimated time sreen?

This is a problem with the signal from the water heating element "Thermistor" a Thermistor is a solid state sensor that senses temperature, in this case water temp. The Thermistor is part of the washers water heating assembly and not sold separately from it. There is a factory repair bulletin associated with the problem and the new part has improved reliability. I can't understand what the Maytag folks you called would tell you it is not listed, it is a common fault in the Neptune. Please rate my help. Thanks

Lr error code is locked rotor. Could be a couple different issues.

Google this phrase and read thru the post ""[FIXED] Maytag Neptune Top Load FAV6800AWW -- tub/motor will not spin""

Post in that forum if you want to DIY I do not offer DIY help here any more.

Hello todd.... This is a common problem with the neptune. It means that the machine needs a new motor and a new motor control board kit. If you are under warranty do a repair. If not, get an estimate before you go ahead and repair it. Joe

Thanks for choosing Fixya!

perhaps and lr??? LR--- means locked rotor assy. you will need to replace your motor control board and motor assy, comes as a kit not a bad repair (NEPTUNE REPAIR KIT) if thats indeed the issue you seeing that is

Hello there
The LR error on your non-spinning Maytag Neptune is usually, though not always, accompanied either by a burn spot or a blown fuse on the Motor Control Board.

Blown Fuse on a Maytag Neptune Washer Motor Control Board (click to enlarge) Either way, it means just one thang: a new motor and motor control board kit are in your future.

they have a balance ring on the front of the tub and it's full of water

NF - No Fill
It means that the Washer does not turn on water valves to fill washer with water.

Try the following steps and the problem should be solved.

1.Is the water turned on?

2.Check inlet hose screens for restriction.

3.Check wire connections in harness leading from machine control board to pressure switch.

4.Check water valve.

5.Check inputs and outputs at machine control board.


Good luck.And please do rate my answer.Thank you.

Im having the same problem what is the lr code and how do you get rid of it?

Check voltages at the outlet. My guess is that you are on the HVAC circuit, and the Neptune is more sensitive than your hvac equipment. Also check that the neutral is about the same potential as the ground.
