Maytag Neptune washer always has water in the drum after wash is done? Any ideas? I can hear lots of water left in the washer when I spin the drum manually and of course it has a moldy smell having water left over constantly. Billie

The liquid is a saline solution which is hermetically sealed in the front balance ring on the spinner. It is there to reduce vibration and acts like a gyroscope when the spinner revolves. Good sound to hear when you spin the basket. The smell can be gotten rid of by using a washing machine cleaner like tide.

Neptune washer ballasting water

No, drain it. Just remove the drain hose from the clip at the rear and low the hose into a pail or cooking tray. Gravity will do the rest. Make sure it is always kept upright unless you have the transport brackets.

My maytag neptune spins water out, the tub is empty but when you turn the tub manually you can hear water sloshing and the clothes smells moldy after washing

There will always be some residual water left in the outer tub after draining. This is normal for most washers. Purchase a container of Oxy-clean and cycle the washer a few times using hot water settings with a half-cup of Oxy-clean added to each cycle. This will help remove any organic matter left behind that might be causing odors.

When I spin the tub of my Maytag Neptune Washer, I hear water slushing. I do I manually drain the water out of the tub?

You can by pulling a hose. But most washers always have
a little water left in them.
Also, the drain hose height may be too high or you may have
a weak pump.

You can hear water behind the drum when you spin

I don't believe you have a problem with your washer. It is NORMAL to have residual water in the drain lines and drain pump following a wash cycle. You will be able to hear the water sloshing around if you move the drum or drain lines. This is the lowest point of the drain cycle and gravity will ALWAYS cause some water to be there. As long as the water is not visible in the spin basket inside the drum, and the washer is properly draining during the wash and rinse cycles, you have nothing to worry about.

If you have any questions, please post back and let me know. I hope this is helpful to you.

Water still in machine

Depending on how high your drain hose is some of the water after the final spin can drain back into the outer tube of the machine. This wont hurt anything but when not using the maching, not a bad idea to leave the door ajared to prevent the washer from giving off a bad odour,

When i spin wash tub wigth my hand i can hear lots of water still in the machine under neath the wash basin

That is becouse most washing machines are made up of an inside drum where your clothes are washed and an outside durm that catches the water when the washer spins the water out of the washed clothes. A pump is connected to the bottom of the outside drum. If the pump fails, the water would not get pumped to the drain and would collect in the outside drum.

Water remain in the machine

the washer has a fluid filled ring around the drum to balance it as it spins, assuming do not actually see or feel water you may be hearing that liquid.

Neptune stackable -water left below the drum after cycle complete

Some water yes. a lot of water no.As long as the water stays below the wash tub you should be OK.
You might want to pull your water pump off and check for a restriction.

My Mother's Maytag Neptune front load washer has water left under the drum after the final spin cycle. I am not sure that this is normal. Please advise.

This is normal to hear water sloshing under the drum when machine is done washing and you spin the drum. This is part of their water balance method to help spinning procedure. I called a Maytag repair shop and they helped with my question.
