Anyone have any ideas on how/if this can be used for something useful w/o a lot of work?
The drive board in our 3 yr old Neptune killed itself in a big way. Blew a hole in the main chip(I'm guessing it used to be some sort of microcontroller, can't read the numbers on it anymore) and smoked a few drive transistors. W/O the controller board I am not sure how to drive this motor.
Maytag gave me the replacement board(and motor) under warranty. No questions asked. It looks like they have made some updates. There is a AC line filter added, some other tweaks to the drive circuitry, and a MUCH better enclosure to protect the board.
