If you have one of these Maytag Neptune washers you have my sympathy



This quarter cost $330
it is the perfect size to lodge in the drain pump and either destroy it or plug it



One month later after both may wife and I were checking pockets another slipped through

This time they covered the call back and only charged $70

Maytag said I could buy a service plan every year for $360 that would include unlimited calls
I was temped to buy it and launder large numbers of quarters just for fun ...

So I made a filter

the Model Mark II Maytag Neptune quarter filter
About $35 in fittings



Here are the components




It fits right here






Some creative plumbing re-routing



If this doesn't work I understand steel recycling is almost 10 cents a pound
