How do I oil a top load washer transmission?

If you're finding grease under the washplate of your Whirlpool top load washer, it's likely that the transmission is leaking. The transmission is responsible for turning the drum during the wash cycle, and if it is leaking, it can cause grease to build up under the washplate. Here are a few steps you can take:

1. Check the transmission oil level: The first step is to check the oil level in the transmission. If the oil level is low, it could indicate a leak.
2. Check for leaks: Look for any visible leaks coming from the transmission. If there are leaks, it's best to take it to a qualified repair technician.
3. Clean the washplate and drum: Clean the washplate and drum with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Be sure to remove any debris or buildup that may have accumulated.
4. Check the transmission oil seal: the oil seal may be the cause of the leak, if it's damaged or worn out, it will need to be replaced by a professional technician.

It's important to keep in mind that the transmission is a complex component, and if you're not comfortable working with it, it's best to consult a professional technician for further diagnosis and repair.
It's also important to note that some of these steps require a certain level of mechanical knowledge and experience. If you're not comfortable with checking these items, it's best to consult a professional repair technician if i was able to help my cashapp $ralphpapi thank you have a blessing day

Need to check the oil level on your transmission. Maybe there is no oil because the oil seal is broken. You may have to have your transmission replaced if it has been running for sometime like that.

GE washers are notorious for transmission leaks. Personally, I wouldn't spend much time or effort on a major repair of a 14 year old washer. Suggest you contact a local parts house and see if the upper seal is available as a kit. Other sites suggest that this transmission is no longer available new, and even then it's a $250 part. If you ruin one load of clothes with transmission oil, you're probably halfway to the price of a new one.

The transmission seal has gone bad. That typically happens when the bearing wears and becomes "sloppy", putting pressure on the seal. If you're getting oil OUT of the transmission, you could be getting water IN, which is pushing the oil out or the oil could be coming out just because of heat. Either way, you'll need a transmission.

your transmissions lower oil seal is leaking and needs to be replaced,if the top seal goes,you will start to see oil droplets on your clothes when washed and this is called "wash-back"

Your transmission is leaking oil. It's probably 10 to 15 years old for the transmission to be leaking. It can be replaced but it's not a small job. Part 320 in this diagram is your transmission. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/model.aspx?model_id=5224109&diagram_id=22255027#d22255027

First, see the Sears parts site for your washer.

You'll see part numbers and prices for oil.

When we had to tear out transmission apart (3 times) we did some research and found that basic 80-90 weight non-detergent gear oil (available much cheaper than Sears oil at most auto parts stores) works for these transmissions.

This assumes that you have a basic Kenmore / Whirlpool top load, direct drive, neutral drain (it doesn't spin until the pump removes most of the water) machine.

First, see the Sears parts site for your washer:

Enter your model number (###.#######) and you'll see a list of major sub-components with diagrams and parts.

It's quite possible that the cover plate on the transmission is leaking.

Pulling the transmission and taking the cover off is a bit of a messy jobv but not too difficult. It holds about 15 oz. of 80-90 weight gear oil.

See the following for how to pull the transmission.

You don't have to remove the tub to pull the transmission.

Pull the transmission, remove the clutch (there is a spring clip that holds the clutch on the main agitator shaft), remove the 8 screws carefully the transmission holds 14 - 15Oz of oil

If the top of the case is leaking, you might try a gasket / sealer available at most auto repair / parts shops.

While you have the top off of the transmission, you might also want to check the condition of the plastic parts in the transmission itself.

Following is the Whirlpool / Kenmore PDf on how the transmission works and the parts inside it.
