Transmission noise I have a GE wwA8995S washer. Transmission is noisy and I found oil leaking. Thank you for your solution

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

Did you have an oil leak at the bottom of the washer? If yes, chances are your transmission oil leaked and your transmission needs changing or repairing.

the most likely cause if the oil looks like motor oil that you put in your car but only thicker,is that it is leaking from the transmission which is very common in ge washers the oil is in the transmission to lube the gears which make the machine agitate
to be sure you could remove the front panel and would see alot of oil in the base frame
to remove the panel place a screwdriver between the panel and top and feel around and find 2 clips (one on each side) press on those clips while pulling the panel out

Hello there:

The first thing to check when your GE washer is not agitating, is the belt. Let me tell you how to check the belt & the clutch with out having to take the washer apart.

The belt: Set the timer in the spin cycle and pull the timer knob to turn the washer on.
If the washer drains the water and then spins the way that it should, this tells you that the motor, belt & clutch are not the reason why your washer won't agitate.
A broken belt could be the reason your washer is not agitating or spinning.

The agitator: After making sure that the belt, motor & clutch are working ok, lets check the agitator.
The agitator uses a plastic agitator coupler that is couple to the transmission shaft by using splines cut in the coupler and on the transmission shaft.
Too much usage or overloading the washer too many times will wear the agitator coupler splines. With out the splines the coupler could not be coupled to the transmission shaft and that could be the cause why your washer is not agitating.

The clutch: A bad clutch could also be the reason the washer won't agitate or spin. Usually when the clutch is bad the washer will be noisy, like when you have bad brakes on your car.

The transmission: The transmission could be the reason your washer is not agitating. A common problem with the transmission is oil leaking right on top of the motor pulley and the belt.
As you can see, there could be different reasons why your GE washer is not agitating. You just need to keep checking each part until you find the problem and replace the part responsible.

The only place oil can come from is the transmission. If you do not have a big leak, it may run a long time (read: maybe a year or more) before low oil level in the transmission causes major appliance damage, but it's time to start looking for a new washer. Many washers these days do not even use an oil filled transmission. Current GE machines do not, and the Whirlpool models comming soon don't either. If you can afford it, the front loading LG washers (which are direct drive, thus no transmission or clutch, and have a 10 year motor warranty) are the best, in my opinion.

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

The plastic cap goes underneath the washer on the end of the transmission shaft below the belt pulley.
You may have a transmission oil leak causing the noise.
This machine is worth repairing.
It is a better machine than any brand made today.

All washer machines have a "transmission" - just like a car these units have oil in them and when the seals that protect the oil from going to our clothes is breake, oil finds its way to your clothes.
Transmission needs to be replaced.

it sounds like a bad bearing... the tub is leaking it may leak into the bearing and cause your transmission to lose oil and water ...

Hey ****, what you are hearing is the spin bearing. Maytag redesigned the bearing kit on this washer, there must of been a lot of leaks causing the bearing to go bad. They put out a service flash...TDL-0060-B. New seal and bearing kit, part number12002470. You may want to contact Maytag on this for it could be covered. I know you have 5 years warranty on the transmission and If they change that, they have to use a new seal and bearing. Catriver...post back.
