Where does the gear oil go in a washing machine?

I'm trying to fix my washing machine and the washing machine was on its side and the oil came out of the transmission- Please helpWhere does the gear oil go in a washing machine?
Did you turn the washer over to locate the leak, or did the oil leak only begin once the turn the machine over on it's side?





If you turned the washer over on it's side to locate the leak, it would be a fair guess that you may have a cracked seal at the bottom of the washers transmission. If that's the case, the seal has to be replaced. Before attempting any repairs I suggest you call the manufacturer of the machine and ask if you can obtain a schematic (blue print) of the washer. Some companies post schematics drawings of their products on their home website. This way you not working blind to find the troubled stop. If you feel the problem is over your head, a repairman can come out and you'll probably be looking at $200 for repairs.Where does the gear oil go in a washing machine?
I hate to be the one to inform you, but by turning the washer on its side the oil did come out of the transmission on the bottom of the drum. The reason it came out is because the upper seal is shot. I doubt very much that it will last another year, it's on its last leg. Start saving now for a new machine and don't throw any more money into this one.
if you had very much oil leak out you might need a new gasket for the transmission. if it was just a little it should be ok. if you don,t see a drain plug or fill plug you might need to get a repair shop to check it out.
There is no gear oil in a washer, what is exactly wrong with the washer anyways?
Are you sure.Most washing machines dont have oil in them,and no washing machine I've ever had had transmission.
