Maytag Washer Lubricant

The Gear Case Oil is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It lubricates the gears and components within the washing machine’s transmission, ensuring smooth and efficient operation during the wash and spin cycles.

Causes of bad gear case oil can include degradation over time, contamination from water or debris, and leaks due to worn seals or gaskets.

Symptoms of a bad gear case oil include:

• Loud or unusual noises during the wash or spin cycles
• The washing machine not agitating or spinning properly
• Oil leaks visible under the washing machine
• Increased friction or overheating of the transmission components

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Center Seal Grease is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This specialized grease is used to lubricate the center seal within the washer’s transmission system, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. Proper lubrication of the center seal helps maintain the integrity of the seal, preventing leaks and reducing friction between moving parts. The great is in a 4-ounce tube

Replace the center seal grease if it becomes contaminated or depleted, which can happen over time due to normal wear and tear, exposure to water, or the breakdown of the grease's consistency.

Symptoms of insufficient or contaminated center seal grease include:

• Leaking water from the center of the washer
• Increased noise during operation
• Overheating of the transmission area
• Reduced efficiency in the washer's performance

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This silicone lubricant is used during appliance service to condition rubber seals and O-rings, especially in dishwashers. It eases installation and helps new seals seat properly for a reliable, leak-resistant connection on pumps, valves, and hose fittings.

• Lubricates rubber seals, O-rings, and gaskets to prevent rolling, tearing, or binding during assembly
• Helps seals seat correctly to support leak-resistant joints
• Aids insertion of hoses, plastic fittings, and pump components
• Helpful when reassembling sump, diverter, inlet, and drain connections
• Common signs it may be needed: difficulty installing seals, seals that dislodge, or seepage after a seal replacement

• Disconnect power and water before servicing the appliance
• Clean and inspect mating surfaces; replace any cracked, flattened, or cut seals
• Apply a light, even film to the rubber part only; avoid over-application
• Wipe away excess; do not use lubricant to compensate for damaged seals—replace them

This small tube of Molykote lubricant helps reduce friction on moving appliance parts for smoother operation and quieter performance. Use it where the manufacturer specifies a silicone/grease lubricant to restore proper movement and limit wear. What it does:

• Lubricates bearings, rollers, hinges, and other sliding contacts to reduce noise and friction
• Helps parts move more smoothly and can prevent rough operation or squeaks
• Can protect metal-on-metal contact from premature wear when applied as directed
• For use only in areas the manufacturer specifies for Molykote-type lubricants

• Apply sparingly to the specified contact points; excess can attract dirt or drip onto other parts
• Wear gloves and avoid skin/eye contact; wash hands after use
• Keep out of reach of children and store in a cool, dry place
