Whirlpool Gearcase Oil 350572 OEM Part

This 16-ounce Transmission Oil is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement component, specifically crafted for Whirlpool direct drive top load washers. It is compatible with a variety of brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral, as well as select Sears-Kenmore and Ikea models.

The oil functions to lubricate the transmission’s internal gears and bearings, facilitating smooth operation and minimizing wear. Proper lubrication is essential for seamless gear function, which extends the longevity of the components. This oil maintains its viscosity under intense cycles and high-speed rotations.

Several factors can necessitate the replacement of the oil, such as the natural decline of its lubricating efficiency, contamination from water or debris, or the emergence of leaks due to structural issues with seals or cracks.

Signs that a washer might need new transmission oil include:
- Grinding or knocking noises from the transmission
- Slow gear changes
- Preliminary wear on internal parts upon inspection of the case

This oil is suitable for numerous models under brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore, providing extensive applicability across various appliances.
