Default oil spots on clothes
Model Number: 23012101   Brand: Kenmore   Age: 1 - 5 years   
Sporatic spotting on clothes that does not wash out. I can only assume that the spots are oil. I have checked the tub and found no residue. No dark stains inside washer however mutiple spots appear on clothing from time to time, not consistent. Any ideas??????

ADMOC by any chance are you using liquid fabric softener, if so try not using it for a while and see what happens. if this washer is the older GE washer then it could be the transmission..

We do use liquid fabric softner in our Kenmore. We will try not using it for a few weeks and see if that corrects the problem. Thank you for your reply.

Pull agitator out and check for oil on the spindle. Some slight oil is normal, but if a lot, you will need a new spindle seal, will have to pull tranny to replace and clean agitator inside.
If your ist 3 numbers of model # are 110, these comments apply, if not please post these numbers.
