Most if not all of the transmission oil leaked out of my washer.
Will replacing the seal and adding oil solve my problem?
I ordered the seal. What kind of oil will I need?

Check with Maytag because I cannot get your model number to come up, so if you need more info check it and repost.
Thanks

Ok, good I should have recognized that number despite the typo. Idon't know if replacing the seal will fix your problem, it should, but an oil seal failure is pretty rare. Here is what the Maytag Service Manual says about replacing the seal. Oil Seal Replacement
The Oil Seal is located in the spline end of the drive tube.
The Oil Seal can be replaced without removing or
disassembling the Transmission.
1. Disconnect power supply to unit.
2. Tip Washer back to access bottom side and remove Drive Belt, Dust Cap, Retaining Ring, Washer, Cam, Drive Pulley, Thrust Bearing and Spacer, see “Drive Pully and Cam Removal” procedure.
3. Remove the Brake assembly to access the Oil Seal, see “Brake Disassembly” procedure.
4. Use a thin, flat bladed screwdriver to carefully pry the old Oil Seal out.
5. Place the drive washer (tool number 14242) and the
new Oil Seal over the seal protector.
6. Remove the cone-shaped end from the seal protector
tool and slide the tool, drive washer, and new Oil Seal
over the drive shaft up to the seal cavity.
7. Slide the Transmission seal driver (tool number
14242) over the drive shaft until it makes contact with
the drive washer. Use the impact sleeve of the tool to
"tap" the Oil Seal into the end of the drive tube.
This is going to require some special tools and you probably need the service manual which I cannot link to you because Maytag won't let us anymore.
The manual does not specify the type of oil, so I would call APP and see if they can help you, and if not you will have to get the info from Maytag.

There is info on YouTube the type of oil you will need to replace after removing the front panel. Edited by user Thursday, March 9, 2023 3:01:47 PM(UTC)
