Hi,
I've got this top loading whirlpool washer that I'm repairing with a agitator repair kit because the 'cogs' were worned out & the upper section of the agitator wouldn't turn.
My question is regarding the 'dual action agitator grease' that is recommended to be applied to the top of the plastic thrust washer.
What type of a grease is this? ..a silicone based, Lithium or some other type? This would be in contact with plastic parts & from what I understand petroleum based greases usually aren't the choice since they tend to break down plastics over time.
This grease isn't suppied with the kit but reference is made to it (part # 350849). My parts supply place locally doesn't stock this & it doesn't seem to be available w/o ordering it from whirlpool ( 7-10 days). I'd like to know what it is & just sub with a similar kind instead of having to wait so long.
Whirlpool was of no help regarding it's make up. Though I could only contact customer & was told they have no technical support.
...the old thrust washer still had a clear, thin coating on it yet but not enough to be of use.
Does any one know what type of grease this is? Thanks much

I spoke with a Whirlpool repair person who told mw that 99% of the time they don't use any lubricant when changing the agitator dogs. In the rare case they do, they use silcone graese.

I am changing out my dogs and there is an abundance of very thick black wax like grease on top of my agitator. Should I just leave it or clean it or change it out? I have a Whirlpool LSQ9010LW0 top load washer.
