Hello All,
I had to move a 4 year old Kenmore direct drive agitator model today. I had no choice but to lay it on its side.
At the new destination I noticed a small amount of greenish oil on the cabinet inside under the transmission/pump area. Maybe a teaspoon full or 2 had leaked out. Am I in trouble here?? Also as we set the machine upright the entire drum was out of position, We lifted the drums up and they seemed to reseat it self. The drum does not seem to want to turn by hand. Is that normal? We have not connected it up yet and tested it. Thanks for your help!
 
 
Bit of oil leaking is not unusual.  Not a problem unless it continues when upright.

If there's a gross degree of vibration / oscillation during spin then the skate plate between the base pedestal and tub support may have shifted off kilter and need to be set back properly.

The basket brake is quite strong, not unusual the basket is very difficult to turn by hand when it's engaged.
