Whirlpool top-load washer problem

Cold room temperatures that thicken the transmission oil can cause the spin-drain situation, until the tranny gets sufficiently warmed.

My 12-years-old Kenmore 90 and 9-years-old Catalyst are working properly, as is my parents' 17-years-old KitchenAid far as I'm aware.

Neutral Drain Kit

Is it possible to replace the NDK without changing the gearcase oil? I was under the impression that anytime the gearcase was cracked open, oil replacement should occur. Is that true?

I would think that as long as you don't get any sediment or anything else in the oil, it should be fine.

I agree with Dave, as long as the oil isn't either already contaminated and doesn't get that way while the case is open, it should be fine.
