how often does the oil in the transmission need to be changed?
It really varies. A good indicator that it needs to be changed is when the agitation is a little slow to start on the first wash and surrounding temps are above 70F. I've seen really hard ridden 12 series machines become sluggish at the 20 year mark, and then there's RCD's 1959 142 washer that still has a real strong agitation from the get go. Hope that answers your question. |

MTs sudsaver system worked well so there is no reason not to try to fix it, you could even go for Energy-Star certification after you do. Eric on MTs sudsavers you can only return the suds at one point on the dial. MTs advantage is that you can turn off the two way valve and let all the water go out the rinse drain hose via the pushbuttons on the control panel.
