I just bought a Coronado wringer washer, model WA22-7657A. I am trying to figure out how to add and check the oil, but can't find out how. I've removed the wringer, looked and poked into that area, but can't add oil there (at least in the center.) Looking underneath, I can't see anything that looks like I could add oil. I hope someone can solve this mystery for me - I really want to use this machine! Thank You!

Most wringer washers don't require you to add transmission oil unless things are leaking and you hear really loud transmission noises. You can add a bit of grease to where the wringer rollers are at the sides where they turn.
If you could give us some pictures, especially from the front of the controls, the inside of the tub and adgitator and the block that it fits over, the wringer etc. that would be a big help. Does it have a pump and does it work? Let us know and we can help. Does your machine skirt go all the way to the floor? All that we could know, the better. Thanks, Gary

I'll try to add pictures later today. I was concerned about it maybe needing oil because the agitator squeaks as it turns. Would I use wheel bearing grease on the sides of the rollers? The skirt doesn't go to the floor. I'm not sure if the pump works - I took the bottom off yesterday, and the impeller and hose are caked with old dried detergent, and the tub to pump hose has been disconnected with the drain hose connected directly to the tub for a gravity drain (I think). So, I am going to clean all that up, put the hoses back the correct way, and put some water in the tub to check it out. I also have a parts list for a washer that is (I think) a slightly older model than mine, but appears to be mechanically about the same. So, I'll post some pictures and maybe try to scan in a page or two of the parts breakdown. (sure wish I had a manual!) Thank You!
Most older machines will have some caked on old soap residue and hard water deposits. Try CLR and a toothbrush and see what happens. You can work on the pump too with CLR. You could try some light machine oil and squirt some on the bottom of the section of the adgitator post thats turns the adgitator, right in there. Have fun, Gary
Comes to the Rescue!
