Hi Michael, well that is very odd, there is no substantial amount of oil in that dishwasher. There should be a small amount in the motor bearing felt, but not enough to leak. First, are you sure that the oil came from the dishwasher? Could it have been on the floor before you rolled the dw in front of the sink? Also could it have been some dirty water that looked like oil? The dishwasher could have sprung a water leak. Second, if so can you look underneath and determine where it is coming from? | ||

Oil ???? Shouldn't be any oil. If I remember correctly, the motor has sealed bearings that cannot be tampered with. | ||

Has the oil leak been solved? Did you ever find out what the oil leak was ? Would love to see a few pic's of a full loaded dishwasher. I used to be a pro at loading these machines. Michael | ||

mayhap a capacitor
We had a GE dishwasher from 1963 which used a pretty big capacitor (the power in the mountains in Colorado in those days was sometimes kinda iffy). It leaked some stuff like oil once...puzzled my dad quite a bit, till it went up in smoke. Since nothing else in the machine could have that amount of oil (that I can think of), perhaps that could be the problem Was a common solution for rural electric systems way back when, still used a lot in Europe. Course, I'd expect Robert to remember such a thing.
