Grease spots on clothing from a Maytag washer
Can’t find that model number something is missing there however, it’s not that likely it’s a mechanical failure of the machine that’s not one thing that Maytag are known for is leaking foil onto the clothing it’s possible but more likely it’s a buildup that has just come loose or been spread around by the washing process.
Take the agitator out and look for signs of leakage from the agitator shaft. You would also see spots on the bottom of the agitator flying outward from the shaft if it’s a machine failure. John | ||

Look for an entire donor washer with much lower mileage you’re going to need a complete transmission, an A4 08 is a 70s machine the L threw me off I guess it’s almond color, a machine that had that much use that you got 20 years ago for $100 has done its job I would look for another machine or the very least a low mileage machine take all the parts from the low mileage machine to resurrect your machine if you care about the looks of your machine or it matching the dryer.
