If your statement is referring to having grease
being left on clothing during washing; It could be the grease seal located on the shaft that drives the "agitator" which is the paddle arrangement in the machine tub.
You can check this by removing the screw or bolt that holds the "agitator" in place.
You do this with the machine filled with water with no soap and no apparel [clothing sheet towels] in the tub at this time.
With the machine filled with water; turn it on and allow it to "agiate" for about a half minute.
That should cause the agitator to free it'self from the shaft.
Turn the machine offf then lift the agiator from the tub, then place the control in the drain/spin position to remove the waer.
After the water is pumped from the machine you can inspect the bottom of the tub for lubricant.
If it is present there are a couple of options, first if it is a fairly new machine and or if you have a manitanance agreement then call them for repairs if it is an old machine without a repair agreement then you might want to consider replacement.
As a severe warning do not place any body parts in the machine while it is operating!
If the lubricant is under the machine possibly you recently had it repaired or lubricated with an exceessive amount applied also again !if it is an older or well used machine particulary it consistently being overloaded , that could cause tranmission seal failure

The washing is coming out with dirty lines along the creases made in the spinning. I have taken the agitator out to clean the machine but this has not solved the problem.

either something entered the wash on some dirty clothes or grease coming past the seal try a hot wash with plenty of suds and no clothes, a small wash level should do it

What causes our front loading washer to make exceeding loud noise when it enters a spin?

Sounds like a bearing seal is going. The seal has ruptured and grease of seeping out. The loud noise is the bearings rubbing against each other without adequate grease to reduce the friction. Failure will come soon if it is not fixed. The vibration is coming from the friction and possibly damaged ball bearings .

PYE Washing Machine AWM800 won't wash/spin. The drum seems very loose. Could it be the springs and the belt slipping?

Have you noticed any discolouring or grease on clothes coming out of the wash prior to noticing this problem? Has your washer been particularly noisy during spin cycles before not running at all?

The outer casing on most washers can easily be removed to get a better look. If you notice grease or oil after removing the cover, a good possibility is that the bearing has broken. I have personally experienced this, it ended up being more beneficial to purchase a new washing machine in my situation.

It will do no harm in doing some further investigating in this situation, just unplug the washer before taking the cover off.

There is grease coming from uner the washing machine and it makes a loud noise when it is spinning? Sometimes the washing machine will get hung up on the spin cycle?

Oil usually from the leaking transmission. a clutch not engaging might make a noise but u will get no real spin and clothes remain wet? if it was bad motor coupler if u have direct drive u would also have no spin or wash cycle. I suspect a bearing prob withing the tranny SORRYYYYYYYY :(

Grease /oil spots on clothes coming from washer

Hello,
This sounds like the drum bearings are starting to wear and allowing grease to infiltrate through the inner seal.Does it sound noisy on the spin cycle.

Grease gets on clothes from inside washer - not always but often enough to ruin several items. Also, once in a while it makes a "not normal" louder sound when spinning. We inherited this washer/dryer combo...

hello. generally this mystery grease comes from an article of clothing placed in the machine, not the machine itself. Problem is once that grease gets in the machine it can stick to the tub and contaminate other clothes in later wash loads. Look for the grease and wipe it away with a product like 409 degreaser. Regards, Joe

LG Washer makes LOUD noise when spinning

The main seal is leaking on the drum bearing hence the splatter of soap softened grease The water from the drum is coming through the seal and into the bearing and this is washing the bearing clean of grease. No option than to get it replaced with a new drum bearing kit , Sorry !!

Washing machine stains clothes

You can pull the agitator straight up and off to check if there is any grease / oil on the bottom of it. You may have to use a belt or similar item to slip under the agitator and attach the other end to a broom handle to pull up if it is difficult to remove. If there is grease / oil, it is not very easy or inexpensive to repair. The average life of a washer is about 9 years, so this one doesn't owe you anything. I'd look into a new front load unit which uses much less water and spins clothes out at 2X or more the RPM's of your current machine. Please don't rate this solution as anything but a FixYa rating will lower my overall score. Thanks.
