HI Friend, First of all relax alright, you are in safe hands. See every washing machine has a turbine at the bottom f the washing bowl and below that there is a motor. And there wud be a safety valve or (washer ) which basically looks like a ring made out rubber or plastic and when this ring gets outdated or torn it stops controlling the oil flow and thats the reason y ur clothes have the oil stains ,so once it is replaced you will not have this issue. This would surely help you in getting the clothes clean and tidy.!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And please rate me so that I can improve myself(vote). Prasanth83:):):)
I had this same problem and thought it was my old washing machine's fault. So, I got a new shiny front loader. SAME PROBLEM! I don't use softener. I have not left something in the pocket. I don't drip oil on my clothes. It does not happen to everything - just usual suspects - dark cotton clothes. So frustrating.

Stains are one of those things that no two problems are every the same cause. Generally, if it an oily stain then you take a look at something like the transmission. If it is a rubber type of stain the the rubber washer sealing the shaft. Or if it is rusty colored then metal metal somewhere in the wash tub that is rusting.
Sorry, wish there was somehow to tell you where exactly to look, but there just isn't.
This could be a couple of things
1....oil from the transmission.
this is not common so lets leave this one
2.....the use of fabric softener causes greasy marks on clothing after a while
Fabric softener reacts with soap and can form a greasy jell. it can be yellow oily color or black.
You will know if you have been using fabric softener.
Stop using it straight away.
To clean oty the machine if it were mine I would put a packet of epson salts in with hot water and let the comp[lete cycly go.
Foe awhile use the machine with caution as this may release build up of grease which can stain further clothing until it is all gone.
The make and model of the washer is needed for an accurate diagnosis.
Around the white plastic rim right above the steel tub, link gets caught. I have only been able to remove it with my fingers every week or so and this seems to stop the "spotting/striping" of stains on my cloths. I would also like to know the RIGHT answer to this one. Thanks
Grease will not come from the interior of the washer, as the machine ages build up deposits under the basket and it is oily, greasy and full of mildew. If can get a spanner wrench from a appliance parts house and remove the basket you will see on machines older than three years a build up starting. I pulled 15 lbs from a 25 year old machine and I had to go get sick outside, it was bad.
I under stand you have this problem! I have a kelvinator K605 washing machine that has suddenly halved it's wash time! I can't find my user manual.
At the bottom of this page is a web site for Kelvinator manuals from fixya.com. But I have some most important advice for you to read first!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This machine is very and an energy gussler! My advice is not to put your good money into bad! It's not worth spending a dime to repair! The new machines cost so much less to operate and will pay for them selves in only a few years! And the new machines will not wear out you clothes so fast! Top load machines used to use 54 gallons a load. Todays top load Speed Queen washer uses only 34 gallons! cost only 549 and out lasts every machine on the market. It's tested at 8 loads a week for 25 years. has a 3 year warranty compared to the 1 year of all the rest and a TEN YEAR TRANSMISSION WARRANTY, compared to ONE YEAR of all the rest! Today you can get 10 to 15 years depending how much you spend on the washer!
The washers and dryers today use so much less water,electricity,and detergent that they pay for them selves after a only a few years. My advise is, do not put good money into a washer that is over 10 years old! It is less expensive to buy, run, and operate a new efficient machine! You will see you water and electric bill reduced!!!!!!!!! Speed Queen commercial grade top loader uses only 34 gallon of water compared to the others at 54 gallons! Their front load washer uses, (GET THIS) ONLY 13.9 GALLONS of water and washes in 35 minutes and the clothes are cleaner and last longer cause it uses water agitation instead of a vain to wear out your clothes! How about spinning at 1000 RPM and the clothes come out so dry they are only in the dryer half the time than all the other machines! Thus half the gas or electric bill!! All my employees have replaced their laundry pairs with Speed Queen! My Guys call it the, "No Brainer Machine!"
I hope you can utilize the good advice I so enjoy sharing with all the good people we talk to!
I've gone through this too. Dishwashing liquid soap, specifically with grease cutting properties. It does take a few cycles to clean it all out though.
fabric softener will leave oily looking stains on certain fabric. oil stains will not wash out.i do not recommend using softener in washers it gums up everything!
