I have a Whirlpool GSQ9300EQ0 washing machine. When I replaced a faulty
motor coupler, I found a small amount of gearcase oil leaking onto the
floor. I did some research and found these diagrams.

In the gearcase parts blowup, the oil seal reference number is 21. That
represents part # 3043580. Is that a Whirlpool part number?

Another website shows it as # 334494.

which seems to be an update to part # 285352.

I would like to know which part number(s) is correct and if the oil seal is
two pieces that fit together or one individual piece as shown here.

have not yet disassembled the machine again since installing the motor
coupler as it still operates ok.

Thanks for your reply.

the bushing or bearing the oil seal is on may be bad. the shaft moves around too much and leaks.

probably easier to add oil occasionally and shop for a new machine.

how old is your existing machine?
