I have noted a few folks talking about maintaining their washing machines with oil changes and whatnot like a car otherwise they fail with lack of maintenance.

Waaat? Manual doesn’t mention maintenance. This washer is completely unlike our old washers and doesn’t even brake letting the spin cycle idle down very slowly to a stop free wheeling.

In any event different washers have different issues and my specific one doesn’t appear to have a video (only agitation squeaks like dry rubber, spin cycles normal)
This thing is -3 years old
Only bought because the drum fell apart on our other one and it was the only one in stock out of the horrifying overpriced garbage on the shelf just after the pandemic.

This was the most I ever spent for a washer and if I had more time I would have waited to get something else.

I’m honestly not sure if I just clear the wierd crap under the washer and oil or if this “assembly “ is non-repairable/non-maintainable
 
Found nothing to replace, nothing to lube.

Just cleaned it up and it hasn’t screeched since.

By how it sounds these unitized things you just run them screeching away until they fail because nothing can have maintenance or repairs done
