The grease can be easily replenished. What type of grease is in there?

that is the wrong grease for this type of application, light duty gears such as those in appliances and such should have a lighter grease used in them like the white lithium grease. All to need is a little bit on the gears and it is all good, what was showing on the gears in the first picture is more than enough. All that extra grease you put in is just going to sit their and not even contact the gears over time and turn into a hard ball..
