However, when I went online, it appeared that it was not a leaf but that it was something called scrud. According to the internet, scrud is a buildup that occurs when fabric softener mixes with laundry detergent. However, my wife doesn't use fabric softner.
Is anyone familiar with this and, if so, how to get rid of it?
And has anyone ever used a clean cycle on a washing machine? I have never heard of it until today. I don't think my parents had it on their machine and we never had it on the machine up north.
Thanks.

You can try use clean cycle with chemicals being it only 4 years old, but it could be plugged beyond what chemicals can do? unless to take the outer tank out and clean screen holes and remove water pump and de-coat slim/sludge? I found this out when my washer would not pump water out the pump was clogged with sludge. I got it to pump or pump water again, but knew it was on its last leg.
Most likely cause using too much soap or any other chemical added with soap? My washer was 10 years old and I couldn’t get outer tub out due to corrosion. So brought new POC, that take hour just do simple wash, I figure if I get 4 years out of it I’m lucky.
