We have the same problem with our LG….about 4-5 years old. Started about a year ago….so discussed that we are thinking about getting a new washer. Right now we are using the washer cleaning tablets once a month but really should probably do it twice. You can get them at Walmart or Lowe’s….buy the big box, you’ll need them. A few times while it’s going through the cycle I pause it and get a strainer to get some of the “crap” out of the water….amazing how much floating around!!!! I think I’m going to call LG and see what they have to say…just been dragging my feet. Just does not look like an easy process of taking it apart to clean.

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.
