Scrud is a waxy, slimy buildup of undissolved detergent, fabric softener, lint, soap scum, and body soils that accumulates inside washing machines, especially high-efficiency (HE) models, regardless of brand or manufacturer, including the ENERGY STAR Certified LG 5.5 cu. Ft. Mega Capacity Smart Top Load Washer with Impeller, EasyUnload™ & AI Sensing, Model # WT8400CW, leading to foul odors, mold, and black/brown flakes on clothes. It forms from using too much detergent or fabric softener, washing mainly in cold water, and insufficient machine cleaning, creating a breeding ground for bacteria and grime that dislodges onto laundry. Washing in cold water leads to soap residue buildup in the machine because it doesn't break down the detergent as well as hot water does. LG recommends dissolving two to three dishwasher tablets in a bucket of hot water, pouring that in the machine, and running the longest, hottest cycle, or using two 75g cans worth of citric acid, in the machine and running the longest, hottest cycle to tackle soap scrud. The owner's manual for the washer warns against using cold water all the time, and advises doing at least a warm water cycle every five washes or so to prevent the problem, and periodically cleaning your machine regularly, using hot water...^Ivan.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'm not sure what scud is but the fact that I've found absolutely no issues with my machine, I would presume the answer is No.
