LG WFT851 - Flakes of dirt problem

I have a 6 year old LG WFT851 Top Load Washing Machine. Each time I wash there are a lot of dirt flakes that are left on the clothes and also in the tub. I have cleaned the filters but it still happens each wash. Does any one know what is causing this and how I can stop it from happening.

    I'm having the same problem as describe by chen1702. My model is WF-T708TC, 5 years old machine. Problem started after few months the machine was bought. The flakes like dirt are found at the bottom of the drum. It stick to the clothes located at the bottom part and I have to handwash those stained clothes since the 2nd rinse will not help at all. Please help, tks.

Try putting some milton or baby bleach into the machine with the hottest possible wash with no clothes with the highest water level

I Have the same problem. I found that the sponge seals in the drum were breaking down. I repaired this with silicone only to have the same problem again two months later. I am busy striping the drum to see what else is breaking down. [email protected]

I was given a new model LG washing machine recently, it works as it should however the original owner was a builder and whatever he was washing off his clothes has caked onto the sides of the outer drum.

I have pulled the top off the washer and can see that the outer drum is literally covered with a fulll layer of this thick, black muddy greasy clay like substance. I need to pull the inner drum out in order to be able to get the outer drum but haven't managed to figure it out as of yet.

I've tried dissolving portions of the gunk with detergent, acetone, cleaning vinegar, methylated spirits, paint thinner, auto degreaser and mineral turpentine, of all these agents turps is the only one that seems to have an effect however it's ability to dissolve the stuff is minimal.

My LG WF-T708TC works fine except that the water flow is very little despite the good water pressure from the main tap. The water does not seem to flow from the top of the detergent box but from the back side and under the detergent box. Please help.

Waht causes black flakes on clothes when washing?
Hi, it sounds like you have to buy one of the inside washing machine cleaners its a liquid that you put in the washer and let it run its cycle to flush clean the interior of the unit.

Hi. I have a Kenmore Elite top-loading washer and in every wash load there are flakes of brown stuff, not rust but more like leaves. There does not seem to be anything wrong with the outflow. Thanks!
Run a few washes of rags or towels with plenty of BLEACH & VINEGAR (two quarts of white) a couple of times to remove most bacterial debris from your machine. There is no part of the machine that "creates" brown flakes, so it is either in the water inflow (check the water) and the way to see what is coming into the machine is to do a "load" without any clothes! Just have the tub fill and look at what fills.....Sounds like something under the tubs upper lip that's coming-off and into your tub during the wash and agitation cycles.

My lg Washing Machine WF-T853A is putting black rubbery chunks and flakes through every wash.. This has been happening for about 12 mths and is getting worse to the point where half the lint bags are full...
sorry to ask you this but are you sure the flakes are rubber? usually the black flakes are lint from the clothes. to help combat this problem try this.1- buy 2 pkts of bicarb of soda or baking soda, 2- select high water fill. 3- select hot water fill.4- pour soda into an empty machine. 5- shut the lid and push the start button. 6- let it fill and wash, let it wash for about 5 to 10 min"s , do not let the water drain.7- turn machine off after letting it wash for 5 to 10 min"s , and leave the water sit in the bowl overnight . 8- in the morning start cycle again and let it go thru complete cycle. this should get rid of most of the lint. you might have to do this twice depending on how dirty the plastic tank is. please reply 4 more help and good luck.

Whirlpool washing machine
It sounds like the porcelein on the inner or outer tub is damaged allowing rust to form.
Another possibility is that there are iron deposits in the internal hoses that are loosening.
I would (assuming you can afford the water wastage) run the machine on 'full load' and 'hot' several times with no clothes in it to see if it will flush out.

Flakes of dirt on washing
Is this perhaps a second hand machine or it has possibily been stored away for some time? When a washer dries out inside ( behind the washer bowl ) and is then put back in service, dirt from years of use caked on insides flakes away ( like a dry leaf crumbles) and re-enters the wash and can end up on washed clothing. The only way to stop this is complete removal of washer bowl , scrub and clean insides to remove caked on dirt - reassembly. problem fixed !
