Ok was feeling super MMM and proud of myself for getting a free second hand machine after ours died. It seemed to be in really great shape, newer whirlpool machine. Worked awesomely for the first week.
today I washed a load and a whole bunch of mud like stuff and hair was all over the clothes.
I rinced all the clothes and then rewashed the load after cleaning out the machine,
sThe clothes were covered again in the sludge again but this time the machine smelt like burning and didnt drain.
it will go in the spin cycle, but won't empty and started to smell like burning when we stopped it.
WWYD? appliance repair man? plumber? links to tutorials. Ideas of where the sludge is coming from and how to fix the problem.
