The machine works fine, ding each cycle no problem. But when I get my washing out there is a white powder/residue left all over them, ruining my clothes. I looked at the filter and this is full of water. Thanks

do you have hard water? it could be minerals left on clothes. aif you have water install a good softener, the water heater will last longer and there will me a mineral buildup om faucets
This isn't uncommon and usually results from the over-use of washing liquids or powders. Using vinegar (white is best) and a coarse cloth or gentle scrubbing brush should remove most of the deposit. Otherwise, you may need to do as we did and change the door-seal!
Give the machine a good clean out. Run a cycle with the addition of white vinegar, and then change your washing powder or liquid. You can also add a booster product to the wash cycle.
The white residue you can see is undissolved soap powder, You need to first try reducing the quantity of powder you are using, there is also a good chance that the machine has built up residue between the inner and outer drum, I'd suggest buying a washing machine cleaner and running it through the machine following the instructions on the packaging, A hot empty wash with a cup of dishwasher powder and once it fills up pausing it to soak for a while will also do the same if you cannot find a washing machine cleaner.
1.Have you used too much detergent and it hasn't all rinsed out...was the machine overloaded and the rinse cycle can't penetrate the MASS of wet fabric. 2. If you are in a hard water area, could there be limescale build-up/ mineral deposits within your inlet pipes/hoses. 3. Did you use a biological powder instead of a colour or non-bio detergent and these marks are now actually 'bleached' dye lines.
Do a tub clean cycle. Hottest water, no clothes, cup of bleach in washer, fill bleach dispenser with bleach, fill softener with bleach. Run once or twice. The 'grease' is actually residue from liquid detergent and/or softener. So stop using liquid detergent and switch to powdered (no residue believe it or not). Use plain white vinegar in place of softener. The acid eliminates the mildew residue and also helps get detergent residue out of your clothes. Good luck.
Don't put the powder in the tray. Select you wash cycle, let the water run into the washing machine, then add the powder.The powder should dissolve before you put your clothes inside the machine. Let the washing machine fill up to almost half way and add clothes. This should stop the clothes from getting the residue powder on it.
Sounds more like a build-up of particles that may very well be in the water supply. There is something that you can try to get rid of these particles.
1. With the machine empty start it in normal eash mode and let it fill. Add 1/2 cup bleach to the water and let the machine run completely through the wash cycle. This will help remove any unseen stains or build-up.
2. When the machine drains and begins to refill on the next cycle, add 1/2-1 cup of white vinegar and again, let the machine finish its' cycle.
3. Run the machine through the wash cycle one more time to remove any vinegar that may have been left behind.
This is not a guaranteed method but I have had some success.
