I am sure you did not wash dark clothes with white, right?
How old is the washing machine? Do you feel/see any white particles in the basket of the machine, when the cover is open, and it dries out inside?-- when you wipe your hand inside (the dry machine), do you pick up white residue?
What type of soaps are you using?-- any chance they could be causing the residue?
How hard is your water? (Do you have a water softener in the water system?
maybe machine is not filling with correct amount of water try adding an extra omunt of water say 2 litres and see if the machine sounds like it is washing properly
open the door when operating and observe wah arm positions as these turn aroun as it washes
also check that the wash arms are not blocked
have you tried just white vinegar as your rinse aid. Do a full cycle of your washing machine using white vinegar instead of detergent, to clean any residue from pipes, and then in the next wash try white vinegar as your rinse aid.
Describe the residue. If it's oily (black, dk green) then the seal is out of the tranny and oil is getting into the tub. Dry cleaning is best for oil based stains. Liquid dish detergent is good also. On white it is tough to remove. Your washer will need a new transmission or replacing.
If it is powdery I'd guess a soap buildup, especially if you've recently changed detergents. The new detergent is breaking up the old soap scum in the outer drum and it is redepositing onto your clothes. This should wash out/off.
Tip: If it's a soap residue, fill washer full without clothes with hot water. Add 1 gallon white vinegar and more hot water until the unit if as full as possible. Agitate 15 minutes and drain. Rinse with a full level and drain.
A white residue could be some type of water hardness or residual detergent. Wash dishes by hand and dry, does white residue remain? If yes, there is too much detergent in machine. If no, water problem. Consult with a local water expert
it is coming from the transmission seal the part number is wh8x281 it is located behind the transmission pulley, remove the pulley and remove the old seal and intall the new one
