Washer-dryer leaves detergent residues or white streaks on clothes after washing

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before removing the detergent drawer for cleaning.

Step-by-step checks:

• 1. Adjust detergent use:
  • Use HE detergent and follow the dosing instructions for your water hardness and load size.
• 2. Clean detergent drawer and jets:
  • Remove the drawer and clean all compartments.
  • Use a small brush to clean the water jets in the drawer housing.
• 3. Check water pressure and inlet filters:
  • Ensure adequate water flow and clean inlet filters as described in fill fault entries.
• 4. Use extra rinse:
  • Activate the extra rinse option if available for heavily soiled loads.

When to call a technician: If residues persist despite correct dosing and cleaning, water level or control issues may need professional diagnosis.
