Put washing powder in tray ,machine doing wash but leaving large residue of powder

First compartment on right side of drawer is prewash, next to it on the left is wash, second compartment on right is softener. Bubbles because you are using far too much detergent. Only use 2 tablespoons max for normal fairly large wash load, even less for smaller loads. Front loaders use little water, so need much less detergent. Also, highly suggest you not use softener, leaves residue in washer that soon turns to mildew and bad odors. Use white vinegar in its place. Helps remove detergent residue from clothes, keeps tub smelling good, and is very inexpensive. Liquid detergent is also an issue--it too leaves residue behind. Powdered detergent works much better and also is cheaper(counterintuitive you would think liquid dissolves better, but it doesn't).

read the user manual for the right section to use
if you do not have a user manual then go google and type in ---user manual for ( make and model of machine ) and download a pdf version
personally washing detergent powder causes more problems that what it is worth
change over to liquid detergents

Stop using powder. Use liquid instead and see if that makes a difference.
First off. Before changing the detergent clean the residue of the powder from the tray.
Another thing to keep in mind is the type of detergent.
You want HE detergent. The reason for HE is it uses less and leaves nothing behind. ( HE stands for High Efficiency detergent.)
Hope this helped.

start a wash with a load and after he machine fills with water check to see if the drum rotates this is usually the problem if you get powder residue on wash with no drum action the powder does not disperse also check to see if the machine spins if it does check belt tension if not check belt tension and motor brushes

I amj thinking that you use soap powder in your washing machine. If that is the case what you are expericing is the accumulated powder residue under the agitator breaking away and marking the clothes. Re move the agitator and clead all the gunk out of the machine including a water recycling(saver ) hoses. Washing powder is 90% clay that is used to carry the active ingredaient and is never completely flushed in the rinse cycle. Ity also cause a deteriation of the hoses and pumpseal. When you have cleaned out the machine I recommend you only use liquid detergents as they are more effective and don't leave the residue.

Agitator can be removed easy,Take out the fabric dispenser cup,
Reach down inside the agitator & undo the wing nut, left to undo.
Take out agitator & clean & the bottom of the bowl,
For a more better clean fill machine with hot to high water level & leave soak over night,Do heavy duty wash in the morning to remove scrud.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France.

Different washer dispensers are removed in different ways unfortunately and I do not know your particular machine!
However-
at the rear centre of some dispensers is a lip which requires pushing down as you pull it out (often on the conditioner tray if that is in the centre. On others there is a catch underneath. On yet others you have to lift the tray up at the last moment for it to come out!

When you do remove it, check the conditioner tray as being the culprit. You will probably need to separate a cover thing from it to expose the little pipe/tube down which the conditioner and water should siphon. It can become blocked by a mixture of powder and conditioner so easily!

It's worth checking fairly regularly.

Good luck,

Powder is best, for cleaning, but leaves residue.
Liquid leaves NO residue, but doesn't clean as well.
I find the best of BOTH worlds is to use the Tablets they seem just fine.
Another important thing is the finishing liquid, thats a must do.

The build up of residue as you refe to it, is due to doimn too many low temp washes.
you should do a boilok wash at least once a month, even if you do not put clothes in it, use the powder as normal with or with out clothes.
It is called a mintenance wash, and helps to stop buildup of grease and residue.

with experience, put powder in the first, softner in the middle second, pre wash in the third, but with that model i find its always best to use a liquid or gel direct into the machine, it makes the life of the machine last longer, also stops any build up residue
