Residue All Over Clothes Since Day One

WORST WASHING MACHINE EVEr Review From: [email protected], Jan 15, 2012 One year with this machine and I hate it. Leaves white residue all over dark clothes. Probably on light clothes, too but can't see it. I have called into help line twice, and at their urging tested water temp, switched to Tide. Also washing small loads on HOT and BULKY setting to get more water in rinse. Sometimes..clothes are DRY after going thru entire wash cycle! I now wash only jeans on 1 load, only shirts in another as suggested by their support person. No change..and such small loads..all on HOT with extra rinse kinda of defeats the purpose of high energy. Have photos if you want.
