Tried all the suggestions about riding my dark clothes of the white residue but none worked. Must be the washer as see that over 800 hits have been made on this site for the same problem! Manufacture (Whirlpool) doesn't seem to care that we are experiencing this situation or come up with a "real" solution - neither does Sears.
dilute your detergent with hot water. For example, if you use 3 ounces of detergent, add 6 ounces of hot water and 3 ounces of detergent in a container and stir until dissolved completely. Add this to your wash instead of straight detergent.
PS - Only use liquid detergent in HE washers
I never use dry detergent, but still had residue.
Bought an expensive top loader and have to run an extra rinse cycle to avoid the residue on my black uniforms...Plus I now use only those TIDE liquid "capsules" Easy, no fuss and my boys can't every put in too much detergent! Little diasappointed about having to run the extra rinse-the repair guy says it's that or they have to add some electonic component (?) Other than that I love my Samsung.
I had the same problem and after many occurrences of having to scrub them off by hand I tried using clear detergent (Fab free and clear) and problem solved!
