I have a Fisher & Paykel MW051 top loader washing maching. Old, but works great. But, I notice that if I do a full load, esp with whites, it leaves dark grey scunge (probably soap residue). I've tried cleaning the machine using that washing machine cleaner powder, and I do a warm wash every 2nd wash. Any tips on how I can get rid of the residue marks? Is it possible (or easy enough) to take the agitator out to manually clean? Thanks
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 just read your posting.Now from the information in your posting it tells me you have tried all the settings and cycles and still the soap is present on the clothes at the end of the cycle,Is this correct?Have you tried a cycle with the EFFICIENCY button switched off and in the Regular setting?Have you tried a liquid detergent?Please reply with additional information on the questions and I am sure I can help you rectify this fault.Looking forward to your reply.

Hi there
That fault is the pump blocked error (no change in water level).
i have a quick and easy way to solve this problem.
first turn the machine off then tilt the machine back and lean it on something(a chair or wall), look underneath, in the top right hand corner of the plastic outer boul you will see a small pump motor it has a fan on it spin this fan and if it is hard to turn that means there is somthing stuck in the drain pump keep turning the fan and try to free whatever is stuck in the pump, then try the machine on spin again all goin well the object in the pump should come out with the drain water(doing this will not harm the machine) if the object is still stuck you will need to get the water out of the machine (bailing or siphioning will work) and tilt the machine back again and take the wires off the pump and there should be a white tab on the boul holding the pump on pull this tab and twist the pump anticlockwise about a quarter turn(you will need a few towels or a boul or bucket to catch the water) and it should come off exposing the blockage.
Hope this solves your Problem.
