Has anyone had this problem before?
Whenever I was my clothes, they come out like this. I dont think its lint, if I "whip" a shirt or whatever it will leave a huge cloud of what looks like dust.

Ive tried cleaning the filter (front loader), run it on empty with washing machine cleaner and its the same thing.
Washed towels seperately, same thing.
Cleaned the inside of the drum and all over the rubber seal, same fucking thing.
Getting really tired of this shit, the entire house gets covered in this fuck ass dust.

Pull the dryer forward, disconnect the duct from the vent and clear out the blockage.
>>

Not a dryer, a regular washing machine with no dryer option.
>>
>>3001322
Shit, my fault. If it's not minerals or scale in the water then I don't know what it is.
>>
>>3001323
Any way to check or try a fix for that, that you know of?
>>

Make sure the drain is clear and run it through a cycle with half a cup of citric acid.

A water test kit can give you a good idea. The more accurate kits need to be mailed to a lab for testing, but that's more for bacteria and heavy metals.

Do you dose the detergent correctly? Your water supplier should be publishing information about your waters hardness and the detergent should say how much to use in each case.
>>

I use capsules, im guessing it should be a correct dose.
Thought it might be the fabric softener, so i ran a cycle with a load without it, didnt help.
>>
>>3001328
It says 47mg L which would be considered soft.
This really boggles my mind, nothing works.
>>
>>3001334
Maybe there's a part that's disintegrating.
>>
>>3001333
>capsules
its probably those just use liquid
>>

Sounds like residual detergent.
Run a second rinse cycle on a load, and see if it still produces dust.
>>
OP here.
I cleaned out the dispenser (it was seriously full of shit). Thought I had found the culprit.
Ran a 3h cycle at 90c with washing machine cleaner.
Then tried to rinse the clothes that had dried previously and were covered in the dust.

Its still there. fml.

Now you should try to flush the plumbing between the dispenser and tub.
