Indesit IWME 147 leaving white specks on laundry

The problem

After about a year of normal use, an Indesit IWME 147 completed a wash leaving clothes covered in small white specks similar to tissue fragments. Re-rinsing did not remove them. The user stated pockets had been checked and only liquid detergent tablets were used.

Likely cause

The discussion most strongly suggests foreign material or residue in the machine rather than a known internal component fault. One reply stated there is nothing in the machine that normally causes white specks.

What fixed it

Recommended action was to run the machine empty on a hot/boil wash with some detergent to try to clear any residue, and to check the filter for trapped material. The exact repair or final cause was not confirmed in the thread.

Checks to try

• Checked clothing pockets before washing
• Re-rinsed the laundry without success
• Advised to check the filter for anything caught in it
• Advised to test the machine again, for example with an old towel
• Advised to run an empty boil wash with detergent
