Unusual grime/Lindt left on my laundry after using brandt

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

I think those dark spots on the lid of the washer in reply #1 rule out anything gritty like loosened hard water deposits, lint or zeolite residue.

While the hotter the better is true to get out greasy stains from clothes a hot wash can`t do much about to keep dissolved grease and oils in suspension if the detergent has been underdosed. There are limits to Sinner`s Circle.

Even if the detergent is just about enough to keep oils suspended during the wash a grease laden load might still result in the formation of grease balls during the rinses. Even more so if FS is used.
I`m always alarmed if I don`t see any suds in the rinses. The only exception would be if I used a zero suds detergent or natural soap to begin with which I don`t.

But most likely you`ve done everything right and there`s just a nasty build up in the washer from previous owner.
 
The thing is I actually haven’t used this Machine

In quite a long time and they didn’t really feel greasy, they felt slightly Linty and a little greasy , That was probably my fourth wash with it since I took it out of storage, and I’ve always done hot washes with it, It’s just something I’ve always done and I’ve had that machine since probably 2019 I think or 2018 I’m not actually sure
 
I did a load of towels in it that mom hung out,

She said that she didn’t have any problems with it so I’ll actually do my laundry tomorrow on a 60° wash, I think it was a case of underdosing the detergent, at the moment now I’m just filling up the detergent stuff until the max lines are reached on the windows of the detergent holders
 
And also to update the situation

It has finally been resolved, and I no longer have any sort of biofilm ending up on my laundry, although I probably did end up using too much detergent as I ended up running two extra rinses until the water came out clear and then I let it finish with the fabric softener so I’ll probably use a scoop that is about 1 1/2 inches wide by 1 inch wide for my detergent although I probably used too much detergent but I rinsed it all out,

On a related note I have two horizontal axis machines, one does spin the other one rinses a lot, or should I use the same amount of detergent for the main wash? Or should I change it varying on the amount of water that I use for the main wash?
