SWMBO is telling me that there are white powdery streaks on some
washed items
What is it ?
Should cleaning out the detergent dispensers and running it empty
for a cycle clear it out, or is there something deeper I haven't
thought of ?

give the soap dispenser a good clean


done that today

and then change over to a liguid detergent for a while.


will do

I have also seen suggestions that a max temp long duration wash helps
flush out nasties once in a while.


just finished an empty, high temp max cycle

cheers
