Dr beckhams has left gunk in my machine.. help?!

Hiya

I've had my washing machine 3 years and all honestly have probably only ever run a few hot washes (40/60)
I usually wash on 20/30 degrees

It was starting to smell a bit off.. like weird morning breathe smell so I bought some dr beckhams service it washing machine cleaning powder. Followed instructions and I've just checked the machine and it's full of thick brown gunk?! 🤢🤢🤢

I've wiped it all out, and I'm now running another 60 degree wash with antibacterial stuff in there.

I've cleaned the draw and filter too.. but just checked and the water now in the drum looks brown..

Have I messed up my machine?! Is this normal for dr beckhams to extract that much gunk?!

Attached is a photo of inside the drum before I wiped all of this gunk out and cleaned it with soapy water..

I have a ton of washing to do today (all bedding) before my son comes home tomorrow.. I'm worried now I've ruined it?!

Help!!

It looks like dislodged limescale? I would wipe as much out as possible and do an empty wash on hottest setting you have.

My machine has an actual setting for a drum clean, does yours?

Thank you! I done another 60 wash. Just finished and still has left the same gunk behind again. I've wiped away, bleached it and just put on a 90 wash in the hopes the next one is cleaner 😩

Not that I can see 😩 thank you for your help though!

I've done a 60 wash since.. more gunk. I've just bleach the machine and wiped away the gunk and put on a 90 wash.. wish me luck 😩

theres A dettol liquid you can get from supermarkets and put in drawer if it comes to it
