I am quite puzzled though. There isn't a previous tenant and this was a new build that came with white goods when I purchased it, so it should be new, and I am quite good at running it with washing machine cleaning products every so often to ensure it's clean.

The last few weeks I have used only one pod but it did, only on occasion as before, do the same thing. The engineer said I should try a different brand of detergent to see if it foams less. This seems odd to me because I'll try it, not sure if anyone has any recommendations on such a brand.
It is not the machine that is generating it. It is you using too much of it. Use 1 pod only, 2 is far too much and is bound to cause the problem you have.
BTW I'm an ex washing machine engineer.
