After running it with half a cup of Harpic the outcome hasn't changed and I saw the same amount of soft flakes, I then ran it again with normal detergent and no washing and still saw some flakes but not as many.

So I have run it 4 times today and cleaned everything I can see, so I think I am stuck with for now, I will check the filter in the morning and see how that looks.
