Black spots on white laundry (by 2 users)

posted by LisaMason on Oct 19, 2007


Dear Repairperson,

When I removed my white laundry from the washer it had small black spots on all over it.  I re-washed them 3 times with triple bleach, I soaked the items in bleach water for 3-4 hours, and after that didn't work, I soaked the items in salt. All to no avail.  I'm afraid to use my washer for fear the spots will appear on all the laundry.  My washer is about 10-14 years old.  Kennmore model #110.82874120 (10 amps/60 Hz/120 volts/stock# 28741).  Could it be the deterioration of the inside of the black rubber-like hose that brings the water in and out of the washer?  I'm baffled and frustrated.  Could you please help?

We also have the same problem. Frigidare Gallery Front loader. It is 5 yrs old and we are getting black spots on the clothes and it sounds like a turbine starting up when it spins.

is the washer noisey when spinning? If so its probable that the main bearings are worn, & losing the original grease into the wash tub. At 10-14 yrs old its probably not woth fixing (assuming parts are still available)
