Rust inside my washer

I have a top load washer. I have a problem with rust around the inside rim of the washer. It's the area under where the bleach cup is located and surrounding area. I've sanded and painted it with enamel paint but it still rust through. It's a problem because rust gets on my clothes. Is there any solution? Does anybody else have this same problem with there washer?

Use Oxylic Acid Crystals dissolved in hot water and test for color fast if applicable, carpets, clothes, washer, toilet, surfaces, etc. Oxcylic acid is a white crystaline acid which reacts specifically with Ferric Oxide, (rust) and oxidises the stain quite selectively.

Why is my Cabrio Washer rusting around the bleach dispenser?
Because bleach is a corrosive.

I have deep rust appearing around the bleach port. machine is only one year old. WHY is it rusting ?????
Samsung does not recommend the use of chlorine bleach in this machine. The bleach port is intended for color-safe bleach only. Chlorine bleach is an oxidizer that will accelerate the corrosion process of the drum, which is what you are probably seeing. The users guide for your machine states specifically that you SHOULD NOT put liquid chlorine bleach into the bleach port.

Rust around my bleach despenser and under the side of top where the despenser is help
Bleach tends to eat thru the paint and cause the rust. What I do on a call for this is to take the bleach cup out, sand the area and paint the area with appliance paint. Here is a link to the paint I use in case you want to do it. The only way to keep this from occurring again is try not to let the bleach get on the painted areas. I know this is hard to do on a washer but you can try to poor some water around the area of the bleach cup. If you should get the paint else where, be sure it is enamel appliance paint.

Smells mouldy

Hi


The main cause is usually use of a wrong type of detergent that creates too many suds. These suds collect in nooks and crannies and cause mold. Switch from liquid to powdered detergent.First wipe the inside of the washer, especially the area where the door seals to the inside. Mold can collect around the insides and folds of the rubber seals. Get in there and make sure you cleaned it all. You can use bleach or Pinesol.

Now run a cycle of hot water along with two cups of vinegar or lemon juice to loosen up soap and grime. Remove the fabric softener receptacle and soak it in hot water and detergent. Clean the bleach dispenser with a spray cleaner and paper towels and Q-tips. Don't forget to clean the top rim of the wash bucket as it is up and under where it can't usually be seen easily and becomes dirty. Run the washer empty on a hot cycle one more time.



Please get back to us if you have further query else please accept the suggestion.

Our washer , 11 years old has had rust in two areas. The first area has been rusting out for about 5 years and that is the area where you put the bleach. The second area is under the top rim that sits over...
At 11 years old it is not under warranty.Probably not cost effective to fix. Sorry.

I have purchased a kenmore Front-Loading washer model #796.4044. The instructions state that I can mix some colour safe bleach in with the high efficiency (HE) detergent. Is there such a thing as HE...
This is not a technical answer, but we have the same appliance and have not found any HE Color-Safe bleach. We use the Clorox Color-Safe and just use less-- and mix it with the detergent. I've seen other feedback saying to put it into the bleach tray, but we have not done this-- just put some in with the detergent.

We make sure the entire tray area and inside the rubber rim of the door (under it) and anywhere else there's water is totally dry before closing the tray and door, and we've had no problems at all. We also occasionally run a 'clean' cycle through with regular bleach only.

Hope this helps somewhat at least-- Best of luck!

How do I remove the top panel of the Whirlpool Cabrio washing mac
To gain access to a Cabrio washer, use a putty knife to press inward on the 2 spring clips located where the washer top meets the washer's front/side wrap around case. Standing in front of the washer, measure approximately 3 inches inward from the outside of the case. It helps if you get eye level with the line where the top meets the case and shine a flashlight in the crack. You should be able to see the clips. Press in on both of them and the top should lift.

My Whirlpool washer top load has rusted out around area where you put bleach in . I don't know why and now little pieces of rust are in wash tub,when washer is done washing clothes.
If it's less than 5 years old, the warranty covers replacement of the top and lid due to rust. Check here:

Washer has serious stink. It is a top loader and I do not see a lint trap.
Washer smells foul...this is often a build up of soap, water, too many chemicals and this has left a residue, and the mildew moves right in and it stinks. This builds up is often on the inside of the outer tank - picture help. 
Many times that this happens is when people use to much soap and then they only do laundry once a week.
One good solution to help your odor problem...it works well...in a top loader I recommend 2 cups of cascade and 2 cups of bleach, fill your machine with hot water and let it agitate. At the end of the agitation/wash cycle, let the machine sit and soak for about 10-15 minutes to work on your scum, then close the lid and let it complete. Next load run whites to be safe all bleach is out. This should help.
On some really bad odor problems, you may have to remove the inner basket to scrap off the build up from the inside of the outer tank. You may will need special tools to remove the inner basket. 
Fabric softener is also nasty for building up inside and under the agitator. 
It is recommended to use half to a quarter of the detergent that the package  recommends.
Other things that may help, leave the washer lid open between laundry days. Never cover your washing machine with those plastic covers. 
 
ODORS IN DUET HE3 & HE4 WASHERS CLEAN OUT PROCEDURE
NOTE: Make sure that you read these instructions completely before beginning the clean out process.
1. Open the washer door and remove any clothing or items from the washer.
2. Inspect the gray colored seal/bellow between the door opening and the basket for stained areas. Pull back the seal/bellow to inspect areas under the seal/bellow.
3. If stained areas are found, wipe down these areas of the bellows using the following procedure:
a) Mix a dilute solution of liquid chlorine bleach and water (3/4-cup bleach in
1 gallon of warm tap water).
b) Wipe the seal/bellow area with the dilute solution.
c) Let stand 5 minutes.
d) Wipe down area thoroughly with a dry cloth and let the washer interior air dry.
e) Please note:
- Do not use bleach at full strength for cleaning surfaces.
- The use of rubber gloves is recommended when cleaning for prolonged periods.
4. To begin the clean out cycle, do the following:
a) Open the washer door and remove any clothing or items from the washer.
b) Be sure door is closed.
c) Open the dispenser drawer and remove the detergent divider from the main wash detergent compartment. See the Use and Care Guide for instructions. No additives will be added at this time. You will be required to add them at a later step.
- For Whirlpool Duet, select the �Power� button.
- For Kenmore Elite HE products, move to the next step.
d) Select the �Normal� wash cycle.
e) Select the hottest wash water temperature available, (not all temperatures will be available).
f) Select the highest spin speed available.
g) Select the additional or 2nd Rinse option (if available).
h) Press and hold the �Start� key for 2 seconds. The door will lock and filling will begin. NOTE: The water will dispense for a moment, then the door will unlock and re-lock and the cycle will continue.
i) Once the filling has begun again, open the dispenser drawer and immediately add 1 cup liquid chlorine bleach to the main wash detergent compartment.
The liquid chlorine bleach should immediately flow through the dispenser.
NOTE: Do not add any detergent to this clean out cycle. Use of more than 1 cup of bleach per month will cause product damage over time. Addition of bleach without immediately starting the cycle will cause product damage over time.

RUST SPOTS
My 10 year old Kenmore (Whirlpool) top load washer is rusting under the top cover. The entire cover from the bleach dispenser all around is rusted under the lid. Periodically, rust dislodges into the tub and stains whites. You would have to treat the rust under the lid. I decided to try, using "Rust-mort" rust treatment on a rag. The rust would all have to be wetted with the rustmort after some scrubbing with a scuff pad. I have not attempted this yet.
I went to OSH and checked lids on new top load washers. The lip on the cheaper models was not properly coated with paint, and I could feel the rough partially exposed metal, which would rust. The more expensive models had a smooth well coated lip on the underside of the cover. Hope this helps.
