Brown stains running down whirlpool dryer walls that look like rust stain. when I use this dryer my clothes are left with stains, and have to be re washed.
Apparently a common problem with 4-5 year old Kenmore and Whirlpool dryers. The paint is rubbed off the back panel by the felt seal attached to the rotating drum. The bare metal gets rusty from the damp clothes. The rust is rubbed off by the felt seal. The entire felt seal will turn brown. The stains are transfered to the clothes. The rust stains can generally be removed by additional cleaning.
I'm going to replace the felt seal on the drum, clean the rust off the back panel and see how long it lasts. Seal w/ adhesive is $30-40.
Some have suggested painting the back panel, but i don't think fresh paint is going to last long. The original paint was probably electrostatically applied and maybe baked on.
Have a look at the out let pipes and all filters, i think its not breathing very well,,,,if the steem cant get out it rust's the case up inside but the iner drum should be made of stainless steel??? so were is the rust stain coming from?? around the inerdoor seal???
maybe its time to get a new dryer,,,how old is your's now? there is no point in using it to dry dirty closes
