We purchased a Sears Kenmore Elite (KM TL29002) washing machine in August 2012 and now there is severe rusting around the chlorine dispenser. I have always purchased Kenmore appliances in the past. My last machine took over 15 years to develop such a problem. Unfortunately this machine is out of warranty for this type of problem. Machine is poorly designed for a appliance that costs this much. Next purchase will need to look at other brands.
