We purchase this washer about 3-4 years ago and the problem of rust is getting worst. The rust started after 1 year on the lid then it accelerated to inside and now the rust stays on most of the clothes I wash. When we look inside with a flashlight, we see that inside is all rusted and peeling off. And I have a baby coming, when i tried to wash the baby's clothes the rust stays on the clothes and its hard to take out. I had to rewash them by hand. I'm really frustrated since we follow the manual very well to take care of this machine. I can't believe this will happen to a 3-4 years old washer since my mom is currently using a Maytag for over 10 years and it still works fine without rust. I hope to have it repair by sears as soon as possible.
