My Washing machine stains clothes; they come out with brown rusty stains. Otherwise the washing machine works fine. my washing machine is lessthen three years old and always give brown stains in white clothes i have change the detergent but no change

Sounds as tho there is an excess of fabric softener build up on the inside of the outter tub. Try Filling with Hot water and bleach and let set for an evening and then turn back on and e tcontinue washing thru cycle.

I would seriously consider getting a newer machine. A brown stain could be rust, or an oil leak. Either way it probably is not worth putting any money into. If this helps, please rate my answer. Thank you.

The first place that I'd check would be the small metal screens inside the openings on the water inlet valve. They can get really rusted, epecially in areas with hard water, so I would recommend removing the water supply hoses and take a gander at the screens. They can sometimes release the iron oxide into the wash water and cause brown stains or blotches on clothing. Hope this helped and best wishes.

I have the feeling that faded from the clothes .. so that there are brown marks .. or .. we have washing machines ber rust .. until that happens

Turn water off. Remove hoses and clean the rust out of the strainers at hose end. If they are clogged they will sound funny when water goes through them.

Brown stains are likely from the felt seal. The adhesive used from the factory disintegrate over time, and when you replace the felt - use some silicone instead.

I have the same prblem

Hi!!! Your tub inner seal is worn off its a seal which protects the inner tub fron the transmission..Need a new tub seal..Good luckk..

I've had this problem for many months now.  Even when it ruined my favorite tops & jeans, I couldn't get myself to let go of them... Good thing though because I have found a solution!  Make a paste using cream of tartar and hydrogen peroxide.  Generously spread the paste over the stains and let sit for about 5 minutes.  Boil enough water to fully immerse the stained garment in.  While waiting for the water to boil, figure out a way to wrap/roll the garment so that the paste doesn't come off when put into the water.  You want the paste to melt onto the stain while in the hot water.  After wrapping/rolling the garment, secure it with string or thread (anything that won't melt) that doesn't have color, just in case it bleeds.  After the water has come to a full boil, immerse the garment into the hot water and let it soak.  After about 15 minutes, remove the garment from the water.  The water should still be very hot, so I use cooking tongs to get it out.  Let the garment cool down to room temperature while still rolled up.  After it has fully cooled, unwrap the garment.  There should be very little or none of the paste left on the stain.  If there is still a great deal of paste, you may want to soak it again until the paste melts a bit more.  Once the paste is gone, rinse of the garment and it should be clean & stain free.  :o)

Are stains a brown rusty color? If so, this may be an indication that the rear drum bearing is going bad. The bearing itself cannot be replaced. You will need to replace the entire back shell of the wash tub. Hope you have a warranty. This can be an expensive repair. Let me know if this is the case.
