When I wash my clothes I notice that the washer leaves spots on my clothes. They look like grease spots.
Kathy, you may have the beginnings of a tub bearing failure. What usually happens is the water seal fails on the tub drum shaft. This lets water into the bearing cavity and usually some grease migrates out into the drum. What eventually happens is the wash water eventually washes the grease out of the bearings and they fail. You will notice your spin cycle getting louder and louder.
You can check for a loose tub bearing by lifting the drum gently at the top. Is there play where the drum can move vertically, independently of the outer assembly? That's my guess. You can do an internet search about tub bearing replacement if you want to get into that. Its doable, depending on your skill level. Good luck.
Been there and done that. Usually Frigidaire doesn't sell the bearings, but they are standard bearings and you can usually match up a seal.

You need to thouroughly clean the large door seal in all of its grooves and the inside of the door as well. Just put on gloves and use detergent to do this and rags or pape rtowels. Also make sure the inside of the tub is clean and that you are not overfilling the washer. Good luck.

Since this happened from day 1, your water may be the problem. Do you have well water? If so, get a softener system. This will get rid of the iron, which is responsible for rust stains. I really doubt that a new machine would cause rust or grease.
Why didn't you do something five years ago when you first noticed this? It will be much more difficult to get a resolution from the manufacturer after5 years.

wipe the inside of the washer with a clean white cloth and see if anything shows up, it may be an ink pin that was left in the wash or a leaking seal that is letting grease enter the washer tube from the washer tub bearings.

Front loaders are known for building up mold and the smell.
It’s caused by using liquid detergent which is made from animal fat. Use
powder. And use the minimum amount.

You probably have a bad seal on the back of the drum, as that bearing is the only source of grease near your clothes. Good luck.
Thank you for your post, friend!
From what you are describing your Frigidaire washer is leaving grease stains on your clothing. I would recommend cleaning your washer with a hot water cycle and bleach. Additionally, it could be a possible issue with your motor, drain pump, or rear bearing and I would suggest seeking assistance from a professional for proper diagnosis and repair. -Matt
