DEPOSITS IN BASKET OF WASHER

SMALL BLACK CRAYON-LIKE PARTICLES ARE APPEARING IN THE WASHER BASKET AFTER WASHING CLOTHING. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURING FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS. COULD A GASKET OR BELT BE DISINTEGRATING AND CAUSING THE DEPOSITS?

Small brown particles are found in filter and also what appeaars to be small grease stains on clothing what could be the problem?

The brown stains are likely coming from the felt drum seal. The OEM adhesive is tar based - and after time and use - breaks down.

You'll need a new felt seal - and the adhesive that is used should be silicone based... eliminating the brown streaks.

if it's appearing on whites mainly (hot cycle)...
This is from not enough HOT loads.

Fatty deposits gather between the basket and tub during COLD washes.

Then they are being released in large numbers when you do your whites on HOT.

It is recommended to do 1 HOT load per week.

Do an empty load with some degreaser added (like Goo-Gone) on the fullest/hottest setting you have.

I'm getting small orange spots/stains on my clothing after washing them in my Maytag washing machine. it is a 2010 machine too. Any thoughts as to what could be causing the stains?

Unless there is a child's crayon or something similar causing it, then suspect that the agitator shaft seal, or the drum seal is leaking oil into the drum. Hopefully, there is still warranty on the machine. Good luck!
