I washed a load of whites just fine and then I washed a load of colored clothes. I took the colored clothes out of the washer and all of the clothes had little white circles on them from the wash basket. They all look like bleach stains. Could that be possible? Also, my washer leaves rust stains on all my clothes. My washer is less then 7 years old. Please please help..Will they replace the washer basket if the paint is chipping on the inside?
I'm sorry but the white spots will be due to bleach. It may be that there was undissolved bleach in the washer after the first load. Maybe some of it came out with the whites and lay in wait in the basket.
I doubt the makers would guarantee anything for 7 years, so no free basket or installation is likely. Seems there is a chip in the enamel and dampness / water from the previous wash days before sits there collecting iron as rust particles.
For the time being you could try rinsing the machine out before the first load. That might prevent the rust marks or reduce them.
1. Iron or manganese in the water supply. • Avoid using chlorine bleach on rust stains. It will make them darker and more obvious. • When iron is dissolved in the water, use granular detergent plus a non-precipitating water conditioner, such as Calgon or Spring Rain*. Better results may be obtained by dissolving detergent and water conditioner in the wash before adding the clothes. Be certain that all clothes are down into the water before starting washer. • If the iron is suspended in the water (it will settle out), attach a rust filter to the faucet and inlet hoses or to the water line. • If iron or manganese stains are a recurring problem, the customer may need a special filter or chemical feeder installed in the home to remove these minerals from the water supply. To remove: Launder with RoVer* Rust Remover Part No. 057961 using the directions below: • Top loading washers: a. Fill the washer with water (no detergent), selecting a temperature suitable for the fabric (hot or warm). b. Add 1/3 cup RoVer and let it dissolve by agitation. c. Add clothes and allow washer to complete the cycle. d. Follow up with an additional wash with detergent.
Be sure to check the spin basket for rust spots also.

I have these bleach spots... for now I have just given up using bleach. I read somewhere else to just not use the bleach dispenser but that stinks because I bought my machine for the dispenser. I have tried to use less bleach and to run some "rinse" loads. I also try to do towels after the whites so our clothes arn't ruined but many many have been ruined anyway...
I have the same problem-small circles left from bleach. I stopped using bleach, but these spots are still showing up randomly a month later!
I get the same rust stains on my white clothes. I have over 15 pieces that has been ruined becasue of this. Sears does not want to do anything about it. They've been at my house over 5 times now and they ignore the situation and say that it can't be from the machine. I hate my Kenmore front loader.....And Sears .
White cloths that is not removed from washer right away, some of it has rust stain
