Normally a washer does not cause a staining problem, but If something inside the washer has rusted, it could. I would check your water tank. Drain water from the drain cock at the bottom of the tank, and see how dirty it is. If it is dirty, you need to drain the water until it is almost clear.
The drum is stainless steel.
Maybe a nut or bolt is in the water flow tubing that is giving off rust.
looks like you are going to have to take off some of the tubes inside and have a look to see if you can find anything amiss.
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.
COULD BE LOOSE BASKET OR REAR BEARING LEAKING OR SIMPLY SUSPENSION SHOCKS BROKEN ,, EVEN SHOWS 1 MINUTE JUST ESTIMATE TIME NOT READY TO SHUT DOWN NORMAL ON DUET MACHINES
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.
If you still have your book, look in the warranty section. The baskets on most models are covered 5 or 10 years against rust. That covers the part but not labor.($130-$160) If the rest of the machine is in good condition, it would probably be worth it. If you don't have your book, look up your specific model on the Whirlpool website and you should be able to find the warranty info. If it is no longer covered, the repair cost would probably not be worth it.
check the basket of the machine for rust spots on the basket if thats the case the basket should have a 10 year warranty depending on the age marks are either caused from that or the dryer. if its frigidaire the dryer then the front seals probably need to be changed make sure to find out exactly which machine its coming from
