well, you don't! It is water destroying metal, because the finish is gone.
You don't. You could concieveably take every part apart, sand and wire brush each rust spot and then you'd have no rust. However, the next time you washed, the rust would start again. You need a new machine..
Barkeepers Friend. This stuff is amazing! Will get rid of rust on just about anything.
Problem is if there is rust you'll have to coat the tub with something (paint?) afterwards or the rust will just return in time.
If its in the barrell replace it about $80.00. That's the only place water could be. If its in the lines run the machine a couple of times that should clean it out.
Fill the machine as if you were going to do a load of clothes, add CLR. let the solution sit for about an hour. After an hour turn the washer back on to finish the cycle. You may have to do it more than once. Hope this helps.
