Washing machine lid is rusting?

I have a kenmore washing machine and the lid has a lot of rust on the inside lip. My other washing machine did the same thing.





Am I doing something wrong to cause it to rust like this?





We have very hard water.Washing machine lid is rusting?
The only thing wrong was to bye another SEARS productWashing machine lid is rusting?
Washing machines will have either an enamel lid, or a porcelain coated lid...The pocelain is much stonger and won't chip off like the enamel..Yours is probably enamel.
Having hard water turns stuff orange. I grew up with that. Orange stains everywhere.


Try leaving your washer lid open when you're not using it so it won't stay wet, and then the metal won't rust. If the rust comes from the water, like a rust stain, there's not much you can do about it.
go and get clr use clr to remove all rust stains, after removing all rust stains, make a habit of cleaning inside lid,outside and cracks with vinegar and water solution on a weekly basis,
Sand it down with sandpaper and paint with a rustolium paint product for metal.
