Repair rust in washing machine tub?
 

Does anyone know how to repair the rust spots inside a washing machine
where the porcelain has chipped, preferably inexpensively and without
removing the tub. Thanks.

Sanding till all you see is shiny metal, wiping down with alcohol to
degrease, and smearing a little epoxy over the spot? Strongly suspect it
will be a futile effort, since their are probably also rust spots between
the inner and outer tubs, and other points in the water flow path. Are you
getting rust stains on whites? More likely to be the water supply than the
washer at fault. I used worn out rusty laundromat washers for years, and
never had any stains show up. As cheap as used washers are, probably not
worth a whole lot of money or effort to repair.
