For starters, I'm never purchasing a Samsung washer or dryer again, and

My washer developed rust surrounding the bleach compartment. I removed
the plastic edging and discovered the abundant of rust. I attempted to
remove what I could but it'll be very difficult to get in the creases
and crevices, which means it'll return if I don't get it all, though
it'll probably return anyway. What are suggestions to remove all the
rust and/or repair this the best way.

You didn't ask a question, but I'd get one of the products that make a
plastic coating for rusting metal.

I think one is called Extend, but I'm not sure at that, and it comes in
a funny shaped plastic bottle, with a the cap on a slant.

But the label or the clerk at the autoparts store will know what I'm
talkign about. In general, it's only sold at autoparts stores.

Nasty looking. How old is the machine?

There are some pants that are supposed to have a reaction to rust and
prevent it from getting worse. Permatex makes one.

Once painted I'd consider an epoxy paint or coating for protection.

Then just soak it in the rust restorer product and paint it. My washer
ran for years rusted out until the whole bleach dispenser just fell
through but it still washed clothes OK.
I pinched off the hose and put that piece of stainless in there I
talked about.

Can you block off the bottom and build a dam around the top? Phosphoric
acid eats rust but is not aggressive with sound metal. It's usually
found with the concrete stuff at Home Depot etc since its used for
etching concrete.

It's not hand cream but it's not as harsh as hydrochloric. It also
leaves a phosphate residue that inhibits rust formation. Hydrochloric
leave a super clean surface that will rust before your eyes unless you
get a protective layer on it.

Rustzilla and Corroseal get mixed reviews.

No but getting as much as possible off is good. From the photo it looks
like the finish is bubbles and that has to be dealt with. A wire brush
in a drill motor might do the job.

Wire brush/wheel all loose spots. Put a cloth inside the washer first to catch the rust
particles. The rust neutralizer takes care of the rest.

On mine the cast aluminum "spider" holding the drum totally
disintegrated and there was no rust at all anywhere on the cabinet. It
is in "conditioned space" though - low controlled humidity.
The spider problem was due to using only cold water and detergent that
was caustic. Apparently running a hot cycle every few times porevents
the problem - particularly if AFFRESH washing machine cleaner is used
on a semi-regular basis.
Convinced my wife warm water is cheaper than a new washer - - - -

You didn't ask a question, but I'd get one of the products that make a
plastic coating for rusting metal.

I think one is called Extend, but I'm not sure at that, and it comes in
a funny shaped plastic bottle, with a the cap on a slant.

But the label or the clerk at the autoparts store will know what I'm
talkign about. In general, it's only sold at autoparts stores.
PlastiKote rust converter is another product. Then coat with cold
galvanize or weld-through primer and a good epoxy topcoat and install
a rubber gasket between the steel and the plastic part to prevent
vibration from damaging the new finish.
