Samsung EcoBubble Washer dryer WD90J6A10AW/EU orange stains
I have mystery orange stains on my laundry. They don't seem to look like rust stains like I've seen on this site. Can anyone advise?
They mostly appear on my whites randomly, but the camera couldn't pick them up, these are the most noticeable photos I can find.
TIA

This thread was marked as solved. Here's a summary of the problem and the fix, generated from the discussion below.
Orange laundry stains likely from washing machine gunge build-up
- The problem
- Samsung EcoBubble washer dryer WD90J6A10AW/EU was leaving random orange stains on laundry, mainly on white items. The marks did not appear to be typical rust stains.
- Likely cause
- The accepted reply says similar marks are commonly caused by a build-up of grease, grime, gunge and limescale inside the washing machine, particularly around and behind the door seal and at the lip of the inner drum. This was suggested as the likely cause, but the cause was not confirmed by follow-up evidence.
- What fixed it
- Check behind and underneath the door seal, including where the seal meets the lip of the inner drum, for accumulated gunge or residue. The thread was marked solved, but no completed repair or cleaning result was documented.
- Checks to try
- Inspect behind the door seal
- Inspect underneath the door seal
- Lift up or pull back the door seal where it meets the lip of the inner drum
- Check whether the underside of the door seal and inside the main outer drum are covered in gunge

Hello. I've seen marks like that before caused by a buildup of grease, grime, gunge and limescale inside the washing machine. Open the door and look behind and underneath the door seal to see if you can see anything. Either lift up or pull back the door seal where it meets the lip of the inner drum. Is the underneath of the door seal and inside the main outer drum covered in gunge?
