Rust and leaking under my front load washer

My WF42H5200AW/A2 front load washer has begun to leak. I noticed rust and corrosion on the underside of the appliance.

This washer has had light use and has always been kept clean and never moved or tampered with. 

It was purchased new in mid-2015 at Home Depot and was installed using professional installers (Home Depot'S recommended installers) .

I am very disappointed that only 7.5 years later (and in real terms, with the low usage, it's more like 3 normal years of use) it is beginning to fall apart and leak.

 

Has anyone else experienced this problem with your front load washer?
