WF45R6100AC leaking around control panel

[mcbrains]

We have noticed over the last couple of years that there is a "crust" around the edges of the control panel.  It looks like lime buildup that you would see around a faucet or shower head.  It appears at all of the horizontal "seams" on the front of the washer.  What might be causing this?

Are you handy? If so you could pick up a new rubber piece that goes all the way around. A seal issue seems the most obvious. If you have signed up for the repair program through gas company or the electricity company they will fix it for free. If you only had a 1 year warranty and not signed up for repairing appliances..... I would suggest first signing up and waiting until the washer and dryer are added to that. Secondly, try purchasing the rubber seal piece. Third..... YouTube can give you a ton of advice and costs cheaper then hiring a pumbling person to do it.
