Best Answer

A washing machine is basically made of an alloy that does not corrode easily.

Stainless steel is found in some. This is Iron witch also contain Nickel and Chromium.

Some manufacturers use high quality stainless steel in their washing machines. This metal has got a higher content of Chromium and make it even more resistant to corrosion. In many cases, this metal is acid proof too.

The box however is mostly made out of the cheapest metal possible, and this does corrode easily when the paint or galvanization comes off.
