Brown spots on your laundry are usually caused by iron. Dissolved iron is usually noticeable by its color - yellow, orange, red, or brown, as well as by the stains in your sinks. However, iron can build up in the supply pipes (including the city's), and occasionally break loose causing the spots you find on your laundry.
There are commercial rust removers that are applied to the spot and the garment is rinsed out when the stain disappears, but they are not meant to be used in the wash. Check the links below for more complete info and for homemade rust stain preventatives that can be added to the wash.
Brown spots usually indicate the presence of rust.
The rust is getting into your washing machine through two possible sources: your water supply or a corroded agitator shaft or other part of your washer.
If the problem is with your water (have it tested for iron content) I don't know what you can do other than to change detergent to one which inhibits rust staining.
If the problem is with your washing machine, it's time to get a new washer. Cleaning it will just make way for a new batch of rust and you'll have the same problem again in a few months.

sounds like you have a water problem, too much iron in the water, need to set up a filter on the incoming water to your house, if it is that, will also stain tubs and sinks

Those brown spots are caused by iron in your water.
Only a filter will help. Good luck and may God bless.

take the agitatior off and clean it.
And then run a full cycle on hot wate with bleach and no clothes.
RUST is brown. Get a clue.
