brown spots on seal?

Hello Alison. Just came across your question while looking for something myself. We had the same problem and eventually came to the conclusion that the brown marks are when water / suds have settled in the folds of the seal and gone off, even a bit mouldy. So the marks on the clothes will be difficult to remove. Just keep treating the marks with a stain remover each time you wash them and occasionally wipe inside the seal to remove the old water. Its a real pain though when you think the machine has ruined your clothes !
