My washer is kept in the garage (as is my dryer). The washer is stating to have rust spots... one directly on the face of the machine (weird?); the other by the dispenser for bleach or liquid clothes softener and at the bottom. How do I stop/prevent and hide those spots??

Clean the rust off, then paint with porcelain paint. It comes in little bottles made for appliances. When done washing & drying clothes, cover the machines with a heavy tarp.
I agree with 2dogai. I've use this paint on a bathroom before: https://amzn.to/2Ed02Qs
Appliance paint! Clean and remove rust first. Any paint store or home improvement center will have what you need. Mine are in my garage too, but I am in zone 9 where it is hot and very dry most of the year. Rusting caused by moisture.
Cindy,
You have too much moisture in your garage. Once you repaint, apply a couple of coats of car wax.
