It sure does need painting Mary Ann. You should get white epoxy appliance spray where you buy paint. Sand and clean the fridge, mask and lay down drop cloths anywhere you don't want paint and spray according to directions.
You didn't ask a question. Do you have a question?
After gently sanding the spots, use appliance touchup paints. You can buy them on amazon and often they have matches for the particular brand.
To completely repaint, sand, prime with killz spray and paint with rustoleum appliance epoxy the color of your choice. I would stick to the original color myself.

Dawn dish detergent, scrub with a Magic Eraser and use a fine hand sanding block to take off any rust. then you can paint if needed.
At first we actually thought it was from the kids placing magnets all over the refrigerator - my refrigerator doors were super bad - huge rust spots(this is a known defect with the Whirlpool refrigerator we have). I lightly sanded the refrigerator wiped it clean and painted it with epoxy Appliance paint found at Home Depot. You can't even tell! Our rust spots were so big we didn't think the paint was going to cover the spots. They also had a small foam roller and paint tray for roughly $6. I believe the paint was about $15 a quart. I couldn't move my refrigerator outside so I made sure I did it when I could open every window in the house for proper ventilation. It has held up and looks fantastic. So glad I didn't go out and buy a new refrigerator! It was our only option since whirlpool discontinued replacement doors because of this problem! Just make sure you speak to someone at the store to make sure you have the right size roller. When I did this a few years back they had multiple sizes to choose from.
