Some refrigerators have removable door panels, but not all of them. My Whirlpool refrigerator needed a new door.

You may be able to buy an aftermarket decorative skin that may hide the rust. They sell them on Amazon. But, I think that any attempt to remove the rust with a chemical rubbing compound will just make the door look worse. It's not possible to match the factory finish on stainless steel.
