How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the unit is unplugged and cool before inspection.

Steps to address corrosion:

  • Assess severity: Light surface rust on non-food-contact metal can sometimes be cleaned; heavy corrosion or rust on food-contact surfaces requires part replacement.
  • Clean gently: Use a non-abrasive pad and mild cleaner to remove light rust. Dry thoroughly.
  • Replace affected parts: If the basket, drawer, or inner liner is rusted, replace the basket/drawer assembly or inner liner as applicable.
  • Prevent recurrence: Avoid soaking the appliance or using corrosive cleaners. Dry all parts completely after washing.
