Possible Causes

Non-stainless or damaged cutlery, Chipped rack coating exposing metal, High salt concentration from leaks

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No electrical work required; standard handling precautions only.

  • Check cutlery: Remove any non-dishwasher-safe or low-grade steel items that may rust.
  • Inspect racks: Look for chips in the plastic coating of the Baumatic baskets. Rusting metal underneath can stain items.
  • Repair racks: Use rack repair paint or caps to cover exposed metal tines, or replace the dishwasher basket(s) if heavily corroded.
  • Check salt cap: Ensure the salt cap seals properly and is not leaking brine into the tub.
  • Clean stains: Use a stainless steel cleaner or dishwasher cleaner to remove existing rust stains.
