Rust spots appearing on cutlery or inside the dishwasher.

Safety: No electrical work required.

• Check cutlery quality: Ensure cutlery is dishwasher-safe stainless steel. Remove any items that are prone to rust.
• Inspect racks: Look for chips in the plastic coating on baskets and tines. Use rack repair paint or replace racks if metal is exposed.
• Clean salt spills: If salt has spilled into the tub, run a rinse cycle immediately to prevent corrosion.
• Use appropriate detergent: Avoid overly aggressive or abrasive detergents and follow dosage recommendations.
