Safety first: No electrical work is required for this issue.

• Inspect racks: Examine upper and lower racks for chipped or missing vinyl coating on tines.
• Repair minor damage: Use rack repair paint or caps designed for dishwasher racks to cover small exposed areas.
• Replace severely rusted racks: If many tines are rusted or broken, replace the entire rack with an OEM Crosley-compatible rack.
• Use appropriate detergent: Switch to a high-quality detergent and ensure proper rinse aid use to minimize corrosion.
