Rust spots appear on cutlery or inside the dishwasher tub.

Safety first: Wear gloves when handling rusty items.

• Inspect racks: Check Electrolux racks for chipped coating. Use rack repair paint on exposed metal tines or replace racks if heavily damaged.
• Remove non-dishwasher-safe items: Avoid washing carbon steel knives or non-stainless items that can rust.
• Clean rust stains: Use a dishwasher-safe cleaner designed to remove rust and mineral stains from the tub.
• Check water quality: If water has high iron content, consider a water treatment system.
