Rust spots appearing on the interior or on dish racks.

Safety first: No electrical work required.

• Inspect racks: Remove racks and check for chipped or missing vinyl coating. Rust can spread from exposed metal.
• Use rack repair kit: For minor spots, use a rack tine repair kit to seal exposed metal.
• Replace severely rusted racks: If many tines are rusted, replace the entire dish rack.
• Check water quality: If water has high iron, consider a whole-house filter or softener.

Interior stainless steel rust is usually surface contamination and can be cleaned with a non-abrasive stainless cleaner.
