Visible rust spots or staining inside the stainless steel tub or on racks.

Safety note: Wear gloves when handling rusty or sharp rack areas.

• Repair rack tines: Use a Frigidaire-compatible rack tine repair kit to cover exposed metal and prevent further rust.
• Remove rust stains: Use a dishwasher-safe rust remover or a paste of baking soda and water to gently scrub stains.
• Check water quality: If you have high iron water, consider a whole-house or point-of-use filter.
• Avoid abrasives: Do not use steel wool or harsh abrasives on the tub or racks.
