How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • 1. Inspect racks: Look for chipped or missing vinyl coating on rack tines and supports.
  • 2. Repair minor spots: Use a dishwasher rack repair kit to coat small exposed metal areas.
  • 3. Replace severely rusted racks: If many tines are rusted or broken, replace the entire Frigidaire rack assembly.
  • 4. Avoid harsh cleaners: Do not use bleach or abrasive cleaners inside the dishwasher.

Addressing rust early prevents further damage and staining of dishes.
