Rust spots appearing on cutlery or inside the dishwasher tub.

Safety first: No electrical work is needed; focus on inspection and cleaning.

• Inspect racks: Check Iberna basket tines and rack wires for chipped plastic coating. Use rack repair paint or replace racks if corrosion is advanced.
• Use stainless cutlery: Replace low-grade steel items that are prone to rusting.
• Clean salt spills: If salt has spilled into the tub, wipe it away immediately to prevent corrosion.
• Water treatment: If your water has high iron content, consider a whole-house filter or softener.

Existing rust stains can often be reduced with a stainless steel cleaner suitable for dishwashers.
