Rust spots appearing on the interior racks or on dishes after washing.

Safety first: Allow racks to dry before inspection.

• 1. Inspect racks: Look for chipped or missing vinyl coating on rack tines and welds.
• 2. Use tine repair kit: Apply a dishwasher-safe rack repair coating or caps to exposed metal areas to prevent further rust.
• 3. Replace severely rusted racks: If many areas are rusted, replace the entire rack with an Insignia-compatible upper or lower rack.
• 4. Address water quality: If your water has high iron, consider a whole-house filter or iron removal system.

Do not ignore rust, as flakes can stain dishes and clog filters.
