How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before inspecting racks and tank.

  • 1. Remove foreign metals: Do not wash carbon steel or non-stainless items that can rust inside the dishwasher.
  • 2. Inspect racks: Check Jet Tech racks for chipped coating exposing bare metal. Replace damaged racks to prevent rust transfer.
  • 3. Clean rust stains: Use a stainless-safe cleaner to remove surface rust from the tank.
  • 4. Check water quality: If water has high iron content, consider filtration or treatment.
  • 5. Use approved chemicals: Only use Jet Tech-approved detergents and rinse aids to protect stainless surfaces.
