How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Wear gloves when handling rusty items to avoid cuts.

  • Remove non-suitable items: Ensure only dishwasher-safe stainless steel cutlery and utensils are used. Remove any carbon steel items.
  • Inspect racks and tank: Look for chipped rack coating or damaged stainless surfaces. Repair or replace rusted racks and address any tank damage.
  • Check water quality: Test for high chloride levels in the water supply. If high, consult Meiko or a water treatment specialist for appropriate filtration.
  • Improve rinsing: Verify rinse pressure and temperature to ensure thorough removal of corrosive residues.
