Rust spots appear on cutlery and metal items after washing.

Safety first: No internal electrical work is needed; standard handling precautions apply.

• Check cutlery quality: Ensure cutlery is stainless steel and suitable for dishwashers.
• Inspect cutlery basket: Look for broken plastic coating exposing metal, which can rust and stain items. Replace the basket if damaged.
• Clean spilled salt: If salt was spilled into the tub, run a rinse cycle immediately to dissolve and flush it away.
• Adjust rinse aid: Increase rinse aid dosage to improve water sheeting and reduce spotting.
• Dry items promptly: Open the door after the cycle to allow steam to escape and dry metal items faster.
