Possible Causes

Damaged cutlery with exposed steel, Chipped rack coating exposing metal, High salt concentration from leaking salt cap, Non-stainless items washed in dishwasher

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No electrical work required.

  • Inspect racks: Check basket tines and racks for chipped plastic coating. Use rack repair paint or replace the dishwasher rack if many areas are exposed.
  • Check salt cap: Ensure the salt reservoir cap seals properly and is not cracked. Replace if leaking.
  • Remove rusted items: Do not wash non-stainless or already rusting items in the dishwasher, as they can spread rust particles.
  • Clean interior: Use a stainless steel cleaner or dishwasher cleaner to remove rust stains from the tub.
