Rust spots appearing on cutlery or inside the dishwasher tub.

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.
