Rust spots appearing on cutlery or inside the dishwasher.

Safety first: Switch off the appliance before inspecting racks.

• Check items: Remove any non‑dishwasher‑safe or low‑quality metal items that may rust.
• Clean salt spills: If salt has spilled into the tub, run a rinse cycle immediately to dissolve it.
• Inspect racks: Look for chipped rack tines exposing metal. Use rack repair paint or replace the rack to prevent further rust transfer.
