Rusted Maytag dishwasher racks
Do you check the warranty with this dishwasher some Maytag dishwashers at five or even 10 year warranty is where they will give you a free rack.
I just got a set of racks free of charge for a Maytag dishwasher for a customer of ours both of them had some rust on them.
If it’s just rusting in one spot it’s probably a little manufacturing defect.
To be cautious if you’re starting to see rust in multiple areas it may have a lot to do with the way the dishwasher is being used, if you tend to use a lot of detergent and long hot cycles and are not putting the dishes in with a lot of food on them the racks will deteriorate and fail much sooner as well the pump motor and seals and lots of other parts of the dishwasher.
We can prove that customers that pre-rinse their dishes cut the dishwashers overall life in about half. A lot of dishwashers are destroyed by overly zealous dish rinsing, lol
