  • Repairing a 15 year old dishwasher rack that has a damaged vinyl coating and is starting to rust.
    This is a 2007 GE Profile model dishwasher.
    Tools required:
    A small carving knife and a sharp wood chisel worked best for scraping off the bubbled up vinyl coating. A small wire brush helped remove any remaining surface rust and a small paint brush to apply the rust converter.
    The process:
    Scrape off loose vinyl coating.
    Wire brush to remove rust
    Treat exposed metal with rust converter:
    Jenolite (or other brand) Rust Converter

    I did mine with A rack type product with the tips. I have more tines with issues. I'm going to try the converter and see if that holds me for longer. Nice video

      Only way to find out is to give it a try. The tips on my rack were OK, all the rust was at the base.

    I wonder how much it would cost the manufacturers to make their racks from stainless steel? But then they’re not in the business of making long lasting products I suppose (against their own interests) and probably would’nt expect the rest of the dishwasher to last long enough for the rack to rust. My last brand new dishwasher purchase lasted all of three years before a pressure sensor switch gave up. I repaired it and sold it on as I can’t live with that level of unreliability. Bought an 8 year old Miele at 1,600 Swedish kronor and it cleans twice as well and seems to accommodate 50% more dishes in the same eternal volume! Thanks for sharing your repair experience. There’s always something we can learn 👍

      I think the higher end machines often have the stainless racks:

      When I got my present machine 15 years ago, I didn't think to look for that option. My old machine, that came with the house had a leaky door seal which I couldn't fix.
