Dishwasher Rack Repair, Part 2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- Repairing a 15 year old dishwasher rack that has a damaged vinyl coating and is starting to rust. Finding more areas of damaged coating, working in full sunlight helped to see less bubbled up coating areas.
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'm deciding between this and just getting another dishwasher on Marketplace.... It's just that my machine still works and putting another hunk of waste out there because of $350+ rack replacement is so painful to even THINK about doing... I could get a new one for a little more than two racks!!!!! It's insane! My lower rack is pretty far gone.........
I would give it a try and see if it works for you. Mine is still going a year later. I do have to touch up a few spots where I likely didn't apply enough of the coating. That coating is very thick and it's hard to see if you have applied enough to cover a given spot.
How is it holding up? Mine lasted a few months before rust came thru again. Thinking of trying to fit a commercial dishwasher rack in place. They are 100% plastic.
I did find a few rust spots after a month or so. I think I had just undercoated those areas, so applied a bit more coating. Now 6 months later, there's another spot or 2, need to touch up those.
@@The4Crawler Designed to fail and over--priced replacement to force you to buy new - should be a law against this
@@martik778 Yes, so true. I guess when I buy a new dishwasher, I'll look for stainless steel racks.
@@The4Crawler I can't find any without these type of racks unless you buy commercial
