Dishwasher rack repair tips

Dishwasher racks are made out of durable material, which is coated with protective layers to prevent rusting and corrosion. However, intense usage as well as irregular appliance maintenance could lead to damage to the racks and other parts of the dishwasher. Here are some useful tips on how to look after your dishwasher racks and keep your appliance functioning at its best for longer.
