Assuming you don't want to replace it...

Clean off loose rust & plastic.

Treat with 'Kurust'.

Coat in Epoxy- JB Weld is grey and is better at temperature- checking
you get a good overlap and coverage.

have you ever tried doing that? I don't think you'd succeed

plastidip?

[Rob Morley]

That was my response too, but I wonder how far the corrosion has
reached under the coating. It might be worth stripping it all, shot
blasting and powder coating, rather than patching it up and have the
patches fail.

Thanks - that looks the type of thing.

I was thinking in terms of cutting it back to good metal, then coating
the exposed metal with maybe a primer followed by plastidip suggestion:

Goes to 93C, so should be OK.

Ah thanks, yes. £24 though. I'll have a go at mending first.

The fact they rust in the first place is a bit rubbish. It (Siemens mid
range) is only about 5 years old and not had heavy use.

Dishwashers today have a service life of 3 years before they break and 5
years before they are BER.

Grit blast all the plastic until the entire thing is bare rust free metal
and have it re-dipped. But to be perfectly honest you'd do better to grit
your teeth and buy a replacement.

Previous one lasted from 86 to 17, 31 years.

Is poor loading causing things to cut into the plastic coating in the first
place?

they tend to go on the outside of elbow shaped bends. Nothing hits them, the plastic just cracks up over time, and there it's least supported & most likely to peel. Better plastic needed, or maybe zinc dip coating.

You see. That was presumably made 36 years ago, before we joined the

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such
time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic
and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for
the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the
truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

Reliability is one of the things I like about some old appliances. 1930s ones are better made, probably only because the less successful 30s ones are long gone. A lot of 30s stuff suffers too much in the way of design issues but some's still good for today's world.

Scrapyard, you might even get a fiver for it

Buy a washing up bowl at a poundshop

Then buy a new cabinet for the kitchen and fill it with all the extra crockery
and cutlery you needed because you had a dishwasher

Or the plastic goes hard then thermal expansion in the steel causes
cracks in the end.

The rust points go very deep, with the metal all splaying out. I think one would need to heat the whole thing to above boiling to get all remaining water out of the many rusted areas, then somehow hope to seal the epoxy onto failing plastic coating as well as the piles of rust. It might be doable, but certainly not as simple as glooping some epoxy on.

I expect pickling & hot dip galv would work, don't know what it would cost.

As a quick and dirty fix where there is a "free" end, I would be
inclined to remove all the loose coating and the worst of the rust, and
fit a length of "sticky heat shrink" over the wire, extending slightly
beyond the end of the metal. With any luck, the glue will seal the end.

[tabb...@gmail.com]

or angle grind the rusted end off & apply epoxy. Rust at joints is a much bigger problem than ends though.

Not in a dishwasher. You would need something that can take 100+C.

Our dishwasher doesn't go over 60.

The drying phase takes mine much, much higher.

Do your contents come out wet?

I’m sure you’re right, but not every dishwasher uses such high
temperatures. Our Fisher Paykel twin drawer dishwasher uses relatively low
temperature fan driven warm air to do the drying. You can open it at any
time and it’s never really hot like our previous dishwashers were.

I once got a frame like that coated in something for a friend, not having a
dishwasher myself, from a plating company we used ourselves. I'm just trying
to recall what was done. I believe it was blasted to remove all paint, then
etched to remove rust, then anodised... or a similar process for the
material it was made of, though it might have been dipped in some coating I
do not recall now. Whatever it was it outlasted his dishwasher, and so my
thoughts on these racks, though most these days are crappy plastic, is that
the standard of coating put on when new is rubbish.
