Hello All, i have this old Hotpoint Potwasher Dishwasher with Water Temp Boost and look at how rusty it is! As you can see the lower spray arm it is all brown and rusty. Well im not sure what color it used to be? i think it used to be silver? does anyone know what color the lower spray arm should be??

Yes, the spray arm would have been silver since it is metal. If you want to thoroughly polish and clean the interior, I would use Wink's rust remover. I have used this before and it strips the rust right off the porcelain tank...and restores the finish.
For hard water stains, you can use Soft Scrub or Zud liquid and a green scrubby pad and that will clean all the hard water deposits off the tank. I did this on one of my KitchenAid tanks and when I was done the tank was so smooth and shiny it was like glass! Mike (dishwashercrazy) recommended this to me...so I am giving him credit for this. Good luck! |

we dontuse it alot. we only use it on holidays. we didnt use it yesterday for thanksgiving. the motor gets seized after monthes of not running. I will try to run it everymonth, and i did hear that orange koolaid will help with your dishwasher. just put a little orange flavored koolaid in the detergent cup and run a cycle with nothing inside of the dishwasher. But that didnt help this issue. im going to try someday these crystals i hear about alot.
