Yes. Just take out the bottom rack and the Hydrosweep so it does not bank up your porcelain tank. |

May well be surface rust from water with an iron content.
Begin with cleaning the area with one of the rust/lime removers like CLR or Lime-Away. Rinse well afterward. If you see obvious sources of rust, then there are ways to deal with them. But do the simple thing first, and try not to worry yourself into worst-case scenario before it's absolutely necessary. A lot of "rusty" sumps are just stains from water. Also, that bottom rack was replaced for a reason, and the reason was almost certainly rust. So, the rust staining in your sump could well have come from that. |

I believe the upper rack is from another Kitchenaid from that era, as it has a metal wash arm and china guard to protect items in the lower rack from being hit by the upper arm. One way to tell if it is from an 18 is the length of the upper wash arm... does it go only 3/4 of the way to the back of the rack or all the way? The 18 series upper wash arms were shorter and were replaced by a longer arm/bigger diameter china guard starting with the 19 series.
