      If you notice rust stains forming on the dishes after using your Kenmore Dishwasher, it could be due to the stainless-steel quality of the dishes. Use only dishwasher-proof sets. Another potential cause is improper grounding of the electrical supply; consult a qualified electrician immediately in this case.
