Amica ZZA6428 Dishwasher Basket Rust Issue: Solutions, Renovator Ral 9016, Substitutes & Costs

Question

Hey. I have a 10-year Amica ZZA6428 dishwasher. They have been starting to corrode my bins for some time. The enamel on the tips falls off and the bars begin to rust. Buying substitutes costs about PLN 400. I found something like this :arrow: link . Only will it remain on the uneven surface and...

Rather, this paint is intended to enhance the aesthetics of the washing machine / free standing dishwasher housing which housing has started to corrode.
Under the conditions in the dishwasher, rather no one-component paint can withstand (temperatures, water, chemistry).
You can try a two-component epoxy primer, or ask at your nearest powder coating shop how much they will take to repaint these baskets.

teskot · Answer

I would damage damaged areas (after cleaning) with two-component glue. Distal comes to my mind immediately. Of course, if the damage is small; otherwise it will be an ant work.

Borutka · Answer

Distal can't stand it, I tested it in a dryer and it still made a mess. I wouldn't apply any home-grown patents. Too much risk of interior contamination and damage. You'd better leave it as it is.

That's usually the effect of stuffing in baskets for strength and bending rods. Look for used bins in good condition.

teskot · Answer

Hmm, it seemed to me that Distal could easily handle it at, say, 80 ° C. Or maybe if the ends of the rods themselves rust, put on them heat shrink sleeves and seal at the ends?

gaijina · Answer

The rust is on the tips not touched so imputation of plates damage falls. Nice idea with t-shirts just how to seal the ends? Drip with plastic?

teskot · Answer

T-shirt at the shrinking stage (lighter, burner, etc.) becomes soft. If the tip is heated strongly, it will melt and will be able to be sealed after pressing with pliers.

gaijina · Answer

I will test thanks. I'll let you know how it turned out.

lamer89 · Answer

Now think what the effect will be when using the dishwasher during the drying phase. The dishes stuck to the heat-shrink tubing and the stench of plastic from them is rather not pleasant.

teskot · Answer

I have not yet met heat shrink sleeves that would soften at a temperature of several dozen ° C. Anyway, there are no contraindications for washing most plastic dishes in the dishwasher. Even in boiling water, T-shirts don't really want to shrink. The heat gun in first gear (apparently just over 200 ° C) also does not work well with them.

gaijina · Answer

I put 4.8 / 2.4 white heat shrink tubing on rusting tips. I squeezed the pliers at the end. Some of the heavily warped ends had to be properly scraped off the rust for the shirt to enter. I think it worked out quite well.
I'm worried about a few outbreaks that I can't protect in this way, but I'm happy now. I will monitor the security status, although I feel that it will last long.
Thank you for the advice.
