Unfortunately, the 18.5yo Maytag I dragged to the curb two weeks ago suffered the same rusty rack problem. I had actually considered picking up a $35 unit from the local ReStore with good racks to replace the racks in mine, since Whirlpool/Maytags used similar racks. Ultimately, the smell of burning insulation on the main motor windings sent mine to the curb.
Several hundred dollars later, I have a beautiful 800 series Bosch in its place. We're still learning how to best arrange the dishware in this thing to make use of all three levels.
