Detergent with a colorant was used. Hard water mineral deposits. The affected items are not corrosion resistant. The spray arm is knocking against an item loaded in the rack.

Wipe away any residue. Add approximately one gallon of cold water to the tub, then close and secure the door. Select the "PREWASH" program. Press the Start/Reset button to drain out the water. Repeat the selected program, if necessary. Pause the wash cycle and rearrange the items accordingly, following the guidelines listed in the user manual.
