Have a GE range w/ "stainless" top.
Actually a stainless "finish" over steel which rusted due to rubbing through the thin finish w/ scrub pads.
Real stainless should not show rust.
Replaced rusted the top & drip pans.
Best regards

If you have a Dremel tool, you can use a buffing wheel (made of brass) and set the tool on a low speed. You need to get to the bottom of the rust spot. Make sure the buffing wheel is in line with the grain of the steel on the stove. If you go side to side you'll have a eye sore.
Stainless steel has Chromium in it. The Chromium develops a very thin oxidized layer that protects the steel from corrosion. When the steel gets hot, the Chromium can come out of the steel and it will corrode, so don't allow food and liquids to sit on the stove or this will happen again.

Barkeepers Friend is a great stainless cleaner. Rust on stainless is caused by rubbing it with a carbon steel pan or other utensil.
