The Basket is an OEM part for Whirlpool chest freezers. It is the removable storage compartment found inside the freezer where items can be organized and stored. The basket is designed with ventilation to allow for air circulation around stored items to maintain optimal freezing temperatures. 

Symptoms of a bad basket can include: 

• Difficulty removing or replacing the basket 
• Parts that are cracked, warped, or broken
• Inability to organize items inside the freezer

Causes are generally wear and tear over time and exposure to temperature extremes. Handling of heavy loads may also lead to damage.

Causes of a bad basket can include deterioration of plastic components from age and continuous temperature cycling, as well as damage from excess weight or impact.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Magic Chef, and select Kenmore models.
