Silverware basket failure

Simple…found ApplicancePartsPros.com in a search. Knew the part number…typed it into search. Bingo…there it was. Ordered. Arrived sooner than anticipated…delighted. Opened the box. Removed 15-year old basket and replaced it with the new basket. It fit. No more silverware dropping to the bottom of dishwasher . Delighted.

Silverware basket's bottom was wearing out and silverware would fall through couldn't even use a couple of the sections.

Went online after finding the model # of my dishwasher and looked up Kitchenaid, to see if they had a comparable replacement. They did, but thought the price was a little excessive for a silverware basket. Then found AppliancePartsPros.com Their website was easy to navigate, prices were almost 50% less and they had it in stock! I will use them again when I need to replace some appliance parts.
