Did not fix it. Since it was a Kenmore, I went to SEARS and they no longer have a replacement in stock..so they want to use a replacement, but not the same. I went to Appliance Pros, and they had the same basket that came with the dishwasher at about 1/2 the price. I ordered it and it came in less than 2 days. Took it out of the box, put the top center piece in the tray and put it in the dishwasher. Voila! Done. BTW, the original that came with the dishwasher did not have the center knife slots in it to help keep the items from banging on the bottom grid.
