Description

This HANGER-BASKET secures the silverware/basket assembly in the dishwasher rack so cutlery and small items stay upright for better cleaning and drying. It replaces a broken or worn rack hanger to restore proper basket support. What it does:

• Holds and stabilizes the silverware basket on the dishwasher rack during cycles
• Prevents the basket from tipping, shifting, or falling into the wash area
• Helps maintain proper spray clearance so utensils receive consistent cleaning
• Reduces noise and wear caused by a loose or damaged basket hanger

What's included:

• One hanger-basket piece as shown

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and water to the appliance before beginning any service
• Typically installs by snapping or sliding onto the rack rail—confirm orientation before fastening
• Inspect surrounding rack clips and rails for damage; replace if needed to ensure secure fit
