Customer Questions and Answers for Cutlery Drawer by Bosch

The Cutlery Drawer is an OEM component specifically designed for select Bosch dishwashers featuring third rack add-on compartments. This dedicated caddy optimizes silverware cleaning through specialized spray targeting.

Multi-level silverware baskets keep like items grouped to expose all surfaces and edges to optimal washing coverage. Durable slides facilitate smooth extension and retraction for easy loading and unloading. 

Symptoms signaling the need for a replacement cutlery drawer include:

• Missing or broken basket dividers allowing commingling
• Gummy or sticky drawer glides from food remains to obstruct movement  
• Cracks or holes exposing silverware to direct heating elements

Causes may stem from sharp objects puncturing divider walls or sustained high temperatures weakening plastics over decades. Regular cleaning helps prolong a useful lifetime.

This OEM Bosch replacement part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and select Kenmore dishwashers configured with triple racks for luxurious silverware hygiene.
