Customer Questions and Answers for Silverware Basket by Ge

The Silverware Basket is an OEM component specifically designed for GE dishwashers. It provides a separator zone to organize knives, forks, and spoons for effective cleaning. Plastic baskets endure exposure to hot water and chemicals with each cycle. Over years of usage, the plastic material can weaken or crack.

Symptoms of a bad silverware basket include:

• Loose or sagging support mesh that allows utensils to shift positions
• Cracks along welded seams where pieces connect
• Missing divider tabs or prongs used to organize different utensils 

Causes leading to failure are typically repetitive stresses from loading and unloading of silverware, along with chemical degradation speeding up plastic fatigue.
