Customer Questions and Answers for Upper Basket (Dishwasher) by Whirlpool

This upper basket replaces the dishwasher's top dish-holding basket to restore secure loading of glasses, cups and small items. It keeps items positioned for cleaning and prevents contact with the spray arms. What it does:

• Holds and organizes dishes and glassware on the top rack for proper wash coverage
• Keeps items upright to reduce tipping, chipping and blocked spray paths
• Replaces a cracked, bent or missing upper basket that causes dishes to shift or rattle
• Helps maintain proper water and detergent flow to upper-rack items

• Disconnect power and water supply to the appliance before starting any service
• Remove the upper rack from the tracks to access and replace the basket
• Re-seat the basket securely and verify the rack moves freely on its rails without binding
• Use OEM hardware and follow the dishwasher manufacturer's instructions for reassembly
