The Silverware Basket Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE dishwashers. It is a specialized basket designed to hold and secure utensils, flatware, and other small items during the dishwashing cycle. It is important to note that if your original basket was a 3-piece design, the manufacturer has updated this part to a more convenient 1-piece design
Symptoms of a need to replace the silverware basket assembly:
- Cracks, breaks, or damage to the basket structure
- Missing or detached components, such as separators or handles
- Rust or corrosion on metal parts, affecting functionality and appearance
Causes of a faulty silverware basket assembly can include general wear and tear, exposure to high temperatures or harsh detergents, and accidental impact or mishandling.
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore dishwasher models.
