Description

Replacement silverware/cutlery basket that organizes forks, knives and spoons during dishwasher cycles. Restores secure utensil storage in the rack so small items stay contained and are less likely to fall through or nest during washing. What it does:

• Holds silverware and cutlery upright to improve wash exposure and reduce nesting.
• Keeps small items contained so they don't drop to the tub or block the spray arm.
• Helps organize utensils for easier loading and unloading.
• Designed for use in compatible dishwasher racks and detergents.

What's included: One silverware/cutlery basket. Install notes:

• Usually installs without tools — slide or set into the lower rack and verify it sits securely.
• Remove the lower rack for easier positioning; ensure the basket does not obstruct rack movement or spray arms.
• Handle sharp utensils carefully during installation and service.
• Refer to your appliance's OEM instructions for model-specific placement and safety information.
