Description

This dishwasher silverware basket organizes and secures flatware and small utensils in the lower rack so water can reach them effectively. Replace a cracked or missing basket to keep utensils contained and help maintain consistent cleaning performance. What it does:

• Holds forks, knives, spoons, and small utensils upright during wash and rinse cycles
• Helps prevent items from falling through the rack or obstructing the spray arm
• Common symptoms: cracked or broken basket walls, missing sections, warped plastic, or utensils not staying in place
• A damaged or missing basket may contribute to inconsistent cleaning of silverware

What's included:

• 1 silverware basket assembly

Install notes:

• Open the door, pull out the lower rack, lift out the old basket, and place the new basket in the desired position
• Ensure the basket orientation allows the spray arm to spin freely without contacting it
• No tools required; empty sharp utensils before handling to avoid injury
