Description

This midline silverware basket holds utensils during wash cycles so forks, knives and spoons stay contained and clean. It replaces a damaged or missing basket to restore proper utensil organization and dishwasher performance. What it does:

• Holds and separates silverware so items wash and drain properly
• Prevents small items from falling to the tub or blocking the spray arm
• Helps maintain wash coverage and prevents utensil nesting that reduces cleaning
• Fits the dishwasher's midline position to match original loading layout

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

• Remove lower rack to access midline basket; align and snap into the rack grooves per original fit
• No tools usually required, but handle gently to avoid cracking plastic parts
• Inspect surrounding rack clips and supports and replace if broken to ensure secure fit
• Always unplug or disconnect power and follow dishwasher manufacturer's safety instructions before servicing
