This dishwasher silverware basket, available in white, includes lids and is compatible with GE dishwashers, as well as select models from Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore. The basket measures roughly 3 inches wide, 8.5 inches high, and 20 inches deep.
As an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component, this basket is positioned in the dishwasher’s lower rack. Its function is to organize and secure utensils during washing. Over time, and with exposure to hot water and detergents, the basket’s plastic may begin to degrade.
Typical factors contributing to the basket’s wear include routine use, the effects of harsh cleaning agents, and potential damage resulting from improper handling.
Indicators that replacement is necessary include visible cracks or breaks in the basket, difficulty placing or removing utensils, or utensils not being adequately cleaned due to damage.
