Whirlpool Silverware Basket W11158804 OEM Part

The Dishwasher Silverware Basket is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component tailored for Whirlpool dishwashers. It securely fits the lower rack, providing a designated space for utensils such as forks, knives, spoons, and other small kitchen gadgets. This basket ensures that items remain stable during the wash, guaranteeing effective cleaning and preventing them from slipping through the rack.

Whirlpool is responsible for crafting products across multiple brands, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, they manufacture items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

With prolonged use, the silverware basket may develop issues due to regular wear, mishandling, or heat exposure. Such conditions can result in broken sections or an inability to properly hold utensils, leading to suboptimal cleaning or disorganized items.

Indicators of a compromised silverware basket include:

- Utensils failing to remain secure during the wash cycle
- Challenges in organizing or separating cutlery
- Noticeable damage or fractures in the basket compartments

This OEM part is suitable for various brands, including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears.
