Whirlpool 8562043 Silverware Basket for Dish Washer

Whirlpool 8562043 Silverware Basket for Dish Washer

Whew! Was I relieved!
I was so nervous after ordering this because we have a 7 year-old Kitchenaid dishwasher and I wasn't sure if this would fit. Thankfully another reviewer mentioned that the product actually says Kitchenaid on it (it does) and fit in theirs, so I figured I would give it a try. Our original basket had holes in the bottom from knives placed sharp side down for two many years and had become wildly inconvenient to use with various items sliding through making it hard to pull out the lower rack. I was so thrilled when this product arrived (on time, well packaged) and it fit perfectly. And the flip down section to hold knives and other odd items is fantastic. Very Very Happy with this purchase!

Works well on Kitchenaid
We have a Kitchenaid dishwasher. The silverware basket blew out and we got this one to replace it. We were thrilled when it arrived that it was actually a replacement that says Kitchenaid on it, not Whirlpool. Fits great and works just fine!

Design fine, material defective
The actual basket is fine, lifts out easily, etc. My one complaint is that Whirlpool should not have used defective plastic in the first place. The bottom grid melted away, due to heat I'm sure. And not water heat but the actual machine's heat. The silverware fell through the big holes and this began when the machine was only 18 months old. This basket should have been replaced free of charge, in my opinion.
