Silverware Basket

Removed the old dishrack shelf by taking off the end caps. A screw driver was used to release the plastic end caps. The old dishrack shelf is now able to just roll out and the new shelf is rolled in and the old end caps replaced. Quick and easy plus it makes the dish machine look new. The new silverware basket requires no tools just replace the old one.

I just replaced them with new ones. Unfortunately the new dishwasher rack was not as sturdy as the original. Hence, when it is loaded the wheel assembly sags and the center portion goes lower. Therefore, while rolling it in and out it hits the center jets and requires that we pick it up as it rolls: acceptable inconvenience but not pleasing.

I fear that with many people using it, eventually the plastic top or plastic extension of the center jet will break off.

I reviewed the choices available, found what I needed, ordered it, got it (quickly), and dropped it into the dishwasher....happy happy!

I replaced the old basket with the new one. Fit perfectly, now I do not have silverware falling through the cracks!

All I did was put in the slot and it fit like a glove.

I had to take the complete builtin dishwasher out of the base cabinet in the kitchen.

turn off electricity - circuit box
turn of water supply - turncock under sink
remove kickplate - screw driver
disconnect electric wires - screw driver
disconnect water feed - 5/8 wrench
remove top screws at counter underside - screw driver
pull out dishwasher - hands and son
turn dishwasher upside down - hands and son
got some water on floor - towel to mop up
remove top shower hose ( a rigid pipe with a screw fitting at top and a neoprene coupler at bottom) - hands
The neoprene coupler is the part that failed, it had worn thin due to heavy water flow

reverse process - same tools

voila - no water leak

I replaced a Silverware basket at the same time, which took two mintues as I had to remove the handle from the old basket and press fit onto new one - hands

Parts Select had the parts I needed and delivered in less than 48 hours. That is great service.

Ordered new part from your site. The new basket arrived in just a few days, without the handle and cover for the small item section. Instructions with with new basket described how to remove the other parts from the old basket and install them on the new one. Everything worked out perfectly and my silverware stays put. I've very happy!!

Took the handle off the old basket and put it on the new one and it was done.

Replaced the old with the new.

Unscrewed the old nut, attached the new arm to the new nut and screwed it in.

Getting the handle off of the old silverware basket was very tough but I did it with help from two of my kids. Why do they call it an 8-section basket when there are only 7 sections? Oh, well.
