WP6-918873 - Whirlpool Dishwasher Silverware Basket

This Whirlpool Dishwasher Silverware Basket (WP6-918873) is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part designed to fit some Maytag MDB-series and Jenn-Air JDB-series dishwashers. It is compatible with Whirlpool dishwashers, ensuring a seamless fit for your appliance. Also known as a "utensil holder," this basket rests in the lower dishrack to house small utensils such as forks, knives, and spoons during the cleaning cycle. The basket includes hinged lids for ease of access and is designed with efficiency in mind, having been redesigned by Whirlpool as a complete, full basket complete with a handle and covers. It's split into two parts, providing versatility in placement within the dishwasher, whether at the front of the bottom dishrack or along the sides, according to personal preference. Measuring 8 inches wide by 11-1/2 inches high by 12 inches deep, and being gray in color, it not only contributes to the effectiveness of your dishwashing process but also complements the interior aesthetics of the dishwasher. If utensils aren't staying put during wash cycles, or if small items are frequently found at the bottom of your appliance post-cycle, it could indicate that this part is due for a replacement. Before purchasing, customers are advised to confirm their dishwasher's model number matches this part for optimal compatibility.
