Why replace a DishDrawer cutlery basket?

The cutlery basket holds knives, forks and spoons upright and apart so water from the wash arm can reach every surface. The inserts keep pieces separated and stop spoons nesting together, which is one of the main reasons cutlery comes out with dried food still stuck on. Once the plastic cracks or the grid breaks, small items drop through into the drawer, where they can jam the wash arm or end up in the filter. A wobbly or damaged basket also makes loading awkward and can catch as the drawer closes.

Fitting the new basket

Wait until the drawer has finished its cycle and cooled before reaching in. Lift the old basket out, clip the inserts into the new basket and set it in the same spot. Check the drawer closes without the basket or its handle catching, and turn the wash arm by hand to make sure nothing hangs down into its path before you run a load.
