Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL W10171444 is an OEM silverware basket designed as a direct replacement component for compatible Whirlpool dishwashers. This basket holds flatware and utensils in place during the wash cycle, keeping items separated for thorough cleaning and preventing them from falling through to the spray arms or pump.

Installation Notes

Disconnect power to the dishwasher before performing any service or inspection inside the tub.
