Whirlpool w10171734 Silverware Basket

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL w10171734 is a replacement silverware basket designed for use in residential dishwashers. It provides designated compartments that keep utensils upright and separated during the wash cycle, supporting consistent water exposure across all surfaces. This part is a direct replacement for a worn, cracked, or missing utensil basket. Installation requires no special tools and is handled by appliance technicians or knowledgeable homeowners during routine dishwasher maintenance.
