Whirlpool WP99001576 Silverware Basket for Dishwasher

The Whirlpool WP99001576 Dishwasher Silverware Basket is a removable container designed to hold forks, knives, spoons, and other small utensils during the dishwasher cycle. Typically positioned in the lower dishrack of Whirlpool or Kenmore dishwashers, this basket features sections and dividers that keep utensils separated, reducing the risk of damage while washing. It also includes small openings that promote the circulation of water and detergent, helping to clean the cutlery effectively. By organizing utensils in this basket, space is preserved in the main racks for larger dishes, preventing smaller items from falling through gaps or being hindered by bigger objects. The design contributes to improved water flow and cleaning performance throughout the dishwashing process.
