The Whirlpool WP8268866 Silverware Basket keeps cutlery organized and securely positioned during dishwasher cycles. Designed as a replacement basket for compatible dishwashers, it holds items such as forks, spoons, and knives in designated compartments to help prevent them from shifting or scattering during washing. Its open design allows water and detergent to reach the silverware, supporting effective cleaning and rinsing. The basket also makes loading and unloading utensils more convenient while helping keep smaller items contained inside the dishwasher.
