Dishwasher Cutlery Drawer Broken or Missing? Part 00775980 – Fix It Fast

If your dishwasher's cutlery drawer is cracked, broken, or missing entirely, your third rack is unusable and utensils have nowhere to go. In most Bosch-built dishwashers, the cutlery drawer takes daily mechanical stress from loading and unloading, and the plastic tabs, rails, or body eventually crack or snap. When it fails, the drawer won't seat properly, slides out during cycles, or simply can't hold cutlery securely. ⚡ Common wear item in Bosch, Siemens, and Thermador dishwashers. Part 00775980 is the genuine OEM replacement cutlery drawer that restores full third-rack functionality with a direct drop-in fit — no modification required.

• ✔ The upper and lower racks slide and function correctly
• ✔ Water supply and wash arms are confirmed OK
• ✔ The third rack rail and slides are intact
