Dishwasher Missing a Silverware Basket? Whirlpool Cutlery Basket 11057829 — Direct OEM Replacement
If your Whirlpool, Maytag, or KitchenAid dishwasher is missing its silverware basket, or the existing basket is cracked, broken, or has damaged tines, this is the direct OEM replacement. In these dishwashers, the silverware basket (11057829) sits in the lower rack and holds cutlery upright during the wash cycle. When it breaks or goes missing, utensils fall through the rack, block the spray arm, and can cause wash performance issues or damage to the dishwasher interior. ⚡ One of the most commonly lost or broken dishwasher accessories — direct OEM fit, no modification required. Part 11057829 is the genuine OEM Whirlpool silverware basket that restores full cutlery capacity and proper wash performance.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Dishwasher powers on and runs wash cycles normally
- ✔ Lower rack slides in and out correctly
- ✔ Spray arm is unobstructed and spins freely
- ✔ ONLY problem is a missing, cracked, or broken silverware/cutlery basket

If the silverware basket is worn, inspect the lower rack wheels and axles — worn rack rollers are the next most common dishwasher accessory failure and cause the rack to derail or drag. Replacing both at the same time restores full lower rack function in a single service.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: EASY — Under 2 minutes. No tools required. No disconnection of power is required for this accessory swap. Simply slide the lower rack out of the dishwasher, place the new silverware basket into the designated slot on the lower rack, and slide the rack back in. Confirm the basket sits flat and the lid (if applicable) latches correctly before running a cycle.
✓ Compatible Models

💡 Pro Tip
After installing the new silverware basket, manually spin the lower spray arm to confirm it rotates freely with the basket in place. A basket that sits slightly high or is loaded incorrectly can clip the spray arm and reduce wash performance. Takes 5 seconds and prevents a frustrating re-wash.
