Replacing a Dishwasher Cutlery Basket
A dishwasher cutlery basket is an essential part of your dishwasher, helping to keep your silverware and cutlery organised during the washing cycle. Over time, however, the basket can become worn out or damaged, making it necessary to replace it.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to remove and replace a dishwasher cutlery basket.
Before we begin…
- Disconnect the appliance from any power supply and isolate the supply so it cannot be accidentally reconnected while you are working on it.
- Wear gloves! While appliances are nice and smooth on the exterior and pose no risk to cuts etc, the inside of appliances can be extremely sharp as they are not designed for consumers hands to be inside the machine.
- If you are not confident in attempting any repair to a domestic appliance, then call an expert.
Instructions:
- Open the Dishwasher – Open the dishwasher and locate the cutlery basket. The basket is usually located at the bottom of the dishwasher, and can easily be removed by pulling it out of the dishwasher.
- Remove the Old Cutlery Basket – To remove the old cutlery basket, simply lift it out of the dishwasher and place it aside. Depending on the model of your dishwasher, there may be a few clips or hooks that hold the basket in place. Simply push or release these clips or hooks to remove the basket.
- Clean the Dishwasher – Once the old cutlery basket has been removed, take the opportunity to clean the dishwasher. Wipe down the area where the basket was located, making sure to remove any debris or residue that may have accumulated.
- Insert the New Cutlery Basket – Take the new cutlery basket and place it in the same spot where the old basket was located. Make sure the basket is inserted correctly and securely, using any clips or hooks that were used to hold the old basket in place.
- Test the New Cutlery Basket – Before closing the dishwasher, make sure to test the new cutlery basket by inserting some silverware and running a quick wash cycle. This will ensure that the basket is securely in place and functioning correctly.
- Close the Dishwasher – Once you are satisfied that the new cutlery basket is working correctly, you can close the dishwasher and plug it back into the power outlet.
