Product review (4 stars): Perfect KitchenAid match, but this shouldn't need to be replaced!
A perfect match to replace the basket in our KitchenAid dishwasher - even has the KitchenAid name on the handle like the original.  There is a design flaw with the KitchenAid dishwasher KUDS40FVBL4 and others similar to this model, in that the heating element runs directly under the back half of the basket and is too close for the basket material, making it brittle over time from extreme heat.  If you notice, the bottom front of the basket doesn't experience this type of degradation because the heating element is angled there and not directly underneath.  Ours is about 5 years old and was starting to fall apart from underneath.  It is NOT because of sharp silverware, as some reviewers have incorrectly speculated.  Look underneath the basket and you'll see it's been baked and brittle from the heat.  Always put your sharp knives in point down for safety - that is not the cause of this problem; the heat is the cause.  This is a perfect replacement, but it shouldn't need to be replaced in such short time.  Love the dishwasher and our other KitchenAid appliances, but KitchenAid/Whirlpool should provide a replacement due to the flaw in their design.
