Product review (3 stars): Designed Obsolecents
Product design Defect. Made out of the wrong material for placement in such close proximity to the heating element inside the dishwasher. Eventually I am sure that the bottom will start crumbling from this rack just like the original one did. Many review this product as good and suspect they are to blame for the breakage due to dropping silverware into the slots. This is not the reason for failure. Inspecting the unit one will find that it slowly degrades due to being heated excessively by the heating element which is only a couple inches below this tray.

Designed obsolescence!

I originally gave this item a single star but felt it was not fair to the seller. It is not their fault that this thing is not designed with longevity in mind.

It fits my Kitchen Aid dishwasher and is pretty much the same thing as the original, less an enlarged handle that I could unscrew and put on this one and a stainless steel trim piece. Otherwise, same cheap crap as the original kitchen aid.

This item gave me a business idea, "POS Remanufacturing Inc." The manufacture of solid replacement items for all the junk that is out there now so that people don't have to throw things out and can replace the one weak link with a POS Remanufactured part. This plastic POS silverware tray should be built out of stainless steel wire or perhaps a stainless steel clip on bottom could be made to prevent overheating. One time replacement and that would be all. Any company building junk would end up on the wall of shame by having solid replacement parts available online by POS Remanufacturing!

I've just ordered what will be the third pump motor for this same dishwasher. It's about 9 years old. Apparently another part that is designed to fail in this machine. Poor bearings.

A $1,400.00 POS through and through.  I've got well over 10k in Kitchen Aid appliances installed in my kitchen.

Thanks a lot Kitchen Aid!
