in the door no more I agree,in theory sounds great, in reality,NOT.One could put their silverware basket on the lower rack.Room is lost,but they'll be clean. | ||

How true My WP d/w leaves the same mess in mine too. Especially between the basket and door liner. I'm going to try placing the basket in the bottom rack to see any difference in cleaning. Never really gave it much thought before. | ||

I got a Whirlpool Quit wash when they were first introduced and loved it except for the silverware basket having to be cleaned out after every load.I did like the capacity,quitness,performance and convenience but if they had made theirs like they made the Kenmore models,I think I would have liked it even more.I now have a GE Triton Tall Tub and love it!!!!

I have to admit though, i have a tendency to crowd the basket sometimes. The basket in mine can also fit perfectly in the bottom rack. | ||

My sister had an older model WP dishwasher with the basket in the door. I found it annoying that the bottom of the basket was slanted so you couldn't put it on the counter to load or unload. I never thought about putting it in the lower rack. As I remember hers, it seems you would have had to put the basket over a couple of spokes of the lower rack to get it to stand up straight.

The right side lower rack on my machine has just enough space to seat the basket in firmly. I wonder if WP anticipated customers might try and do this. Pretty well thought out. | ||

I had a WP dw from 1986-88. I loved the on-the-door silverware rack because it opened up space in the lower rack---especially since it had a hateful tower. I tend to use a lot of pots/pans, so lower rack space is always an issue for me. Having said that, I did notice a degradation in cleaning when I filled the silverware basket completely. In my new Frigidaire, the basket can be broken up into 3 separate sections. I often use only one small silverware pod, placed in the upper rack. Obviously, long knives, spatulas, etc. won't fit, but I either put them elsewhere in the top rack, or if there's room, I move the pod to the bottom rack. | ||

staggering flatware I didn't want to give out false info, so I checked the instructions for the WP and it has a diagram shows staggering the flatware and warns about "nesting". Goes on to say to put sharp items (knives, forks, skewers) point down. | ||

I also noticed that if you put forks and knives pointed downward they will clean well. It's also interesting to note that WP finally has a SS tall tub under their own name in the U.S. too. | ||
