Original cutlery basket for Whirlpool Indesit Ariston dishwasher C00386607

The original Whirlpool cutlery basket C00386607 (also compatible with Bauknecht, Indesit and Ariston) is a durable plastic organizer accessory, with internal partitions and perforated edges for optimal water drainage. The 200×120 mm base is suitable for the LI, ADC and AWSF series. The original accessory ensures a precise fit in the basket compartment in the dishwasher, food contact safety, and resistance to heat and detergents.

Is the basket broken, crooked, or have the partitions broken? Cutlery is penetrating from below and interfering with the lower spray? This is the basket that will solve the problem. The original C00386607 basket gives you back complete organization – each item stands separately, water comes from every direction, and the cleaning results return to what they were on the first day.

Why doesn't the cutlery come out clean from the dishwasher?

A worn, broken, or broken cutlery basket – this is the number one cause of incomplete cleaning of cutlery. When items are resting on each other, water and soap do not reach the corners. The simple solution: replace the basket with a new, original one.

In our experience, many customers order a repeat rinse on the same dishwasher cycle – not knowing that the old basket is the problem. A simple 30-second swap returns results as if you had taken out a new dishwasher.

Why original? A non-original replacement basket sometimes comes with the wrong width dividers, loose dividers, or plastic that warps in high wash temperatures. The original basket meets Whirlpool standards – food contact safety, heat resistance up to 75°C, and precise dimensional compatibility.

What is the difference between an original cutlery basket and a replacement?

The original C00386607 basket is manufactured to precise Whirlpool Group engineering specifications. The plastic meets Food Contact safety standards, the dividers are spaced just right to prevent cutlery from falling in, and the perforated edges are sized and spaced to allow for maximum drainage.

✅ Heat-resistant plastic wash – Does not yellow or warp
✅ Rigid partitions – Upright and separate cutlery holders
✅ Perforated edges – Quick drainage, no water resistance
✅ Base 200×120 mm – Perfect fit for the original basket seat

💡 From the experience of our technicians, non-original replacement baskets are shortened in height by 3-5 mm – enough to make it difficult to remove them from the subway and put them back in.

💡 Tip from the experts

A tip that most customers don't know: The model number (E-Nr) sticker for Whirlpool and Indesit dishwashers is usually found on the inside of the door , at the top edge – not on the exterior of the appliance. The number starts with LI, ADC, or AWSF.

From our technicians' experience: Monthly rinsing of the basket under running water to remove food and grease residues prevents clogging and extends the life of the accessory. For a deep clean – use only Whirlpool approved dishwasher detergents.
