00770657 Genuine OEM Bosch Dishwasher Silverware / Cutlery Drawer
The 00770657 is a genuine Bosch OEM cutlery drawer — a dedicated third-rack silverware caddy that sits in the upper interior of the dishwasher tub, above the top rack, on select Bosch dishwashers equipped with a third rack add-on compartment. Rather than loading silverware into a basket down in the lower rack, this drawer holds forks, spoons, and knives flat in their own dedicated level, laid out individually with room around each piece so water and detergent can reach every surface. It rides on durable rollers along rails built into the tub, sliding smoothly in and out for loading and unloading, and its position at the top of the tub gives it a clear, unobstructed line to the upper spray arm for targeted cleaning.
The tray and support grid inside the drawer are open enough to let water flow freely through while still keeping utensils separated and organized. Because it's a lightweight tray sitting in a hot, wet, chemically active environment for years, common failure points include a metal frame that rusts through and eventually collapses under its own weight, plastic that becomes brittle or begins visibly disappearing from years of heat exposure, and dividers that crack or break, letting silverware jumble together. It directly replaces AP5788109, 00689507, 3279853, and PS8747441. As a genuine OEM part, the 00770657 is manufactured by Bosch to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The 00770657 Genuine OEM Bosch Dishwasher Silverware / Cutlery Drawer fixes Bosch (and compatible Thermador, Gaggenau, and select Kenmore) dishwashers with a third-rack cutlery drawer that has rusted through, has cracked or broken dividers, has become gummy or sticky and won't slide smoothly, or has cracks exposing silverware to the heating element below. Rides on rollers for smooth in-and-out extension. Replaces AP5788109, 00689507, 3279853, PS8747441. This is the roller-equipped cutlery drawer — a similar-looking companion part, 00770656, is a different drawer design without rollers, so double-check which one your dishwasher uses.
Common Problems This Part Fixes

- Plastic that has become brittle, discolored, or is visibly disappearing after years of heat exposure
- Silverware not getting fully clean due to poor spray coverage from a warped or damaged drawer

Installation Notes
This is one of the simplest repairs in the entire dishwasher — no tools, no wiring, and no water lines to disconnect. Open the dishwasher door fully. Locate the existing cutlery drawer at the top of the tub, above the upper rack, and slide it forward and out along its rails until it clears the cabinet. Line up the new 00770657 drawer with the same rollers and rails, and slide it in until it seats fully at the back of the tub. Close the door and run a cycle to confirm the drawer sits securely and doesn't rattle or shift during operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does my drawer use rollers, or is it the other style?
Slide your existing drawer out partway and look underneath or along the sides — this 00770657 drawer rides on visible roller wheels along the tub rails. If your drawer instead has a simpler glide track with no rollers, you likely have the companion part, 00770656, which is a different design used on other models. The two aren't interchangeable, so it's worth confirming before ordering.
My drawer's metal frame has rusted through. Is that just cosmetic, or should I replace it?
It's worth replacing rather than living with it. Once the metal frame starts rusting through, it typically continues to weaken and can eventually collapse under the weight of loaded silverware, sometimes suddenly. Customers who've dealt with this describe the original frame rusting to the point of failure over time — replacing it before it fully gives out avoids a mid-cycle collapse and keeps your utensils properly organized and exposed to the wash spray.
Do I need any tools to install this?
No. This is a genuinely tool-free repair — slide the old drawer out along its rails, then slide the new one in until it seats. Customers consistently describe this as one of the easiest dishwasher parts to swap.
I see cracks or holes in my drawer near the bottom. Is that a safety concern?
It can be, depending on where the damage is. If cracks or holes are positioned where silverware could shift down and make direct contact with the dishwasher's heating element, that's worth addressing rather than ignoring, since it can affect both the cleaning process and the condition of your utensils over repeated cycles. Replacing a cracked or holed drawer resolves this.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Bosch to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original roller mechanism, basket grid layout, and dimensions of the cutlery drawer originally installed in your third-rack-equipped Bosch, Thermador, Gaggenau, or compatible Kenmore dishwasher.
