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
Metal frame of the cutlery drawer rusted through or visibly corroding
Drawer frame collapsing or sagging under the weight of silverware
Missing or broken dividers letting silverware commingle instead of staying separated
Drawer glides that have become gummy or sticky from food residue buildup, obstructing smooth movement
Cracks or holes in the drawer exposing silverware to direct contact with the heating element
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

Compatibility
This cutlery drawer is compatible with select Bosch dishwashers equipped with a third rack add-on compartment, and is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and select Kenmore dishwashers configured with a triple-rack setup, including model numbers such as:
SHE68T52UC, SHE68T55UC, SHE68T56UC, SHE68TL5UC
SHE863WF5N, SHE863WF6N

Each of these models spans multiple production suffixes (such as /01, /02, /07, and /09) — check your full model and production number for exact confirmation.
Note — check for rollers: This drawer rides on rollers. A similar-looking companion part, 00770656, is a separate cutlery drawer design used on other Bosch/Thermador/Gaggenau models without the roller mechanism. The two are not interchangeable. Check whether your existing drawer slides on visible rollers before ordering, and always verify your full model and production number. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which drawer fits your dishwasher.

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.

XPARTCO 8580309 Dishwasher Door Latch Strike Replaces WP8580309
The XPARTCO 8580309 is an aftermarket replacement door latch strike for Whirlpool-built dishwashers. This small metal component attaches at the top of the dishwasher tub and locks the door latch securely in place whenever the door is closed. It does double duty: mechanically, it's what keeps the door held shut and properly tensioned against the tub opening to maintain a watertight seal during the wash cycle, and it also acts as the actuator that trips the door switch, telling the control that the door is closed and it's safe to run.
Made from durable metal, measuring approximately 2" in length. Over years of opening and closing the door, the strike can wear down, bend from an accidental impact, or simply weaken to the point where it no longer holds the latch with enough tension. Debris buildup around the strike can also interfere with proper latching. A failing strike produces a clear set of symptoms: the dishwasher won't start because the door switch never registers as closed, the door feels loose or doesn't seal tightly when shut, or water leaks out around the door during a cycle. It directly replaces WP8580309, AP6013574, 8269111, 1181203, AH1156352, EA1156352, PS1156352, and PS11746800.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 8580309 Dishwasher Door Latch Strike fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Estate, Inglis, and Crosley dishwashers that won't start because the door won't latch, feel loose when closed, or leak water around the door during a cycle. Metal construction, approximately 2" long. Replaces WP8580309, AP6013574, 8269111, 1181203, AH1156352, EA1156352, PS1156352, PS11746800. Package includes small parts — keep away from young children during installation.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dishwasher won't start because the door won't latch or the door switch never registers as closed
Door feels loose, doesn't seal tightly, or doesn't hold shut properly
Water leaking out around the door during a wash cycle
Door latch failing to catch even though the door appears closed
Visible wear, bending, or damage on the strike itself
Increased door-closing noise since the strike no longer cushions the latch properly

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher Or Shut Off Breaker Before Starting Unplug the dishwasher or shut off the house circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. Open the dishwasher door and locate the door latch strike mounted at the top of the tub opening, above where the door latch engages when closed. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, remove the screws securing the old strike in place, then lift it free. Position the new 8580309 strike in the same location, aligning it so the door latch will catch and engage correctly when the door is closed, and secure it with the mounting screws. Close the door and confirm the latch catches firmly and holds the door snugly against the tub with no give. Restore power and run a test cycle, checking around the door for any signs of leaking. Tools needed: flat-blade screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dishwasher won't start even though I closed the door. Is this the strike?
It's a strong possibility. This strike acts as the mechanical actuator for the door switch — when the door closes, the strike is what physically trips the switch to signal the control that it's safe to run. If the strike has worn down, bent, or weakened, the door may appear closed without properly triggering that switch, leaving the dishwasher unable to start even though nothing looks obviously wrong.
Water is leaking around my door during the cycle. Could that be this part?
Yes, this is a common cause. The strike provides the tension that pulls the door snugly against the tub opening to maintain a watertight seal. If it's worn or damaged, the door may close but without enough holding tension to keep the seal tight, letting water seep out around the edges during the wash.
Is this the same strike used on all Whirlpool dishwashers?
No. Whirlpool uses more than one door latch strike design across its dishwasher lineup — for example, the W10544004 / WPW10544004 strike is a separate part used on other models such as the WDF520PADM, WDT730PAHZ, and WDT720PADM. Always check your full model number before ordering to make sure you're getting the correct strike for your specific dishwasher.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the dimensions, mounting configuration, and door-tensioning function of the original WP8580309 latch strike used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, and related dishwashers.

XPARTCO 8182703 Washer Shock Absorber Replaces WP8182703
The XPARTCO 8182703 is an aftermarket replacement front-load washer shock absorber compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Amana, Jenn-Air, Admiral, and Roper front-load washers in the GHW, WFW, MHWE, MFW, and KHWS series. The shock absorber is a hydraulic dampener that connects the outer washer tub to the base frame. During the spin cycle, the shock absorbers absorb and dampen the vibrations and movement generated by the spinning drum — keeping the washer stable, quiet, and protecting internal components from damage caused by excessive movement.
Most compatible Whirlpool-family front-load washers use four shock absorbers — two at the front and two at the rear. When one or more shock absorbers wear out, the outer tub vibrates excessively, causing loud banging or thumping during the spin cycle. It is strongly recommended to replace all four shock absorbers at the same time. This listing is for a single shock absorber. It directly replaces WP8182703, 8181646, 1173231, and several additional cross-reference numbers. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 8182703 Washer Shock Absorber fixes front-load washers that shake violently, bang loudly, or walk across the floor during the spin cycle. The shock absorber dampens tub vibration. Most models use 4 shock absorbers — replace all 4 at the same time. Sold individually. Compatible with Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Amana, Jenn-Air, Admiral, and Roper front-load washers. Replaces WP8182703, 8181646, AP6011831, and more.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Violent shaking or vibrating during the spin cycle
Loud banging, thumping, or clunking noise during spin
Washer "walking" across the floor during the spin cycle
Outer tub hitting the sides of the cabinet during high-speed spin
Spin cycle errors caused by excessive tub movement triggering the imbalance sensor
Visible oil leak, broken mount, or collapsed shock absorber body
Washer repeatedly pausing spin cycle and redistributing the load without resolving the vibration
Replaces Part Numbers
This shock absorber directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers:
WP8182703, 8182703, 1173231, 8181646, EAP11745030, AWP48892, PD00003153, AP6011831, PS11745030.
If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility.
Compatibility
This shock absorber is compatible with select front-load washers from the following brands and series:

Kenmore / Sears front-load washers (select Whirlpool-built models)
KitchenAid front-load washers — KHWS series
Amana front-load washers
Jenn-Air front-load washers
Admiral front-load washers
Roper front-load washers
Important: Most compatible models use 4 shock absorbers (2 front, 2 rear). This part is sold individually. It is strongly recommended to replace all 4 at the same time, as the remaining absorbers have experienced the same wear and will fail soon after.
Key Features
Hydraulic dampener that connects the outer washer tub to the base frame — absorbs spin cycle vibration and prevents tub-to-cabinet contact
Keeps the washer stable and quiet during high-speed spin cycles, protecting drum bearings, seals, and cabinet from premature wear
High-quality reinforced construction — excellent toughness, oil resistance, and resistance to weak acids and alkalis for long service life

⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting Unplug the washer and turn off the water supply before beginning. To access the front shock absorbers, remove the lower front access panel. To access the rear shock absorbers, pull the washer away from the wall, disconnect the water hoses, and remove the rear panel. The shock absorbers connect the outer tub to the base frame with mounting pins at the top and bottom — turn the shock absorber 90 degrees at both pins to release and remove it. Install the new 8182703 shock absorber by inserting the pins into the top and bottom mounting brackets and rotating 90 degrees to lock in place. Replace all 4 shock absorbers during the same repair. Reconnect all panels and water hoses, plug in the washer, restore water supply, and run a spin cycle to verify normal operation. Work gloves are recommended as there are sharp edges inside the cabinet. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, channel-lock pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the washer shock absorber do?
The shock absorbers are hydraulic dampeners that connect the outer washer tub to the base frame of the machine. During the spin cycle — when the drum spins at high speeds — the shock absorbers absorb and dampen the vibrations and movement of the heavy outer tub, keeping it centered and preventing it from striking the sides of the washer cabinet. Without functioning shock absorbers, the washer vibrates violently, makes loud banging noises, and can "walk" across the floor during spin, potentially damaging internal components over time.
How many shock absorbers does my front-load washer have?
Most Whirlpool-family front-load washers compatible with the 8182703 shock absorber use four shock absorbers — two mounted at the front of the tub and two at the rear. This listing is for a single shock absorber. When replacing shock absorbers, it is strongly recommended to replace all four at once, as they all experience the same amount of use and the remaining absorbers are likely to fail soon after the first one.
What is the difference between 8182703 and WP8182703?
These are the same shock absorber. WP8182703 is the updated Whirlpool OEM part number that superseded the original 8182703. The 8181646 is also a cross-reference to this same part. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with all three numbers.
My washer still vibrates after replacing the shock absorbers — what else could it be?
If vibration persists after replacing all four shock absorbers, other possible causes include an unbalanced or overloaded drum, worn drum bearings, a failing suspension spring, or the washer not being level on the floor. Check that the washer's leveling feet are adjusted so all four corners are in firm contact with the floor. Also confirm the load is not oversized — overloading is the most common cause of spin vibration and can prematurely wear shock absorbers.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured from high-quality reinforced materials to match the dimensions and performance of the original WP8182703 shock absorber.
