Dishwasher Cutlery Trays

Anyone know where you can buy replacements. I have a Zanussi dishwasher which is about 7 years old now the the tray is a bit worn out to say the least meaning the cutlery tends to fall out the bottom...

    If the tray bottoms are still more or less intact then I repaired mine using the plastic trays that Chinese takeaways come in, this plastic is dishwasher proof so doesn't melt, it is also food quality so harmless.

    I just cut a square to the same size as the tray bottom and used a paper punch to make a nice pattern of drainage holes. I originally did this as a temporary measure but it worked so well I never had to replace them.

    Any way its an excuse for a sweet & sour

    We got one of ebay as well - cost about £5 - it outlasted the machine.

    We bought a normal cutlery draining rack you'd have if you washed up in the sink. Cost about 79p, jammed that in place. Didn't match the dishwasher, but did the job.
