The cutlery rack in the dishwasher broke. Now a small utensil can fall down, and either prevent the dishwasher sprayer from spinning, or bang around in the bottom of the tub.
Today I fixed it. I used those little locking plastic cable ties. Any hardware store will sell them. MrPages, who calls them zip-ties, buys them in bulk, in all sizes. I’m not sure if he knows how much I raid his stash. These little things are also holding together our rodent and rabbit cages!
So I took a little four inch tie, wrapped it around the broken piece, locked it, clipped it and voila!
No more cutlery banging around, where it is not supposed to be. This little piece of plastic will not come off and it won’t rust. It seems perfectly suited to the job!

You’re like a female MacGyver! Or Mac”Gal”ver as Mr. Branches says.
What a bloody top idea. To replace ours on a 4 y.o. HELLA dishwasher was going to cost $45.
Problem fixed with $2 worth of cable ties.
Great.
