The Whirlpool dishwasher KDTE104EWH3 and related models use a poor brittle plastic and the post of the upper basket may break off. This is a clip you can print to replace this post. Sure, it would have been easier to buy a new part but I assure you that they have not improved it at all and the new part will eventually break as well. In fact, watch my account as I will eventually replace this entire part with a printed plastic piece as it falls apart month by month. The original part has 2 sideways T shaped tabs used to secure the basket which you will immediately break when removing the upper basket. This is ok since you don't need them since the baskets won't spontaneously rise in the air unless you have more serious problems in your home. See the detail photo of the factory part - the highlighted area is where the replacement part will sit. If you need to replace the other post, please mirror the part and then print it. This clip is designed to be secured by the weight of the basket (again please use gravity in your home) - no glue is required and I found that simpler designs relying on glue would fail due to my poor choices in glue. Good luck finding food-safe glue suited to large stress and able to stick to the crappy plastic parts provided. Should this part ever break, it is simple to replace and there is no glue to worry about.
