A dishwasher fold-down tine pivot is the small plastic hinge mechanism that allows a row of dish rack tines to fold flat, making room for larger pots, pans, and bowls. It keeps the tines securely upright when needed and lets them fold down smoothly when not. Replace this part if the tines won't stay up, won't fold down, or if the pivot is broken or missing.
