This is a tine clip, also called a tine row pivot, that is commonly used in dishwashers. It is located in the top dish rack. The tine clip is designed to ensure the tine row stays in the right place in the dishrack. The tine clip is made of durable plastic. It can become cracked or damaged through regular use and cause the tine row to move out of place in the dishwasher. If the part is damaged or broken, it will need to be replaced.Replacing the tine clip does not require any specific tools, but work gloves can be useful. Make sure to unplug the dishwasher and turn off the water supply to the appliance before starting the replacement process. Remove the components that restrict access to the tine clip before pulling the clip out of the dishwasher. The new component can be placed in the same location before reassembly. Turn the power and water back on before use.This tine clip is designed to be used with dishwashers manufactured by Ikea, Kenmore, and Whirlpool. It is sold as an individual product. This is an authentic OEM replacement component that is sourced directly from the manufacturer.

This active vent assembly controls airflow from the dishwasher during and after a cycle, releasing humid air at the right time for better drying. Replacing a faulty vent can reduce lingering moisture and steam escaping from the door.

• Regulates and directs moist air out of the tub during the dry portion of the cycle
• Closes during wash to help contain water and heat inside the dishwasher
• Helps reduce interior condensation and improve overall drying results
• Common failure symptoms: dishes not drying, moisture remaining after the cycle, steam escaping at the top of the door, or unusual noise from the vent area

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; allow the unit to cool
• Access is typically through the inner door panel; retain and reuse mounting hardware as required
• Inspect and correctly seat the vent seal to prevent steam leaks
• After installation, run a test cycle to check for proper vent operation and sealing

• Helps prevent overfilling and water leaking from the door
• Common symptoms of a faulty float include no fill, continuous filling/overfilling, or inconsistent water level

• Float and retainer

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Remove the lower rack; lift out the old float
• Access beneath the tub may be required to release/install the retainer
• Ensure the float stem engages the switch lever and moves freely; test-fill and check for leaks
