Customer Questions and Answers for Flip Tine Latch by Bosch

Color: platinum gray. It measures about 2 inches wide by 2 inches high.

The Flip Tine Latch is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. It serves as a latching mechanism on upper dish racks that securely holds folded tines.

Made of durable plastic, the latch features offset hooks integrated along its base edge. These engage onto roll edges of individual flip up tines, pinning them neatly against the chamber to prevent unwanted movement.

Symptoms of a failed flip tine latch include:

• Sagging or unfolded flip tines potentially blocking spray jets
• Restricted water distribution due to improper rack orientation
• Scratched or misplaced dishes from unlatched tines potentially flailing
• Inefficient cleaning from lack of optimized spray coverage

This genuine OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau and select Kenmore models.
