Customer Questions and Answers for Insert by Bosch

The Insert is an OEM component specifically designed for Bosch dishwashers. It refers to the prongs or pricker plates used inside the silverware basket to separate utensils during washing. 

Causes of bad tines can include bending, breaking, or snapping of the prongs over extended use. Heavy silverware loads or accidentally dropped pieces may also damage tines.

Symptoms of bad tines include:

• Utensils crowding together or tangling during the wash cycle  
• Inability to fully separate all pieces for optimal cleaning

This genuine Bosch part is compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and Kenmore dishwashers manufactured by Bosch.
