Customer Questions and Answers for Folding Tine Row by Ge

The Folding Tine Row is an OEM replacement part for GE dishwashers. Located along the lower rack, it contains movable plastic tines that flex to accommodate varying dish sizes and configurations. Proper functioning tines are essential for optimizing wash coverage and cleaning results. 

Causes of a bad folding tine row include cracked or broken plastic from years of repeated movement. Mineral buildup may cause tines to become rigid or stuck over time as well.

Symptoms include: 

• Inability to fit larger pots, pans, or casserole dishes  
• Items not getting fully washed due to restricted spray access
• Food particles or residue left behind in hard-to-reach areas  
• Warped or misaligned tines that snag during loading/unloading

Compatible models include Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore dishwashers.
