The Dishwasher Tine Clip is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is designed to secure the tines in the dishwasher rack, keeping them in place to properly hold dishes, glasses, and other items during the wash cycle. This clip ensures that the tines remain upright and stable, providing organized and effective loading of the dishwasher.
You should replace the dishwasher tine clip if it becomes damaged or lost. Causes of a bad tine clip can include wear and tear from regular use, breakage from heavy loads, or damage from the high temperatures and detergents used during the wash cycles. A compromised tine clip can lead to tines that are loose or misaligned, affecting the dishwasher's ability to hold items securely.
Symptoms of a bad dishwasher tine clip include:
- Tines that do not stay upright or move out of place
- Difficulty in properly loading items into the dishwasher rack
- Items tipping over or not being held securely during the wash cycle
- Visible damage or breakage of the clip
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
