This is a tine pivot clip that is a part of the dishrack on many models of dishwashers. The purpose of the plastic tine pivot clip is to secure the tine row onto the dishrack so it stays in the correct place. Sometimes, the tine pivot clip can be damaged or cracked through typical use. When this occurs, the tine row may move out of place and cause noise or other damage to the dishwasher. If a visual inspection shows damage to the tine pivot clip, it should be replaced.Work gloves will be needed to replace the tine pivot clip. In most cases, the replacement can be done by hand but pliers may also be useful. Unplug the dishwasher and disconnect the water before making the replacement. Open the dishwasher and gain access to the tine pivot clip. Pull it out of the dishwasher and install the new replacement part. Make sure to reconnect the water and power before use.This is a genuine OEM replacement part that is directly sourced from the manufacturer. It is sold as a single part. The tine pivot clip is designed to be compatible with dishwashers manufactured by Kenmore, KitchenAid, and Whirlpool.
