The Adjustable Tine Row is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. It is designed to hold and secure dishes, allowing for optimal placement and cleaning efficiency. The adjustable feature allows users to customize the spacing of the tines to accommodate various dish sizes and shapes.

Over time, the adjustable tine row can become damaged or worn out due to repeated use or excessive force when adjusting the tines. This can lead to difficulties in securing dishes properly and may impact the overall performance of the dishwasher.

Symptoms of a bad adjustable tine row include:

• Tines that are bent or broken
• Difficulty in adjusting the tine positions
• Dishes not staying in place during the wash cycle

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

The Dispenser is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. It dispenses detergent and rinse aid at appropriate times during the dishwashing cycle, ensuring optimal cleaning and rinsing performance. The dispenser is essential for maintaining the efficiency and effectiveness of your dishwasher.

Causes of a bad dispenser can include clogging from detergent residue, mechanical failure of the dispenser door or latch, or electronic issues that prevent proper operation. Regular cleaning and maintenance can help mitigate these problems, but parts may still need replacement over time.

Over time, the door latch can wear out or become damaged due to regular use or accidental impact. Common causes of a bad door latch include mechanical failure, wear and tear, or misalignment of the door.

Symptoms of a bad door latch include:

• The dishwasher door not staying closed
• The dishwasher not starting or stopping mid-cycle
