Whirlpool Corporation produces a diverse array of products, catering to brands such as Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, they manufacture items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. Among these offerings is the Folding Tine Clip, an OEM replacement component. This clip is specifically crafted to secure the adjustable tines on the lower rack of Whirlpool dishwashers.
This blue-colored clip measures approximately 4 inches in width and 1 inch in height. Its primary role is to facilitate smooth operation of the dishwasher rack by enabling easy adjustment of the tine row. The clip resembles the shape of a "C" and attaches directly to the rack rung. Its side extension is oriented away from the tines, ensuring proper alignment and stability.
To install, align the tines with the openings in the clip before attaching it to the rack rungs. This arrangement allows the dish rack to accommodate various dish sizes efficiently. The clip is designed for compatibility with specific models of Whirlpool and Maytag dishwashers and can replace any clips that are lost or damaged.
