It is installed within the dishwasher tub to securely maintain the tines of the lower basket, preventing sideways movement or tilting during the wash, thereby enhancing the cleaning performance. This component is gray, approximately 4 inches wide and 1 inch high.

Signs indicating a damaged tine row holder include:

- The lower dish rack appears loose or unstable
- Tines lean or collapse during washing
- Incomplete spray coverage on dishes from certain angles
- Noticeable noise from internal movement of racks or components within the dishwasher
