This product is an Upper Dishrack Flip Tine for the Left Side of dishwashers, presented in a platinum gray color. It measures 2 inches in both width and height.
Specifically crafted for Bosch dishwashers, the Flip Tine Latch serves as a latching mechanism on the upper dish racks, ensuring that the folded tines remain securely fastened.
Made from durable plastic, the latch features offset hooks at its base. These hooks latch onto the roll edges of the flip-up tines, holding them firmly to reduce any unwanted movement.
Potential problems that can occur if the flip tine latch does not operate correctly include:
- Flip tines may droop or fail to stay folded, potentially blocking the spray jets.
- Unaligned racks could impede water distribution.
- Loose tines might result in scratched or displaced dishes.
- Inadequate spray coverage may lead to less effective cleaning.
This component is a genuine OEM replacement from Bosch and is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and select Kenmore models.
