Installation Instructions
The installation of the dishwasher tine row clip is designed to be straightforward. Follow these steps carefully:
- Safety First: Before beginning, ensure your dishwasher is turned off and disconnected from the power supply to prevent accidental operation.
- Locate the Clip: Identify the position of the broken or missing tine row clip on the upper dishwasher basket. These clips typically secure the movable tines that hold dishes in place.
- Remove Old Clip (if present): If an old clip is still partially attached, carefully remove any remaining pieces. This may involve gently prying it off or snapping it free.
- Position New Clip: Align the new 00611474 tine row clip with the designated slot on the upper basket. The clip is designed to hold two tine rows.
- Secure the Clip: Press the new clip firmly into place until it snaps securely onto the basket. Ensure it is fully seated and does not wobble.
- Test Functionality: Gently move the tines to confirm that the new clip holds them securely and allows for proper movement.
- Restore Power: Once the clip is securely installed, reconnect the dishwasher to the power supply.

Functionality and Usage
The 00611474 Tine Row Clip serves a critical function in your dishwasher's upper basket. It is specifically designed to hold two rows of tines in a fixed position, preventing them from collapsing or shifting during the wash cycle. This ensures that dishes, glasses, and other items remain upright and stable, allowing for optimal water spray and thorough cleaning. Proper functioning of these clips contributes to efficient dishwashing and prevents potential damage to items due to movement.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and continued performance of your 00611474 Dishwasher Tine Row Clips, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the clips for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace them if they appear compromised to maintain proper tine stability.
- Cleaning: While the clips are exposed to dishwasher detergents, food debris can sometimes accumulate around them. If necessary, gently clean the clips with a soft brush and mild soap, then rinse thoroughly.
- Avoid Excessive Force: When loading or unloading dishes, avoid applying excessive force to the tines or clips, as this can lead to premature wear or breakage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your 00611474 Dishwasher Tine Row Clip, consider these troubleshooting steps:
- Clip Does Not Stay in Place: Ensure the clip is correctly aligned and fully snapped into its designated slot. Verify that there are no obstructions preventing it from seating properly.
- Tines Are Loose: If the tines are still loose after installing a new clip, double-check that the clip is the correct part for your dishwasher model and that it is installed securely. Inspect the tines themselves for any damage that might prevent them from being held firmly.
- Clip Breaks Easily: While made from durable material, repeated stress or improper installation can lead to breakage. Ensure correct installation and avoid overloading the dishwasher basket in a way that puts undue pressure on the tines and clips.
