Part WD28X20165 Folding Tine Row Assembly (Lower Rack)
Purpose
Secures and supports dishware on lower dishwasher rack.
Details
This folding tine row assembly for the lower rack of a dishwasher provides structured support for plates, bowls, and other items to maintain proper spacing and stability during the wash cycle. Over time, tines or the fold-down section may break, bend, or fail to lock in the upright position, causing dishes to tilt, fall, or prevent proper spray coverage. Replacing the damaged or worn tine row restores efficient loading, optimal cleaning performance and rack integrity. The WD28X20165 is a Genuine OEM part manufactured for GE-family dishwashers.
