Whirlpool 675679 Dishwasher Rack Tine Tips

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 675679 is a replacement rack tine tip set designed for use in dishwasher dish racks. Tine tips are the protective plastic caps fitted to the ends of the wire tines in the upper or lower rack. Over time, these caps crack, split, or fall off, leaving bare metal exposed to water and detergent. Exposed tines cause rust, damage to dishes, and accelerated rack deterioration. The 675679 restores the rack to its original protective function, extending the service life of the existing rack assembly without requiring a full rack replacement.

This part is suited for routine appliance maintenance in residential dishwasher service. Appliance technicians and knowledgeable homeowners typically install tine tips as part of preventive maintenance or in response to visible tine damage. The replacement is applicable when bare wire ends are discovered during inspection or when rust spots appear on rack tines. No special tools are required for installation in most cases.

Key Features

• OEM-style replacement tine tips for dishwasher rack restoration
• Protects dish rack wire tines from rust and corrosion after original caps wear out
• Prevents bare metal contact with dishes, glassware, and cookware
• Extends usable life of existing dish rack without full rack replacement
• Manufactured to OEM fit specifications for precise installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement tine tip set for residential WHIRLPOOL dishwashers. Confirm fitment against the appliance model number before ordering.

Installation Notes

Tine tip replacement is a non-electrical repair that does not require disconnecting power to the appliance, though powering down the unit before servicing is good practice. Remove the dish rack from the dishwasher and allow it to dry before installing new tine tips. Tips are typically pressed onto the wire ends by hand. Inspect the full rack for additional damaged or missing tips before completing the service call.
