Whirlpool 8519669 Tine Pivot Dishwasher Part

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 8519669 is an OEM tine pivot designed for use in Whirlpool dishwashers. The tine pivot is the small articulating clip or hinge point that allows dishwasher rack tines to fold down, enabling larger items such as pots, pans, and cutting boards to fit on the lower or upper rack. This is a genuine factory replacement part manufactured by Whirlpool to original specifications. Installation is typically handled by appliance repair technicians or knowledgeable homeowners performing routine dishwasher rack maintenance.

Tine pivots see regular wear from repeated folding and exposure to heat and detergent. When a pivot cracks, breaks, or no longer holds the tine upright, rack loading becomes difficult and items may shift during the wash cycle. Replacing the 8519669 restores proper rack function and protects dishes and glassware from contact damage caused by unsecured tines.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to original design specifications
• Allows rack tines to pivot and fold flat for accommodating oversized cookware
• Designed to withstand repeated dishwasher cycle heat and detergent exposure
• Direct drop-in replacement requiring no modification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement tine pivot for compatible Whirlpool brand dishwashers. Consult the appliance model and parts documentation to confirm fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Disconnect power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker before servicing the rack assembly. The tine pivot typically snaps into position on the rack wire without tools, though needle-nose pliers may assist with seating. Inspect surrounding rack tines and the rack coating for damage while the part is being replaced. Discard any cracked or deformed original pivot hardware.
