Fisher & Paykel 512818 Crock Insert

Are broken or missing tines in your Fisher & Paykel dishwasher causing plates to fall over, glasses to tip, and dishes to block the spray arms? You don't need to spend $80$150 on a new dish rack assembly. With these 512818 Replacement Dish Rack Tines, you can restore your existing rack to perfect working condition in minutes for a fraction of the cost.

What These Tines Do

Dish rack tines (also called prongs or fingers) are the vertical wire posts that separate and support dishes during the wash cycle. They keep:

Plates and bowls standing upright for proper water and detergent coverage

Cups and glasses secure so they don't tip over and fill with dirty water

Silverware and utensils separated for thorough cleaning

Spray arms unobstructed so water can circulate freely

Over time, tines break from:

Heavy-handed loading and unloading

Impact from dropped dishes or utensils

Fatigue from years of heat cycling and mechanical stress

Rust forming under damaged protective coating

When tines break or bend, dishes slip through the gaps, fall over during the wash cycle, block the spray arms, and come out still dirty. Worse, falling glassware can chip or shatter inside the dishwasher.
