Original Miele Dishwasher Spray Arm Miele 5797282

Genuine Miele Dishwasher Spray Arm, Part Number 5797282, is the horizontal tube that connects the water supply point on the back of the dishwasher to the rotating spray arm. The part is compatible with three different configurations: top spray arm in dishwashers without a cutlery basket, middle spray arm in dishwashers with three baskets, and cutlery basket spray arm in dishwashers with a top cutlery drawer. The part fits the G1000 to G6000 and PG8000 series, and replaces Part Numbers 05797280 and 05797281.

Dishes not coming out clean in a particular basket? A damaged spray arm is the most common cause – and replacing it takes about 10 minutes without professional tools.

Why don't the dishes in a certain basket come out clean?

The most common cause is a cracked or broken spray arm that is not delivering water to the rotating sprayer. When the arm is damaged, that particular sprayer stops receiving water – and the dishes in the basket below it come out with food residue, even if the rest of the dishwasher is working perfectly.

From our technicians’ experience, when a customer describes “the dishwasher is working but the dishes in one basket are not clean” – checking the arm is the first step. In 60% of these cases, the arm is the cause.

📋 Technical specifications

✅ Adaptation according to the dishwasher configuration

Part 5797282 is compatible with three types of Miele dishwashers, depending on the rack configuration:

Dishwasher without a cutlery basket (2 baskets): The arm is used to feed water to the upper sprayer – the one above the upper basket.

Dishwasher with upper cutlery basket (SC models): The arm is used to feed water to the sprayer below the cutlery basket. The actual upper sprayer is built into the ceiling of the dishwasher and is not visible.

Dishwasher with 3 baskets and a cutlery drawer: The arm is used to feed water to the middle sprayer – the one that cleans the upper basket from below.

Compatible series: G1xxx, G2xxx, G3xxx, G4xxx, G5xxx, G6xxx, PG8xxx

Example models: G1000, G1143 SC, G2000, G3000, G4000, G5000, G6000, PG8000

How do you know if the arm is broken?

Common signs of trouble:

✅ Dishes in a certain basket come out with food residue, while the other baskets are clean

✅ White spots on cups and plates in a specific basket only

✅ The sprayer does not rotate while the dishwasher is operating.

✅ Unusual noise coming from the upper basket area

⚠️ Before ordering the part – first check that the spray nozzle openings are free of food residue. Periodic cleaning of the spray nozzle is part of the dishwasher maintenance recommended by the manufacturer. If after cleaning the problem persists – the arm is the cause.

🔧 How do you replace the sprinkler arm?

Replacement is simple and takes about 10 minutes, without special tools.

Step 1: Turn off the dishwasher and remove the top rack completely.

Step 2: If there is a cutlery basket – remove it first.

Step 3: On the back of the dishwasher, you will see the horizontal arm connected to the spray arm. Loosen the connection by pressing or turning it slightly.

Step 4: Attach the new arm until it clicks into place.

Step 5: Replace the basket, run a short program, and check that the spray arm rotates freely.

⚠️ Important: Make sure the sprinkler rotates freely after installation – tall dishes in the basket may block its rotation.

💡 Tip from the experts

Before any disassembly – Turn the sprinkler by hand before taking anything apart. If it doesn’t turn freely, the problem may simply be a clogged tool – not a damaged arm. Physical blockage is very common and does not require any new parts.

From our technicians’ experience – about 30% of calls about “sprinkler not working” end with just rearranging the tools. Check this first – it saves time and money.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Does this part fit my Miele dishwasher?

Part 5797282 is compatible with Miele dishwashers G1000 to G6000 and PG8000 series. To verify exact fit for your model, locate the model sticker (E-Nr) on the inner door lip of the dishwasher and check against the list. The model is listed in the format G XXXX.

What is the difference between SKU 5797282 and 05797280?

This is the exact same part. 05797280 and 05797281 are older part numbers for the same arm – 5797282 is the updated version that replaces both. 5797282 can be used in any dishwasher that is compatible with one of the three part numbers.

Can I replace the arm myself?

Yes. This is one of the easiest do-it-yourself replacement parts for Miele dishwashers. No special tools are required – just remove the basket, loosen the old connection and attach the new one. The replacement takes about 10 minutes.

What happens if a damaged arm is not replaced?

A dishwasher with a damaged arm will continue to work, but the basket that serves the damaged sprayer will not receive water – the dishes there will remain dirty with every cycle. Over time, scale and dirt build up in the nearby connections and make replacement difficult. It is better to treat early.
