Original basket stopper clip for the cutlery basket in a Miele dishwasher Miele 2154400

The original basket stop 2154400 is a plastic part that is installed on the cutlery basket rail in a Miele dishwasher. Its function is to prevent the basket from being pulled out beyond the safety point. Fits G1xxx to G6xxx series as well as G3xx, G5xx, G6xx, G7xx and G8xx models. A genuine part that ensures a precise fit and long-lasting durability.

Does the basket come out all the way and fall out? This is a classic sign of a broken or lost stopper. Self-replacement takes about 5 minutes without tools – insert the stopper into the rail and press until it locks into place.

Why is the Miele cutlery basket completely off the rails?

The basket stop is the component that limits the movement of the basket and prevents it from detaching from the rail when pulled. When the stop breaks – usually due to repeated pressure day after day – the basket falls forward, endangering the tools and the rail itself. Quickly replacing the part prevents the damage from escalating.

In the experience of our technicians, a broken brake that is not replaced on time causes about 40% of the time wear on the track – a repair that costs ten times the price of this small part. A few minutes now saves a lot later.

The original part 2154400 is made of industrial plastic and comes in the exact dimensions of the manufacturer. Unapproved replacement parts often do not lock properly – and the basket continues to wobble even after the “repair”.

💡 Tip from the experts

In the experience of our technicians, basket stops often break not from natural wear and tear but from pulling the basket at an angle – when you pull it out hastily and not straight. One small rule: pull the basket straight forward, not to the side, and you will extend the life of the stop (and the entire track) by years.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2154400 basket stopper suitable for all Miele dishwashers?

Not for all models. The part fits the G1xxx to G6xxx series as well as the G3xx, G5xx, G6xx, G7xx and G8xx models. Newer Miele models may have a different part number. Always check the E-Nr of your appliance before ordering.

Can I continue to use the dishwasher even when the stopper is broken?

It is possible for the short term, but not recommended. A basket without a brake will fall off when pulled and may wear out the track. Track wear is a much more expensive repair. It is better to replace the brake as soon as possible – the operation only takes 5 minutes.

Where do you find the model number on a Miele dishwasher?

The model sticker (E-Nr) is located on the inner door edge – open the dishwasher door and check the inner frame on the left or right side. There you will find your exact model to verify compatibility.
