Description
Original Miele dishwasher rinse aid tank seal Miele 5254442
Genuine Miele rinse aid tank lid seal, part number 5254442, designed for dishwashers in the G3, G6, G7 and G8 series. The seal is made of heat and chemical-resistant rubber, diameter 38.7 mm, height 4 mm. It seals the rinse aid compartment lid on the dishwasher door - and prevents liquid from leaking into the dishwasher. Installation is manual, without tools, in just a few minutes.
Is your Miele dishwasher wasting rinse aid too quickly, or are you noticing residue around the opening of the container? This is a clear sign that the seal has failed. This genuine part solves the problem in the simplest way – without calling a technician.
What causes a Miele dishwasher to leak rinse aid?
The gasket seals the rinse aid compartment lid located on the dishwasher door. Over time, the rubber hardens and loses its elasticity – and an internal leak forms. The leak causes three things: excessive rinse aid consumption, stained dishes after washing, and sometimes excess foam at the bottom of the dishwasher. Replacing the gasket – not the entire rinse aid compartment – solves the problem at a low cost.
From our technicians' experience, when a customer reports that rinse aid consumption has suddenly increased or that the dishes are less shiny - in about 65% of cases the seal is to blame. A simple check: Open the dishwasher door, locate the round lid of the rinse aid compartment, and check for any liquid residue around the opening.

🔧 How do you replace the gasket in a dishwasher?
Replacement is simple and requires no tools – most customers complete within 5 minutes. Turn off the dishwasher before replacing. Open the dishwasher door, locate the round lid of the rinse aid compartment, gently remove the old seal, wipe the area with a damp cloth, and press the new seal into place until you feel it lock. Close the dishwasher door and run a short rinse cycle to test.
💡 Expert tip: Before ordering the gasket, also check the detergent level in the compartment. In our experience, about 20% of customers who think the gasket is leaking discover that the compartment is simply too full – and liquid overflows during the wash. The correct level is only up to the MAX mark.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 5254442 gasket suitable for all Miele dishwashers?
The gasket is compatible with Miele dishwashers from the G3, G6, G7 and G8 series. It does not fit all models - it is important to verify the model number (E-Nr) before ordering. The model sticker is located on the edge of the dishwasher door.
How long does the gasket last?
An original Miele gasket is made of quality rubber that is suitable for the heat and detergents of the dishwasher. With proper use, the gasket will last several years. Using excess rinse aid accelerates wear – be sure to fill only to the MAX mark.
Can the gasket be replaced by yourself or do I need a technician?
Replacement is simple and requires no tools. Open the dishwasher door, remove the old gasket, and gently push the new one into place. No disassembly is required. If the gasket does not lock easily, check that the size matches your model.
