Why does the panel break down – and what do we do?
The front panel of the detergent drawer is durable, but not eternal. Daily use, strong pressure when opening, or a slight fall of the drawer – all of these can cause breakage. The common sign is the oval grip groove that breaks, or a panel that detaches from the body of the drawer.
The solution is to replace only the front panel – without purchasing an entire drawer. This saves a lot of money. Replacement does not require special tools and is suitable for DIY.
With all original Miele spare parts you can find the exact solution for your appliance.

💡 Tip from the experts
From the experience of Daniel, a Miele expert at Plrom: Before replacing, check that the drawer rails themselves are in good condition. Sometimes the panel breaks because the drawer “jumps” when opening – this is a sign that the rails are worn. A new panel on damaged rails will last less. A quick 30-second check saves double the expense.
