Original lower basket GUK 7010 KD for Miele dishwasher Miele 12313350

The original Miele GUK 7010 KD lower basket, part number 12313350, is the main basket that holds plates, bowls and cookware in the lower part of the dishwasher. The basket includes wine glass holders, rows of plate spikes and adjustable supports, and is equipped with wheels for smooth removal. Replaces a basket that has rusted, has broken wheels, or has bent spikes and is not holding dishes properly.

Rusty basket? A wheel has come off its track? Rust on the dish rack is not just an aesthetic problem – some of our customers have discovered rust spots on the dishes themselves after washing. Immediate replacement saves damage to the dishes and the appliance. Make sure your model is from the correct series before ordering:

✅ Just before ordering: This basket is compatible with the G1xxx, G2xxx, G4xxx, G5xxx and G6xxx series. A different basket (GUK 7000) is available for the G6xx, G8xx and G7xxx series. Click the 'Check Model Compatibility' button at the top of the page for instant confirmation.

Why does the basket break down and what are the signs that it needs to be replaced?

The dish rack is loaded with heavy dishes dozens of times a year, exposed to detergent, heat, and steam. The protective coating on the steel wires wears away over time – especially at the points of contact with the dishes and at the wheel connections. Common signs: orange-brown rust spots on the sides of the rack, a wheel that has come off its track and won’t return along the rails, a bent spike that won’t hold plates upright, or a broken wine glass holder.

Why an original Miele basket and not a replacement? The original basket is manufactured to the exact dimensions of the dishwasher's spindle and pull-out rails. A replacement basket may not fit the rails, put a strain on the spray arm pivot, and rust more quickly due to inferior coating. In our experience, a replacement basket that didn't fit exactly right has led to customers returning to purchase the original within a year.

🔧 How do you replace the lower basket in a Miele dishwasher?

Replacing is completely simple and requires no tools. Simply pull the old basket along the rails until it is completely out, insert the new basket onto the rails, and push in until it stops. Before inserting, check that the wheels are seated correctly inside the new basket.

✅ After replacement: Run a short spray cycle and check that the spray arms rotate freely and do not get stuck in the new basket.

💡 Tip from the experts

Extend the life of your basket: The number one cause of premature rust on Miele baskets is using too much detergent. Too much detergent creates an aggressive chemical environment that damages the basket coating over time. The simple tip our technicians repeat: Use the amount recommended by the manufacturer – no more. Excellent cleaning is also achieved with the exact amount, without the associated damage to the steel parts.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Can I continue to use a dishwasher with a rusty basket?

Not recommended. Rust on the basket may leave orange stains on dishes and glasses. In addition, rust fragments may reach the dishwasher pump and damage it. As soon as you detect spreading rust, it is best to replace it before the damage reaches the dishes and pump.

What is the difference between GUK 7010 KD and GUK 7000?

Both are genuine Miele lower baskets, but are for different series. GUK 7010 KD (part number 12313350) fits G1, G2, G4, G5 and G6 series. GUK 7000 fits G6xx, G8xx series and newer G5 and G7 models. The general shape is similar but the dimensions are different – ​​swapping them will not work.

The new wheels of the cart don't fit into the track - what do we do?

Most often, the reason is that the rails themselves are bent or the basket does not fit the model. First, check that the basket part number matches your dishwasher model according to the E-Nr. If the basket fits and still does not fit – check that the rails are straight and there is no debris blocking the wheels.

Does the basket come with wheels?

Yes. The original GUK 7010 KD basket comes with wheels installed. There is no need to purchase wheels separately.
