Description

Original microwave cover for Miele microwave combination oven Miele 5737731

The original Miele 5737731 microwave cover is a thin round plate made of mica – a natural mineral that is transparent to microwaves and heat-resistant. The part is protected by the waveguide opening on the inner wall of the chamber from grease and food residue. When it burns, blackens or cracks – sparks start. Self-replacement takes a minute, without tools, just like replacing the turntable.

About 70% of customers who call for service because their combi oven is sparking don’t need a technician – they just need that little cover. In our experience, a burnt cover is the most common cause of sparking, and most customers replace it by hand in 60 seconds.

Why are there sparks in the combination oven?

Sparks inside the microwave oven almost always come from a damaged microwave cover. Grease and food spray penetrate the material over time, until the mica burns from the inside and forms black spots. ✅ If there are no metal utensils inside and yet there are sparks – look at the cover first. A brown, charred, cracked, or perforated cover is the cause.

What happens if you don't replace it? A damaged cover that continues to be used causes repeated sparks that deteriorate into damage to the magnetron - the expensive component that produces the microwave waves. Replacing the magnetron costs many times more than replacing this simple cover.

Model identification tip: The model sticker for Miele microwave ovens is usually located on the right inner wall of the baking chamber, and sometimes on the back of the appliance.

What is the difference between original coverage and replacement coverage?

The original Miele 5737731 cover is made of precision-made mica material – 1 mm thick and 160 mm in diameter. Non-original covers are made of a thinner material that wears out faster, does not sit exactly in the groove, and returns the customer to the same problem within months. The original Miele part withstands high temperatures combined with microwaves – a combination that requires a very specific material.

🔧 How do you replace a microwave cover in a Miele integrated oven?

Replacing the microwave cover is the simplest operation in maintaining a combination oven. No tools, about 60 seconds. Can be unplugged before work.

Step 1: Open the oven door and locate the cover – a flat round panel on the right side of the baking chamber.

Step 2: Pull the old cover straight out – it sits in a groove and is not attached with screws. If it is burned into fragments – use gloves.

Step 3: Insert the new cover 5737731 into the slot – it will sit right in place.

Step 4: Close the door, turn on the device for just 30 seconds on a glass of water – make sure there are no sparks.

⚠️ If sparking continues after replacement – ​​there may be burnt residue in the waveguide itself. In this case, contact a technician.

💡 Tip from the experts

A burnt microwave cover doesn’t happen overnight. In our experience, the number one cause of premature burning is cooking without a cover . Any splash of hot fat that directly touches the mica leaves a layer that clings to the surface. Over time, the layer builds up and burns. A simple habit that extends the life of the cover many times over: Always cover the food inside – whether with a lid, an upside-down plate, or special microwave paper. A 5-second action that saves a malfunction.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is the cover 5737731 suitable for a Miele integrated oven purchased in Israel?

Yes – models like H7440BM, H7240BM, H7840BM and many others from the list are sold in Israel and are suitable for coverage 5737731. Coverage is the same in all markets around the world for these models. Before ordering, make sure your model number is listed, and check the full E-Nr on the sticker inside.

The device is still sparking after I replaced the cover – what should I do?

If sparking continues after replacing the cover, there may be burnt residue inside the waveguide itself. A gentle cleaning of the inside with a damp cloth may resolve the issue. If not, contact an authorized Miele technician for inspection.

How long should a new cover last?

A genuine Miele cover used with a food cover every time you use it will usually last for several years. A cover exposed to direct grease every time you use it will start to wear out within months. Gently cleaning the cover once a month with a damp cloth will extend its life significantly.
