Original upper cutlery basket for Miele dishwasher Miele 10873680

The original Miele 10873680 (GOK 5800 KD) upper cutlery tray is the third float in a dishwasher – a flat tray placed above the regular upper basket, designed for cutlery, spatulas, scrapers and flat cookware. It fits Miele G 4xxx, G 5xxx (up to 2017) and G 6xxx series dishwashers – and only dishwashers that come with a third float option. Genuine OEM part with exact fit and identical quality to the original part that came from the factory.

Not every Miele dishwasher has a third level – before ordering, you must make sure that your model supports this tray. Check the E-Nr on the inner door edge and verify it with us.

A moment before ordering – safety above all! To ensure a successful repair and maintain the longevity of the device, it is mandatory to use only original parts. Non-original parts may cause damage. Now click the 'Check Model Compatibility' button at the top of the page and our system will immediately confirm that the part is suitable for you.

Why does your top cutlery tray need replacing?

The most common reason for replacement is rusting of the metal frame. Hard water, strong detergents, and years of use all take their toll on the protective coating. When the coating cracks, the metal is exposed and rust spreads quickly. Sometimes the plastic clips break, cutlery slips and falls, or the tray no longer sits straight on the retaining rails.

A genuine Miele spare part features materials selected to withstand the high temperatures and cleaning agents of your Miele dishwasher. An exact specification that is guaranteed to fit – no “almost fits” and with fewer problems in the future. For all genuine Miele spare parts, visit our website.

Model identification tip: The model sticker (E-Nr) for your Miele dishwasher is located on the edge of the door – inside and up. Open the dishwasher door and check the top edge of the frame. There you will find the model number to verify compatibility.

🔧 How do you replace the upper cutlery tray?

Replacement is simple – no tools are required and most customers finish within 5 minutes.

1. Open the dishwasher. And pull the regular upper basket forward.
2. Pull out the old cutlery tray – It rests on rails or catches at the top of the basket. Lift and remove.
3. Insert the new tray. to those latches/rails. Make sure it sits straight and stable.
4. Check stability – Rock lightly and make sure the tray does not wobble or slip.

⚠️ No need to unplug – the tray is a completely mechanical part. Critical concern: Make sure the tray is seated evenly on all latches before closing.

Risk Reversal: Replacing the cutlery tray is one of the simplest operations in a dishwasher. No disassembly, no soldering, no special tools. If the tray sits flat and stable – that’s it.

💡 Tip from the experts

💡 Tip from Daniel, our dishwasher expert: Knives and forks placed flat in the top tray come out cleaner than those placed upright in the cutlery basket. Hot water reaches every corner evenly. The secret: Don't overload – one flat layer, not a pile. Overloading prevents proper water circulation.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Does every Miele dishwasher support the upper cutlery tray?

No. The third level is only available in Miele models that are designed for this purpose from the start. This tray cannot be added to a dishwasher that does not have the appropriate support rails. Before ordering, check that your model (E-Nr) is listed in the compatibility list.

What can be put in the upper cutlery tray?

The tray is designed for flat cutlery – spoons, forks, knives, spatulas, scrapers and small flat cooking utensils. There is no room for glasses, bowls, or deep dishes. Dishes that are too long and touch the sides of the dishwasher will not fit.

Does the tray come with all the components?

Yes. The tray comes ready to use. Insert into the existing rails and you're done. No additional parts needed.
