Is your dishwasher's top rack shaking, not sliding, or broken pins not holding the cups? This is the rack that returns your dishwasher to factory working condition. Click on “Check Model Compatibility” at the top of the page to verify by your appliance's E-Nr.

Why does the upper basket in a Miele dishwasher break down – and what do we do now?

The top rack goes through thousands of washes with hot water, detergent, and pressure spray. The first point to suffer is the wire coating – once it cracks, rust sets in quickly. Broken pins no longer hold cups steady, and a clogged spray arm compromises the entire wash.

In our technicians' experience, most customers who wait to replace find that the damage spreads faster than they expected. Within a month or two of seeing the first rust, the basket is already staining light-colored dishes and causing uneven washing - because the spray arm in a broken basket does not rotate freely.

The original basket 6663430 includes everything you need in one piece:

✅ Original spray arm – rotates freely and distributes water in every direction ✅ Built-in cup holder – flexible pins that hold cups and dishes securely ✅ Original handle – easy opening and closing without effort ✅ Heat-resistant coating up to 75°C – even on an intensive program ✅ Smooth glide on Miele rails – without modifications or adjustments

⚠️ Warning: A non-original basket may not fit the Miele rails, shake when opened, and cause the spray arm to not rotate properly - which spoils the washing results.

✅ Compatible models

The basket is suitable for Miele dishwashers from the following series:

Make sure it matches exactly according to the E-Nr number on the sticker on your appliance. The E-Nr sticker is usually located on the edge of the door - on the upper inside.

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

Replacing the top basket is a DIY task that takes about 5 minutes, with no tools required. You remove the old basket from the rails and slide the new one in place – as simple as it sounds.

Steps:

⚠️ Open the dishwasher door when the appliance is off and easy to access.

1. Pull the upper basket out until it stops.
2. Lift it slightly to release it from the rails – look for release tabs on the sides of the rails
3. Place the new basket on the rails and slide in until you hear a click.
4. Check that the basket slides smoothly back and forth before first use.

Tip: Before assembly, wipe the rails clean of limescale and detergent residue - the glide will be smoother than the first day.

💡 Tip from the experts

Based on numerous service visits to Miele dishwasher owners, one of the most common causes of premature rack damage is a combination of a clogged spray arm and hard water without salt. When the spray arm is not rotating, the uneven water pressure creates friction points that wear down the rack coating more quickly.

Our technicians recommend: After installing the new basket, check that the spray arm rotates freely with a light touch. If it gets stuck, it's time to descale it before running the first program.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Does the basket include the spray arm or does it need to be purchased separately?

The 6663430 basket is a complete part that includes the spray arm, handle and cup holder – all in one piece. There is no need to purchase components separately. This is one of the great advantages of replacing the complete basket: you get a completely clean start with all new and original components.

Will a non-original basket fit a Miele G1 dishwasher?

A basket that is not approved by Miele may not fit the rails exactly, shake when opened, and result in the spray arm not rotating properly. A genuine Miele part ensures an exact fit for G1 and G2 models and maintains washing results.

Where is the model sticker on a Miele dishwasher?

The E-Nr sticker for Miele dishwashers is usually located on the door edge – on the inside top or on the side. Open the door and check on the inside frame. The model number consists of alternating letters and numbers and allows for accurate compatibility verification.
