Miele Dishwasher Upper Cutlery Basket Right Compartment Miele 7686421

The right compartment 7686421 is one of the three compartments in the upper cutlery basket of the Miele dishwasher. It sits on the third level of the dishwasher and is designed to organize spoons, forks, knives and flat kitchen utensils. The original OEM part from Miele, part number 7686421, and fits the G1, G2, G6 and G8 series.

Basket not sitting straight? Right side broken? The Miele cutlery basket consists of three separate compartments – left, middle and right. The right compartment is at the edge of the basket and carries constant side load. Years of daily use, high heat, and pressure from the lid – all of which can cause the plastic mesh to warp, break or collapse.

When the right compartment is damaged, the entire structure of the basket is damaged – it does not sit straight, the cutlery falls between the bars, and in some cases it collides with the water arms. The solution is to replace the damaged compartment with an original part.

Before you order – safety first! To ensure a perfect result, it is important to use only genuine parts. Non-genuine parts may not fit precisely and may damage the basket structure. Click the 'Check Model Compatibility' button at the top of the page to make sure the part fits your model.

🔧 How do you replace the right cell?

A simple operation that most homeowners can do themselves in minutes. No tools. No screws.

Step 1 – Removing the basket: Pull the cutlery basket towards you until you hear a stop click, then lift it up and remove it from the dishwasher.

Step 2 – Separate the damaged compartment: The basket is divided into three compartments with snap-together connections. Press the tabs on the right compartment and slide it out.

Step 3 – Insert the new cell: Insert the new cell into the same rail, slide until you hear a locking click. Check that it is seated straight and stable.

Step 4 – Returning the basket to the dishwasher: Place the assembled basket back on the rails and check that it moves freely in both directions.

💡 Tip from Daniel, Miele expert at Plrom

“Before ordering – also check the tabs of the adjacent cells. Sometimes when the right cell breaks, the improper pressing also causes wear to the adjacent connections. It is better to check everything at once and save another order.”

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to replace just the right compartment, without buying the entire basket?

Yes. The Miele basket is divided into three separate compartments that are sold separately. Part number 7686421 is the right compartment only. There is no need to purchase the entire basket if only that part is damaged.

How do you know that the right compartment is the problem and not the rails?

Remove the basket from the dishwasher and check to see if the right-hand compartment is holding firmly to the adjacent compartments. If there is any looseness, broken tabs, or warping in the mesh, the compartment itself is the problem. If the entire basket is not moving smoothly, also check the rollers on the rails.

Is the part also suitable for the G4 and G5 series?

According to the official catalog, part number 7686421 is verified for G1, G2, G6, and G8 series only. A different part number may be required for G4 and G5 series. Check against your model sticker before ordering.
