The original feed tube 05797290 transfers water from the pump to the middle spray arm (spray arm) under the upper basket in the dishwasher. The part is made of durable plastic, dimensions 48×98×270 mm. It fits Miele G601 to G858 series - models without upper cutlery tray (Non SC). This is a genuine Miele OEM part, part number 05797290.

Are the dishes in the upper basket not coming out clean? Is the middle sprayer not rotating? The most common cause is the feed tube – cracked, broken, or disconnected. Once the tube fails, water doesn’t reach the middle sprayer at all. Result: an upper basket that doesn’t clean properly.

Just before ordering – safety above all! It is mandatory to use only original parts. Non-original parts may cause damage. Click the 'Check Model Compatibility' button at the top of the page – the system will immediately confirm that the part is suitable for your model.

Why is the middle sprinkler not functioning?

The middle spray arm is completely dependent on the feed tube. The tube runs from the pump along the back of the dishwasher, ending at a connection to the spray arm below the top rack. When it cracks—usually from wear and tear, a dropped dish, or careless removal—the water pressure drops. The middle spray arm stops rotating, and the top rack doesn’t clean.

Miele dishwashers G601-G858 series are equipped with two baskets and three spray arms: lower, middle and upper. The middle spray arm sits between the two baskets and is completely suspended from the 05797290 hose. Therefore, hose failure only affects the upper compartment – ​​not the lower one.

It is important to locate the model number before ordering. The sticker is located on the inside lip of the dishwasher door, on the top or side.

💡 Tip from the experts

In the experience of our Miele service technicians, the hose is most often damaged due to careless removal of the upper basket. Pulling with excessive force damages the hose's connection points. Each time you remove a basket - lift it slightly and pull it straight out. A simple operation that saves repair.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn't only the top basket get cleaned?

When the middle sprinkler fails, the lower basket continues to receive water from the lower sprinkler. Therefore, the lower one is clean and the upper one is dirty. This is the classic sign of a failure in the feed tube 05797290 – or in the middle sprinkler itself.

Can I replace the pipe myself?

It is possible, but it is a moderately difficult DIY. The pipe is connected at several points along the back of the wall, and each one must be loosened individually with a flat screwdriver. Anyone familiar with plastic work and clip mechanisms will be fine. Anyone who is unsure is better off calling a technician.

Is 05797290 compatible with Miele models with a top cutlery tray?

No. The part is for models without a top cutlery tray (Non SC). SC models use a different feed tube. Check the model number on the door sticker – if it includes “SC” – it is a different model.
