Genuine right wheel bracket for upper basket for Miele dishwasher 5889362

Right upper basket wheel bracket (part number 5889362) is an original Miele fixing assembly that includes wheels and a pivot – all the parts required for smooth movement. Fits G4, G5 and G6 series models (including G692, G4920, G5500). The original solution for dishwashers whose upper basket drags, falls to the right side, or is difficult to pull out.

The role of the part in the rackMatic mechanism: In Miele models with an adjustable upper basket (rackMatic), the height of the basket can be adjusted to 3 different positions using handles on its sides - which allows for flexible use of space and efficient loading of dishes of different sizes. The wheel bracket sits on the basket near the lifting handle and is the mechanism that allows for removal, insertion and adjustment of the height. When it wears out - the basket not only drags, but sometimes also loses stability when changing the height position.

The upper basket is dragging on the right side? That's it. The wheel assembly is the part that carries the entire weight of the basket and allows it to move smoothly on the side rails. When it wears out, every wash becomes a chore. Replacing it is simple, without a technician, with the tools you have at home. Check now that the part number matches your model.

Why does the top basket drift or fall to one side?

The wheels in the mounting bracket are the first point of wear in a dishwasher. They carry weight every day, are exposed to heat and water, and over time the steel axle wears out and the wheel loses its freedom of movement. From our experience in the field, about 75% of the cases where the upper basket drags, falls to the side, or “jumps” off the track – the cause is the wheel bracket. Because the part is not symmetrical, the right side must be replaced with a right bracket only (right = R in Miele marking).

✅ Complete assembly – wheels + axle + heat-resistant polymer bracket ✅ Genuine Miele part – exact fit without additional machining ✅ Stainless steel for the axle – resistant to heat and humidity of wash cycles ✅ Right side (R) – not interchangeable with the left side

⚠️ Please note: A non-original part may arrive with a larger tolerance and allow for “mobile” movement of the basket, which adds load to the edges and accelerates wear on other parts.

🔧 How do you replace the wheel bearing?

Difficulty level: Easy DIY. Time: About 15 minutes. Tools: None required.

1. Open the dishwasher door and pull the upper basket out completely.
2. Tilt the basket slightly downwards on the right side – the bracket is removed with a light push.
3. Replacing the old assembly: Loosen the plastic retainer and pull the wheels off the track.
4. Insert the new bracket (make sure the wheels are “learned” on the track at two points).
5. Put the basket back in, check that it moves freely from end to end.

💡 Tip from the experts

Before replacing, also check the rails. In our experience during service visits, about 20% of customers who replaced a wheel bracket found that the rail itself was slightly sunken. If after replacing the basket, the rack still “wobbles” – it is worth checking the rail’s attachment to the dishwasher wall.

Another tip: Always replace the complete assembly (wheels + axle together) and not just the wheels separately. A worn axle creates friction that wears the new wheel much faster.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to replace just the wheels and not the entire assembly?

It is technically possible to replace individual wheels, but it is not recommended. The axle and wheel wear together – a worn axle will create increased friction on a new wheel and wear it out within a few months. The complete assembly 5889362 includes both components together and ensures full durability.

How do you know that the problem is in the wheel bracket and not the rail?

Pull the basket completely out of the dishwasher and check the bracket by hand. If the wheel is stiff, rattling, or does not turn freely , the bracket is the problem. If the wheel is working smoothly but the basket is still wobbling, check the rail itself for attachment to the dishwasher body.

Does this part also fit the G1, G2, G3 series?

Part 5889362 has been validated for G4, G5 and G6 series. For G1, G2, G3 series a different part number may be required – check the E-Nr on the model sticker on the inner door lip of your dishwasher.
