If the top basket in your Smeg dishwasher keeps rolling off the end of its rails, a missing end cap is the usual cause. This OEM rail end cap replaces Smeg 768610309, which is also listed under 768610393. It covers a long list of Smeg models across the DWA, DWAU, SA, PL and ST ranges, from the DWAI149X and DWAU157XT to the SA8605X and ST693. Check your model on the label at the edge of the door.

What the upper basket end cap does

The upper basket in a Smeg dishwasher runs on a pair of rails, and small end caps fit onto the rail ends to stop the basket's wheels running off when you pull it out. They're easy to knock off when the basket is yanked out hard, and they turn brittle after years of heat and detergent. With a cap missing or broken, the basket can tip forward, drop off the rail or jam when you push it back in. A new cap restores a safe stop at the end of the travel.

Fitting a rail end cap

Switch the dishwasher off, then pull the upper basket out to the end of its travel and lift it clear if needed. Remove any broken pieces of the old cap from the rail end, then push or clip the new cap into place until it sits firmly. Refit the basket and slide it in and out a few times to check it stops cleanly. Check the cap on the other rail while you're there.
