Dishwasher fronts

Hej,

I suspect the kitchen would have to be built at a height of 890mm. Then you would get a 1cm gap at the baseboard, but you probably wouldn’t see it as long as you’re not crawling on the floor. Or am I mistaken?

Best regards

I also hardly believe that one would see such a small gap at the base without crawling underneath. However, if it bothers someone a lot or if one has an even larger gap, one could also attach this self-adhesive strip that Ikea actually provides for the side covering of a tall cabinet to the wall.

It would be nice to know now if Fornax has increased the base height to 9 cm.

I will summarize the findings for standard-sized dishwashers here:

As can be seen in the installation dimension sketch (in my photo album), the maximum door height for a standard dishwasher like the Bosch SMV68M80EU is, for example, 725mm.
According to the sketch, the minimum distance from the door to the floor must be 90mm. Calculating from these 90mm to the 880mm cabinet height results in a difference of 790mm – so that would be the maximum length a door may have.

Now the protrusion at the bottom of the door comes into play, which would get wedged with the dishwasher. There is already the "Stefan method" for that (lower the dishwasher as far as possible and let the door protrude at the top, fill the empty space above to stabilize the dishwasher). The central question, however, would be whether the door would still protrude too far at the bottom (which essentially depends on how deep the recessed plinth of the dishwasher is).
According to the sketch, the dishwasher is at least 815mm high, the smallest door should be 665mm high (flap height), which brings me to a calculated dishwasher plinth height of 160mm. That means, with the max allowed door height of 725mm, this door would protrude 70mm below the flap edge (counter calculation fits: 815mm minus 725mm = 90mm = minimum allowed distance from floor to bottom edge of the door).
With a cabinet height of 880mm and a door height of 800mm, the lower door edge would be 80mm above the floor – 10mm too little, then.

But it is about compensating these 10mm – there must be another possibility than raising the entire kitchen!

Maybe someone with such or a similar BSH dishwasher at home can measure how large the distance between the plinth front and the bottom edge of the flap (door of the dishwasher, not the Ikea front) is when the door is open – that would show us how much leeway there still is!

With the hinge variant, you can theoretically install any dishwasher - if you prop it up high enough...

Hello,

for my company, I was chosen as the person responsible for the kitchen expansion and I am completely at a loss.

We also want to cover the Bosch refrigerator SMV68M90EU with a 60x80 cm Grevsta front. It should be pushed under a countertop at a height of 88 cm between two base cabinets.

At IKEA, I was told that attaching the 60x80 cm front using Behjälplig was possible. At Bosch, I was told that this is absolutely not possible, as the dishwasher could no longer be opened then. Here in the forum, I have already read a simple yes to this question, but I wonder how that works? How is it ensured that the dishwasher door can be opened? I think I still haven’t understood the BEHJÄLPLIG system.

“Stefan’s method” should still work in case of doubt, right?

Can you please help me? I’m totally panicked that in the end everything won’t fit together or will fit but then won’t open, etc., and I really can’t afford to make a mistake here.

Oh yes, and I would like to avoid a hinge variant....

I would be very grateful for your help.

Many thanks and best regards, Lisa
