Hello everyone,

the annoying issue of dishwasher fronts has also driven me to this forum. Our situation is as follows:

- existing and newly purchased dishwasher for this kitchen: Bosch SMV65N40EU (if I had known about the problem with the fronts earlier, it would probably have been a different device - but exchange is now difficult because I have already unpacked and fitted it)
- installation is to be done on a continuous kitchen run with continuously divided drawer fronts (2 times 40cm high drawers; 60 and 80 cm wide) in Ringhult high gloss white

Now with the Bosch device it is also the case that it cannot handle an 80cm high front if it is braced against the worktop above. I now have to consider alternatives.

Here is what I currently have in mind:
- purchase of a single-piece front in 60 by 70 cm from the Faktum range (in our rental apartment we currently have a kitchen with Faktum furniture); advantage: installation should be trouble-free, durability also very high due to direct mounting on the dishwasher; disadvantage: the continuous look of the kitchen run is destroyed by the missing drawer division, 10 cm are missing in height at the bottom and are another visual minus point

- installation with the help of Behjälplig; but unfortunately not possible as it has disappeared from the range. Are there any manufacturers that offer a similar fastening system?

- installation of the 80cm front using the "Stefan method", i.e. lowering the dishwasher and front overhang at the top, including bracing with the help of wooden slats and an inner front between worktop and dishwasher. However, I first have to measure whether this would even work... I will do this later when I am on site.

From the thread I gathered that Ikea is not very helpful with problem advice in this case - do you think it's worth calling the Bosch hotline?

As much as I have so far been pleased about the additional 10 cm storage space of the Metod kitchens, I am now very annoyed by this incompatibility with dishwashers from other manufacturers!!

Here is a picture of the current situation (worktop is still to come, today is measuring day):

Bosch will at most refer you to the expensive folding hinge, which also does not seem quite suitable based on the measurements. Instead of leaving 10 cm free, I would rather use the folding solution with ERSÄTTARE.

Ask the dealer if an exchange is still possible.

Thank you for the tip!

A solution suddenly came up today after all: I was actually at IKEA for something else and then stood in the self-service hall in front of a shelf – on eye level there was a stack of 10 [Behjälplig]...

Of course, I didn’t hesitate long and took one. Now the question for me is whether it really makes sense to install it, given all the problems that apparently often come with it.

For everyone else who still needs a [BEHJÄLPLIG]: Off to IKEA Braunschweig! Shelf 22, compartment 12.

I think it can't hurt to buy a second [Behjälplig] as a backup, in case something breaks. The cost of 20 euros is certainly bearable. Best regards, Section Chief

Hello dear ones,

I hope you can help me. I have already read the previous posts but unfortunately did not find a suitable answer for my "problem." We have an IKEA Faktum Abstrakt high gloss white (since around 2013). Our dishwasher has always been freestanding with a total height of about 82 cm, the door of course opened normally (not swinging downward?). This one is now broken and we would like to integrate a Beko DIN 6834 FX30 (fully integrated), but now we have a problem with the front. Yesterday we were at Ikea in Eching and the service in the kitchen department could not help us any further if you don’t want to buy a dishwasher from IKEA. Unfortunately, I am not very skilled technically and don’t really know how to solve the problem and attach the front. With IKEA dishwashers, the front is apparently folded downward with such rails. If I were to first ask the manufacturer Beko whether this is even possible, which front could we then use for the dishwasher? The Ringhult 60x80 cm high gloss white? Can I attach the Ringhult front to any dishwasher and if so, do I need any hinges for it?

Please don’t be mad if I don’t have much knowledge, I hope you can help me.

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards
Sabine

There is the factum repurchase service: simply buy a suitable front in 60x70 and attach it directly to the fully integrated Beko appliance, without any sliding hinges and as specified by the manufacturer in the assembly instructions.

It certainly doesn’t look great when you combine the 70cm factum fronts with an 80cm metod front.
