IKEA Fyndig hinge with HJÄLPSAM and BEHJÄLPLIG does not fit

Hello everyone,

since yesterday we have been having a massive problem with installing the dishwasher with the associated parts. Because Behjälplig was not in stock, we had to install the kitchen without it and just placed the dishwasher there. Now we have some problems that we are not quite sure how to handle.

The description is important. I attached the feet of the bracket to the cabinets at position A according to the diagram (pages 7-10). So far so good. Then we attached the Ikea metal-look panel to the dishwasher door, also according to the instructions, starting with the hole above position A (page 30). Afterwards, I tried to hang the front and was quite disappointed. At first, the lower end could not be pushed into the plastic bracket (from page 10) because it was way too high. So in a panic I simply shifted the bracket on the panel down by 2 holes, basically to position C (page 30). Now you can somewhat hang the panel, but there is a large gap (about 2cm) visible at the top between the panel and the countertop. Also, the door can no longer be used properly since everything creaks and pulls. That doesn’t sound or feel right. Also annoying: the 13mm clearance (page 21) is never enough to fit the metal panel flush with the other base cabinets. Could it be that the instructions don’t even match the FYNDIG kitchen with the metal-look panel? What can be done?

In addition, the two base cabinets between which the dishwasher is installed seem to be slightly misaligned, so the two brackets do not line up properly, so I still have to see how to correct that.

Hello, the instructions of course do not fit FYNDIG. FYNDIG is 86 cm high with the base, Metod 88 cm. The size of the doors is also different. A front from METOD is taller than a FYNDIG door. Probably a 70 cm front from Faktum would fit better. The only option is to measure everything, possibly take a FAKTUM front and install it without BEJHÄLPLIG, or figure out the functionality with a METOD front and calculate the necessary dimensions.

That's what I feared. However, we were told that everything would fit and we wouldn't have to cut the front separately. That wouldn't work anyway because there's a steel plate on it.
Oh boy, I need to take another look at it tonight and will get back to you then

One more edit: Where can I find the installation manual without [Behälpig]?!

The assembly instructions should be found with the dishwasher.

First measure everything. I do not know the base and door dimensions of FYNDIG, I only estimate from the pictures that the base is more than 10 cm.

Just found it. That seems easier, even though I don't know how to solve the problem...

In my opinion, this is all very annoying. You double-check three times to make sure everything is really correct, and it still doesn't work.

By the way, this is the front we have
