IKEA METOD kitchen with Siemens dishwasher

Hello,

unfortunately, I now have to also bring up this tedious topic about the demand for a dishwasher from a different manufacturer, since I can't find any clear statements or there is confusion about this topic on the internet.

We want to buy a METOD kitchen with the GRYTNÄS front plus an 8cm plinth.
The dishwasher should be placed between the sink cabinet and the stove.

We would like to buy a dishwasher. Now the question is, the dimensions should actually fit well, I tried to compare the dimensions with the Ikea dishwasher and there are no big differences.
However, I read in another thread that you should take an XXL dishwasher. Why is that? Can’t we use the ones mentioned above just as well?

And what would I need to install the Grytnas dishwasher front on the Siemens dishwasher?

Best regards

I have thought about it all carefully again and looked at it, and now I know where the problem with a NON XXL dishwasher lies. The countertop will start at 88cm, right? And the dishwasher from Siemens can be adjusted up to a maximum height of 87.5cm, so I would be missing 0.5cm to the countertop.

Now my question is, could I put a rubber mat with a thickness of 1.0cm under the dishwasher, like the ones often placed under washing machines? Or would this then be noticeable under the dishwasher in the end and not be hidden by the baseboard?

Hello Dexian,

the dishwasher you mentioned does not fit.
If you take a closer look at the dimensions, you will see, for example, that the plinth height must be at least 9 cm. At Ikea, the plinth is 8 cm. Furthermore, the front of 80 cm must fit. The front of the dishwasher may be max. 725 mm.

And what would I need to install the Grytnas dishwasher front on the Siemens dishwasher?

If you should buy the Siemens SX778D01TE and take the one-piece Grytnas front, you don't need anything else

I know the problem, but we only noticed it when the kitchen was almost finished. We raised the dishwasher by almost 4 cm using a countertop section, which fits fine. BUT since the lower edge of the door does not reach all the way down, we had to do some trickery. The Bodbyn front (60*60) is glued on. And above the Ikea plinth, basically behind part of the overhanging front, a board in the color of the fronts (gray) is attached (it would certainly also be possible in the cabinet color (white)). Inexpensive, simple, and looks as if it was intended that way

Edit: Our dishwasher is semi-integrated, i.e. you would need "more" front, so rather 80*60 or 2*40*60, etc.

In my opinion, Ikea offers sliding rails, also for mounting non-Ikea dishwashers. As a last resort

Hello Eric, do you have a picture of your installation for us?

That would be Behjälplig, which is only being sold off in remnants.
