A ready-made solution is hardly going to exist. How good are your DIY skills? The washing machine would have to go next to the sink. The VÄRDE countertop is 65 cm deep, that should be enough. Equip it as suggested with Utby legs. Then you would have to attach a Faktum carcass to each of the two outer sides, perhaps with brackets on the countertop and mounting adhesive on the legs. You need these to be able to attach doors. Between the washing machine and dryer, also an Utby leg. This serves as a stop for the doors, maybe fitted with a small magnet. The doors would then open outward like wings. Then adjust a plinth below. That’s roughly it.

Another important point. How is your kitchen fused? It can’t handle the washing machine, dryer, dishwasher all at the same time. One fuse covers about 3500 watts; if you consider that a toaster often already has 1000W... microwave, coffee machine, kettle... add up your devices to see if this makes sense, so that you don’t end up unable to use the kitchen for two hours while doing laundry at 60° ;)

Best regards Nordkäppchen

Electrically, it should be sufficient. The apartment was completely renovated in 2008, the current tenant has a similar setup of machines... just the washing machine is not enclosed. I'm not quite clear about the base. Should the machine then stand on the base?

By base I meant the lower cladding, otherwise the doors just hang in the air. It would be easier if you screwed a Kvartal rail onto the countertop and used a sliding curtain, e.g. Ingamaj.... that is considerably cheaper and you can occasionally add a colorful accent. Best regards Nordkäppchen

Well, it doesn't look that good. I've already seen a few pictures that don't really blow me away :D

Just build the dishwasher cabinet twice as wide and install inset doors. In a wood specialty store, you should be able to get custom-cut panels in white from VÄRDE.

If you send me the instructions, I'd love that :D

I now have the possibility to buy the same dishwasher/cooking module again for little money via ebay.
How much effort is it to remove the metal plate and replace it with a wooden worktop?

In the compartment where the oven is, I would like to install a door... it should work with Faktum.
