Hello,
At the end of 2017, I bought a METOD kitchen without a dishwasher and simply installed my old Siemens under-counter dishwasher. This was done with a raised plinth so that it fits flush under the countertop at the top. I closed the gap at the bottom with a stainless steel panel.
In wise foresight, I had ordered front panels matching the kitchen for retrofitting a fully integrated dishwasher right away.
Now I have bought a new fully integrated dishwasher (SX736X19NE, that is XXL and with Vario hinge) and am faced with the problem that I cannot mount the three-part furniture front on the dishwasher.
These are Ringhult fronts (20/20/40) with BLANKET handles. The fronts are supposed to be connected with VÅGLIG, which leads to several problems:
1. VÅGLIG sits exactly where the mounting brackets for installation on the dishwasher are supposed to go.
Now, VÅGLIG could be drilled through and the mounting parts for hooking onto the dishwasher door could still be installed there.
2. VÅGLIG is so thick that the opening geometry no longer fits, and the front hits the plinth or dishwasher housing at the bottom.
3. Since the BLANKET handles are attached on the rear side of the front, VÅGLIG cannot lie flush on the back of the fronts.
(This could be remedied by cutting out a piece from each BLANKET handle.)
Are there any experience-based solutions on how to solve this issue most elegantly?
Ikea’s kitchen planning had designed and sold the three-part RINGHULT front in conjunction with 3x BLANKET handles for a Diskad dishwasher. But even with this device, problem no. 3 would still exist, as VÅGLIG and BLANKET obstruct each other.
