I’m just about to order a washing machine and dishwasher for my new (soon to be built) Ikea kitchen.
The door covers will be 70cm high, the plinth will be 16cm making a total of 86cm height onto which the worktop will be placed.
I’ve found a dishwasher with a height of 82cm – however, in the spec it says it requires an aperture of 89cm height – does anyone know why this would be?
I’ve checked the appliances you can get at Ikea and the dishwasher dimensions are exactly the same as the one I was planning to buy, so this has confused me somewhat. 😕
They should adjust on the feet a fair bit to accommodate different worktop heights, you’ll probably find that’s the maximum height.
Just watch the dishwasher as many have plastic feet which, when out a bit, have a tendency to snap. There’s more than a few out there resting on a bit of old 2″x2″. :rolls:

Re: Integrated appliance apertures
Thanks Kwatt.
I just wasn’t sure if there was any reason why there would need to be an extra few centimetres above the level of the dishwasher.
I might phone them up before I order just to make sure of the min/max height so I don’t get lumbered with something that doesn’t fit!
Many thanks.
