I have a Bernstein02-800473 built in dishwasher that has sprung a leak when pumping out the waste water.
I want to pull the dishwasher out to check where the leak is. The water seems to be coming from the back of the machine.
I have taken out two screws that screw into the countertop, but the dishwasher will not budge. I haven’t tried ‘brute strength’ yet as I fear there are more screws hidden somewhere. Is that right or am I lacking the strength to pull it out?
Thanks in advance.Re: Can’t pull built in dishwasher out.
You may not be able to remove the unit without checking the feet and wether thay are above floor level.

Re: Can’t pull built in dishwasher out.
Those Chinese made dishwashers do hold certain oriental magic it has to be said.:rolls:
However, brute force (or Bruce Lee) tactics should be avoided at all costs. Simply apply the ancient logic Confucious say…… “If it not pull out easy, take close look at what might be stopping it? Sclews maybe? Blackets? Velly tight cupboard panels either side? Foots stuck in floor maybe?” ….tlead gently chopstick….OK?
Re: Can’t pull built in dishwasher out.
Many thanks for your quick and helpful replies.
The unit has been placed on top of what looks like the offcuts from where the sink was fitted, into the countertop. Wonderful piece of craft, I dont think! I thought it should have been housed in a purpose built cabinet!
I have been able to pull out the kick board to get more access and see where the leak was coming from.
There is about 5mm gap on the top and left hand side. There is more of a gap on the right, where there is a facia board covering the gap.I am getting to the point where I will go all Kung Foo and smash it to bits.
Although it might be auspicious to wait for the Chinese new year. 😆
