    Can any one tell me how the hell I am to get the rear centre leg any further up than it is aready as there are quarry tiles stopping the dishwasher being pulled right out. Oh! how I hate fitted kitchens! what do you think?

    Yes Bill.

    On the centre of the inner part of the plinth there should be a bar poking through that you turn to wind the back leg up and down. Quite often though they are missing and pulled out by the installer.

    Hope that helps.

    Dave.

    Go down the kitchen fitters route.
    An old half brick. followed by a broken tile to wedge it up, oh and dont forget the two bits of water logged chipboard that move back in the cabinet when you reinstall it.
    Best one I ever went to was a Bosch top ‘o’ the range dishwasher in a marble worktop kitchen.
    No front screws that normally hold to the worksurface; this one was at full stretch on the legs butting up to the marble. Loosened off the two front legs and the thing just full backward behind the unit 😕 . The rear leg had been removed and the dishwasher was just wedged in at the front.Trouble was the cabinet had hidden gaps at the sides so the dishwasher lodged itself behind these :eeek:
    Took ages to get it out and reinstall it, customer was fuming as this was no cheap kitchen.

    Get the customer to have the quarry tiles ripped up!
