How to choose the correct installation location

If you want to save space and build a dishwasher under the countertop, measure the height of the MMP and the distance from the floor to the table top.

It happens that the height of the dishwasher is equal to the kitchen work surface. Then the only way out is to remove the top of the dishwasher. Then the body will be 2-3 cm below, and you can fit it in the intended place.

Does the panel in the dishwashers Bosch, Siemens, Whirlpool, how to do it? In most cases, the fastening elements are at the rear wall. If you needed to repair the model, then you need to disconnect all communications and deploy it by the reverse side.

  • Disconnect the dishwasher from the mains.
  • Close the inlet valve.
  • Disconnect the filler hose from the equipment.
  • Unclip the yoke and disconnect the drain hose from the siphon (sewer).

Turn the device back to itself. In Bosch, Siemens, Whirlpool the panel is fastened with latches, which are located in the upper part of the case. Press them with both hands. If you can not press hard, use a screwdriver, but do not damage the plastic parts.

  • Loosen the five screws around the perimeter.
  • Remove the damper.

Cover the exposed part with insulating material to avoid electric shock and moisture ingress.

Waterproof coating is important
