Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Jun 05, 2021 7:22 pm Once upon a time there was a man with a broken dishwasher, who didn't know what to do. He said: 1. My dishwasher is broken and it needs to be replaced 2. I'm 99% sure I have an older Ikea Kitchen (Faktum), but I have a 600mm gap that fits a standard dishwasher. 3. The dishwasher I have obviously replaced a different machine that fit the gap. The previous machine fit perfectly and allowed for a kickboard to run across the full length of the kitchen. BUT, the kickboard didn't fit with the current machine and was taken off and placed in storage. 4. I'm looking for a new machine that I could put into that space that allows for the kickboard to once again run the full length of the kitchen. Our hero has many questions. Will he need to get an integrated unit and attempt to get a front door from Ikea that could match? (NOTE: I think I can find a door, but it seems like it's too long, which means I'd need to get it cut down to size in order for it to fit. Or are there non-integrated units that he could just slot in that the kickboard would work with? Please let us know if you've any thoughts or advice to help our hero out. Re: The saga of the DISHWASHER and the KICKBOARD 3Jun 06, 2021 12:42 pm Hi dracnath Just make sure you look at the built under or under bench dish washers and not free standing. The under bench, semi-integrated and integrated all fit the same and allow for a kickboard to run through the front. The difference is the built under already has the finished door, semi integrated uses part of a cabinet door panel but you see the controls while a fully integrated uses a full door panel and the controls are hidden. A site like appliances Online sets them out fairly clearly.

In the end I went with a Bosch SMS46GW01A. Now I have questions about installing that, but I'll start a new thread. Thanks!
