How do i remove dishwasher when hardwood flooring has been installed.
Dishwasher install hardwood floor.
It is not a huge deal but if i ever need to install a new dishwasher i would like to know what to do.
Sadly many people install first only to discover the flooring can t be installed under the dishwasher so they install it in front of the dishwasher.
Most chose the flooring cheaper to replace than a 12 000 counter top.
Position the dishwasher on a piece of cardboard in front of the recess at the cabinets with its back facing the recess.
Once the hardwoods are installed in my kitchen i will not be able to get the dishwasher out without removing some wood.
The cardboard is not needed if a tile or hardwood floor are planned but.
Believe it or not this is a common diy.
When they delivered my new dishwasher last week they said they could not install it because of the counter height.
After something went wrong they had to choose between a cutting the counter top.
Installing hardwood floors how do i remove dishwasher in future.
I had a new kitchen floor installed about 2 yrs.
Ago no problem beautiful job.
My dishwasher wasn t cleaning so i bought new one when they came to install they said the floor had been installed up to it and they couldn t remove it.
But dishwasher installer said last week that the new floor added a hair less than 3 4 to floor height and they could not get the old dishwasher out.
The few square feet they saved meant that their dishwasher could never be removed for maintenance.
