Title: What size dishwasher to order?
Post by: MayDay on July 28, 2019, 06:58:52 PM

The second appliance this month has bit the dust. F$-@&$! Samsung.

We are replacing our dishwasher with a Bosch 100 series. It comes in both 24" w x 24" d and 23.5" w x 22.5" d.

The current dishwasher is 23.5" wide but the opening is 24.25". The counter is 25" deep.

How do I decide which size to order?

Does the 24" wide one take into account the insulation?  If so, then next look at the depth of the cabinet rather than the counter so it doesn't jut out.  If the control panel gives an added depth to the body of the dishwasher, then go with the 22.5 " one.  If the front is flush, then I would go with the bigger one.

The front is flush, luckily.

We may have to just pull the dang thing out before we order. I was hoping to avoid that.
