The cardboard is not needed if a tile or hardwood floor are planned but.
Dishwasher install hardwood floor.
Most chose the flooring cheaper to replace than a 12 000 counter top.
Once the hardwoods are installed in my kitchen i will not be able to get the dishwasher out without removing some wood.
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.
Believe it or not this is a common diy.
Unfortunately that means either damage to the floor or moving forward with that new counter replacement.
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.
Position the dishwasher on a piece of cardboard in front of the recess at the cabinets with its back facing the recess.
How do i remove dishwasher when hardwood flooring has been installed.
The few square feet they saved meant that their dishwasher could never be removed for maintenance.
When they delivered my new dishwasher last week they said they could not install it because of the counter height.
Ago no problem beautiful job.
Or b cutting out their flooring.
It is not a huge deal but if i ever need to install a new dishwasher i would like to know what to do.
I had a new kitchen floor installed about 2 yrs.
