Hi,

We're in the final days of having our new house built with the first
walk through scheduled for later this week, but one thing I wasn't
sure about is the dishwasher and laminate flooring. *The dishwasher
sits on the concrete and the laminate flooring in the kitchen runs
right up to the dishwasher -- dishwasher was installed before
flooring. *There's no gap between the top of the dishwasher and the
bottom of the counter top, so my worry is that the dishwasher won't be
able to be removed without pulling up the counter top or flooring.

In an email to the builder he said it would come out, which I'll have
him demo when we do the walk through, but I wanted to do some research
before then as well. *I know it's not their first rodeo so I assume
I'm just not seeing the 'trick' to getting it out, but with the
dishwasher being so snug in there I'm just not seeing how to get it
out when it needs to be replaced or repaired.

Thanks for any advise.

Most dishwashers have adjustable feet near the front. When these get
raised the DW should come out with no problem.

They look tight when all of the trim is installed but the piece at the
bottom is adjustable to match the finished floor height. The top near
the counter is higher than the body of the DW so once that clears the
bottom of the counter you'll have plenty of clearance.

This picture shows a side view where you can see that they are smaller
on the inside.
