Default Possible Dishwasher Problem with Hardwood Floor

I meant to add that when you encounter one of these that is trapped
the fastest solution is to remove the screws holding the countertop.
They can be found inside the cabinets on either side. Just take out
the front ones and loosen the back ones. You do have to do this the
entire length of the countertop in most cases. Then tilt the front of
the countertop up about a inch or so and hold it there wit a few small
scraps of wood on either side of the dw.


That works in a properly built kitchen. Last 10-15 years, common
practice is to glue to counter to top of base cabinets with construction
adhesive and call it good. Major PITA to crawl inside the base cabinets,
and screw up into the counter, especially if there is no young limber
kid on the crew.
