Sos123 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Hi Hoping someone can help. Our fitted dishwasher has leaked at the back into the supporting board underneath. Subsequently the dishwasher leg has sunk and we can't free the machine to repair. Any ideas how we can release the sunken leg and shift the board? Thank you.

Mr Punter Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 They sometimes have a screw at the front at the base that winds the rear leg up / down. RTM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Try pushing at the bottom and pulling at the top (at the same time) to tip it forwards and lift the leg/wheel out of the hole its made? If it will tip forward like that perhaps you can push a 3mm metal plate under the machine for the rear leg to slide run on? Lots of hands needed.

ToughButterCup Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Try a pneumatic air bag under it : available from other sellers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickfromwales Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Chock it up, and then wind the legs up as per above. Almost every single DW I’ve ever fitted has the screw at the front to raise / lower the leg/s at the the rear. RTM ( Read the manual ) or google the fitting instructions for details. ?. Replace the wooden board with cement board / other. Why the ‘support’? Timber floor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
