Installing a Dish Washer, What Brand?

[Shovelrick]

Put cleats on the back wall to hold it in place (inside the cabinet). The dishwasher shouldn't be that deep. Cleats at the bottom should work out.

I had him make it deep to be even with the fridge front if that makes sense plus it gives more counter top space

Then you can put cleat in all the back of it and secure the cabinet to the cleats.

Thinking of a way to make a flat brace for the bottom front of the cabinet for the DW, I have 2” wide 26ga roll strap but if I screw it to the bottom it could scratch the floor tile, if I bend 90* and screw it to the inside its not strong enough to hold the cab bottoms in to stay plumb and square, I need it to also allow room for the DW, I think Ill leave the back panels alone since Im not worried about it having the finished wood tight to the wall, going to knock out the front shipping braces he made just so it wouldnt colapse getting it here but if they arent in the way Ill leave the back braces

Piece of flat aluminum stock and bend the ends up at a 90 to screw to the cabinet sides in front.

I thought about some steel but alum will never rust if theres ever a leak

Now Im wondering if just an L bracket on each side top and bottom would be enough? Id like to be able to slide the whole unit away from the wall if I need to get to a leak or for repairs etc, just but it to the wall all 1 unit?

Doesn't the dishwasher have a built-in bracket at the top for securing it to the countertop ?
Mine has two in the top front

FYI, the design of the dishwasher is the controls on top of the door are hidden under the countertop when the door is closed. This way no controls are exposed unless you open the door.

There is a red dot led that lights up and shines down on the floor on the right side to let you know it's on and running.

You need to open the door to operate the controls?

Yes. Smart as the controls can't be turned on by accident, and it leaves the front looking clean and uncluttered. When you are ready to run the dishwasher, you fill the soap, turn it on, select the cycle, and push start. Also, to get the dishes streak free when they dry, you must use rinse agent. Wally world brand is identical to jet dry and much cheaper (what we use).

So set the settings to what you want and closing the door starts it? what I'm guessing

We have a separate start button on the right side, but yours may be different. Like I always say: "When all else fails, read the instructions".
