How to measure for a dishwasher
Start with the space you have, then confirm the installation requirements for the exact model.
- Width Measure the opening at the top, middle, and bottom. Use the smallest measurement.
- Height Measure from the finished floor to the underside of the counter. Check for trim and flooring that could obstruct the path into the opening.
- Depth Check the clear space behind the cabinet face and the route for water, drain, and power connections. Allow for any projecting handle and panel.
- Door clearance Check whether the open door would meet an island, adjoining cabinet, or handle.
Compare these measurements with the manufacturer’s installation drawing. Dishwasher Scout’s size filters use appliance dimensions and exclude uncertain measurements. Use the exact model page for the source and any available opening details.
