Frequently asked questions

  • Can I replace a dishwasher myself?

      Yes, you can replace a Freestanding dishwasher yourself. This is very straight forward and easy to do.
      However, if you are looking to fit a Semi or fully integrated model, then we would advise you look to organise installation if you do not have the advanced plumbing or electrical skills yourself.

  • What is Dishwasher rinse aid and Salt?

      These are two important additives that help your dishwasher clean and dry your dishes effectively.
      Dishwasher salt helps to remove minerals like calcium and magnesium, so your detergent can work more effectively.
      Rinse aid helps to prevent water spots and streaks from forming on your dishes as well as helping your dishes to dry more quickly.

  • Do all Dishwasher need plumbing?

      No, not all dishwashers need plumbing.
      Plumbed-in dishwashers are the most common type of dishwasher. They require a water supply and a drain connection. The water supply is typically connected to the cold-water line under the sink, and the drain connection is typically connected to the garbage disposal or the sink drain.
      If you are looking to buy a Dishwashers with no plumbing required then some Compact and Table Top Dishwashers do not require plumbing. As they are typically smaller they have a reservoir that holds the water for the wash cycle.

  • Can a freestanding dishwasher be built-in?

      Yes, some freestanding dishwasher can be built-in/integrated. But it is important to note that not all freestanding dishwashers can be built-in. Some freestanding dishwashers have a top that cannot be removed, which means that they cannot be built-in.

  • Do Dishwashers need a hot water connection?

      No, most dishwashers do not need a hot water connection. They can be connected to a cold-water line and the appliance will heat the water itself. However, some dishwashers do have a hot water connection, and this can improve the cleaning performance of the dishwasher.

  • what doors fit integrated dishwashers?

      Integrated dishwashers are designed to fit seamlessly into your kitchen cabinets, so the doors that fit them are also designed to match your other cupboard doors. The most common type of door for an integrated dishwasher is a flat panel door. These doors are made of a single piece of material, such as wood or MDF, and they are finished to match.
      No matter what type of door you choose, it is important to make sure that it is the correct size, the two standard widths are: 60cm and 45cm.
