1 Star is too generous Anonymous reviewerThis took hours to fit and lasted 2 weeks before it broke. We had the previous sliding system before and that lasted for years. What am I to do? Waste another £40 to try and complete my kitchen? Is IKEA going to resolve this terrible design?
AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHAnonymous reviewerTHIS IS THE WORST MOST FRUSTRATING THING EVER!!!!! POOR QUALITY PLASTIC RUBBISH DESIGNED TO MAKE YOU CRAZY!!!! BREAKS IN LESS THAN 2 MINUTES!
Not fit for purposeAnonymous reviewerWe installed an ikea kitchen 4 years ago and have been incredibly happy with all of it except for this. This is the second time it’s broken in 2 years- it’s not fit for purpose and customer service are no help whatsoever.
It took two carpenters 3 hours to fit it.Anonymous reviewerIf I hadn’t known not buying IKEA’s own brand dishwasher, would have cause so much extra work for the kitchen fitters. Which worked out costly when you paying workmen by the day ! They praised everything else from Ikea saying they’ve thought about everything, apart for the s frame . About 2 weeks after the kitchen was fitted, this door has dropped and I’ve had to ask the kitchen fitters to return !
Not fit for purposeAnonymous reviewerMine broke after just 4 months. Door was fitted using sliding hinge and had worked fine until last weekend when emptying the dishwasher the door detached from the bottom and was left hanging at the top. On closer inspection the bottom clips had snapped. They are incredibly thin plastic and I envisage this being a recurring problem. Currently waiting for Ikea to get back to me. Not happy :(
Broken every 12 monthsAnonymous reviewerPlastic catches have broken twice, pretty much exactly every 12 months- the plastic just can’t take the weight of some of the Ikea doors/drawers
This part broke within a week of installationAnonymous reviewerThis part broke within a week of installation. I have now read other reviews and it seems it is an ongoing issue that IKEA needs to resolve
Broke after 1 yearAnonymous reviewerPlastic sliding hinges broke after 1 year of normal use. Feels like its been designed by a toddler.
Don't buy Anonymous reviewerIf i could give minus stars, I would give minus 5 stars. This is ridiculously cheap material and just after 5 use, it useless cheap plastic suspension part broke. I had to invest in a whole new kit as the 1 year guarantee had just expired. I don't know why they keep selling this and not trying to upgrade the model after so many bad reviews. I even asked if they had an alternative option a bit more sturdy. Unfortunately this is the only one.
Badly designed sliding mechanism Anonymous reviewerI’ve had three integrated dishwashers from Ikea and this new door system is no good for me Hard to get set up and continually catches door and bottom clip springs off
Horrible...Anonymous reviewerTo start off my review of the BEHJÄLPLIG sliding hinge assembly I served a mechanical craft doorapprenticeship and have a total of 35 years working on the repair of mechanical equipment.
I fallowed the first steps of measuring, using the jig for the two pilot holes, using the drill for the two bar holders and fitting of the bar for a slimline dishwasher.
I tried using the over sized flat pan head screw with rectangular nut, but this threw the long black flat rectangular plate out off position, overlapping on to the outside of the door, shown on the drawing with a X. I found a workaround by using a 5 mm screw with a large flat head out of B&Q, this allowed me to anchor the black part to dishwasher door rather than relying on the 4 screws provided for attaching the black part to the door. I had to drill a pilot hole after removing 4 screws on the inner face of dishwasher door as the black part refuses to accept the screw.
Look for a better vario sliding hinge elsewhere
Just doesn’t workAnonymous reviewerBought a new integrated dishwasher only to find that every time we try to fit the sliding mechanism the plastic clips either break or spring off. Have a dishwasher now with no front on it which isn’t a good look in a two year old kitchen. We don’t really want to have to buy another new dishwasher which must then come from Ikea! I’m guessing this is a deliberate hack by Ikea to force you to buy one of their dishwashers which unfortunately all have low fuel efficiency ratings.
Sadly - Plastic clips keep breakingAnonymous reviewerLike others... This is tricky to fit... and is made more difficult if your existing dishwasher height is not within the exact range this item is designed for. (As its a hinge, the alignment and angles are critical!).
After 2 months, both the plastic retaining clips broke. In fairness to IKEA, they have sent a replacement 'free'.... I might look to glue the clips to the mechanism in an attempt to improve the strength and reduce the reliance on a 5mm plastic retaining lug. (This might void the guarantee, but if it resolve the problem, then there's no issue.)
Advice to buyers.... be aware of this problem and be very careful and accurate when fitting. Consider investing in an IKEA dishwasher designed for the low kickboard (Eeek! But only solution to avoid needing this part)
Advice to IKEA - Make these clips in metal or change the design so that it is as good as all your other products!
Terrible design flawAnonymous reviewerI bought my kitchen from you in 2022 and since then iv not been able to use my integrated hotpoint dishwasher do to a design fault with the dishwasher fittings that we bought from you. The bar keeps popping out of the clips. Like many others have stated. I love my kitchen except this :( issue which iv still not been able to resolve.
Terrible productAnonymous reviewerWe have had an ikea kitchen fitted and within less than a year one of the clips continually popped off. We have been into ikea on 2 separate occasions to get spare parts and was told by one worker that they didn't do those sorts and another worker refused to help without the product code. We are now in a situation where both clips have popped off and we no longer have a door attached to the dishwasher. It was fitted by an ikea approved fitter and less than 2 years in we now don't have a functioning door. Very disappointed.
This is an awful product. Anonymous reviewerThe idea of a sliding door system is great but IKEA have plainly not lived up to their usual standards witty this one. Flimsy. Has broken already. And damaged the door when it did. Not at all happy with it.
Do not buy! Awful Anonymous reviewerLike the rest of the reviews here, it’s not fit for purpose, it’s cheap, awful to fit and when fitted not sturdy.
I have for kitchens before and ikea is by far the worst. Spend more and get DIYKitchens or Howdens.
Poorly designed. Plastic cliips keep failing.Anonymous reviewerSimilar experience to the above customers. Got through two of these. The first time the pastic clips break so the door comes off the bottom bar. Second time the laminate on the units has worn away causing the door to rub and again the plastic clips have snapped. Had the clips been made of metal we would have a door on our dishwasher. Expensive and not fit for purpose.
doesn't work, poor qualityAnonymous reviewerWe have fitted this as per instructions and the door keep on coming off and now the brackets on which the door slides has been broken!! Useless. I can't even find these as spares now. What help can IKEA provide?
Is this a joke? Anonymous reviewerI've been trying to get this on for over 3 hours,
1st of all i fitted it all (took about an hour because of the below tracks) and it stuck out 2cm as the metal plate is not suitable for having end panels that stick out level with the main unit doors.
2nd you have to be so on the 19mm when attaching the runners to the door and yet they still won't just slide into the dishwasher tracks.
3rd the tracks you "slide" the door onto are the worst part, get one (no easy task) in and the other moves like a bag of frogs until you find the 1st track popping out again (and repeat, over, over and over again).
The tracks now look worn as they are not anything more then some cheap plastic and if I'm lucky enough to line them up one will just pop out..
The team/person that designed this need to stop drinking at work or find other work.
Shocking - do better IKEA.
