Can I install my dishwasher myself?
Absolutely, you can do that, but there are a few things you need to consider.
We recommend having some knowledge in plumbing to ensure that the installation is carried out correctly and professionally according to the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning's building regulations. You also need to follow the installation instructions. In case of a warranty issue, a service technician may reject the claim if they believe the dishwasher is not installed correctly.
Have you recently bought or are planning to buy a dishwasher and need help? At IKEA, we offer assembly and installation by certified craftsmen at a fixed price through our external partner Hemfixarna Nordic AB.
