How do I install my drawer fronts on my dishwasher?
How you attach a drawer front to your dishwasher depends on both the dishwasher model and the front you have chosen. In the assembly instructions for the VÅGLIG connecting rail, which you need to mount the front onto the dishwasher, you'll find the specific details for your specific dishwasher model.
Having multiple fronts on your dishwasher creates a seamless look and helps the appliance blend in with the rest of your cabinets, especially if you have several drawer fronts on the cabinets next to each other and want to maintain the same design and proportions.
How you attach the fronts depends on the type of dishwasher and the front configuration you have chosen for your kitchen. You’ll find detailed instructions for your specific solution in the assembly instructions for the VÅGLIG connecting rail.
Please note that the VÅGLIG connecting rail has only been tested and approved for use with IKEA appliances. We cannot guarantee functionality or fit with dishwashers from other brands.
Dishwasher from another retailer:
If you want to attach one or more drawer fronts to a dishwasher from another retailer that does not have sliding hinges, you can use the BEHJÄLPLIG mounting kit. The kit has only been tested with IKEA’s own dishwashers and not with those from other retailers.
It is also important to know that BEHJÄLPLIG is not compatible with the VÅGLIG connection rail.
You should also avoid installing BEHJÄLPLIG on dishwashers that have sliding hinges - meaning a built‑in sliding mechanism for the door - as this may otherwise cause complications and overload.
Since different manufacturers and models require specific fittings and solutions, it is important that you always check with them what applies to your particular dishwasher.
