Hi All
I wanted a dishwasher and this one is supposed to be pretty good, using only two gallons of water. Fisher Paykel DD24SCX7 DishDrawer 24" Stainless
Hope this helps and maybe Heartland will see it and consider offering this as an option. See the pics with notes. When I removed the drawer and drawer slides under the oven, I did so very carefully. The cabinet frame front joints have screws accessible from the inside. There are staples and nails used as well, but with a pry bar and a little patience you can actually remove everything in your way. I removed two pine supports to the plywood shelf, under the oven, but left in place the one in the back, as it was not in my way, along with the plywood itself. I used the wood I scavenged during this process to form a long block to locate in the back of the opening for the rear of the dishwasher to rest upon. There was some romex curled up in the back that needed to be tied to the left side wall and the gas feed to the stove may need a push backward to make room for the dishwasher.
The obstacle you will need to deal with, if your unit is like mine, is a drain line running along the floor, left to right from the kitchen sink, and at the front of your opening. Remove any wood that will prevent this pipe from resting upon the floor. It is likely that, it will move downward, but maybe not as far as you would like. Time for the heat gun from Harbor freight. Careful, it gets hot fast. On my install, I need to flatten the Plastic pipe about 3/8" for 6 or 8 inches on the right side to get the clearance I wanted, so that the dishwasher would slide over the pipe. I ran water through the pipe to confirm that this procedure did not cause any leaks.
Check out the pics, spend a day, and a little money, so you can enjoy a campfire and a scotch, instead of washing dishes.
Looks like I cant post any pics as a matter of policy. If the moderator will kindly, email me, I will send the pics and the moderator can post them.
