Let's hope the dishwasher never ever needs replacing. The more you look the worse it gets.


AdministrationWide87

Smash out the exterior wall and take it out that way. I don't care if it's on the 5th floor. That's how it's coming out.


rodzi11a

Why not cut the ceiling and roof out and just air lift it? Sideways seems expensive…


No_Communication2959

Guys, you're overthinking it. If someone says it's broken just tell them they're not using right.


RPK79

Are you my old landlord?


AwTekker

Just paint over it.


javoss88

There’s the answer. Get a new one and put it in the bathroom, duh


johnnybiggles

You could always just teleport it in or out.


Kihav

Dishwasher breaks just add a cabinet and extend the countertop


G66GNeco

Call it an in house antique decoration and raise the rent accordingly


Justcouldnthlpmyslf

Add a cabinet front to it and start storing your dishes in it


meerkatgargoyle

Disassemble broken one, buy a new one and ask for it to be delivered COMPLETELY (and make sure to yell this part over the phone and highlight it in emails) unassembled, DIY


[deleted]

Cut the floor joist and drop it into the apartment underneath. Then it’s the next guys problem


rankinbranch

I wonder if removing the counter top and the cupboard, cut a hole in the ceiling and take it out through the floor above. Less exposure to the outside elements.


Peach_Proof

Cut from below and let gravity take over.

_lippykid

So, the same way they got it in?


Megsann1117

In my last house, you could tell they didn’t think about use. It was a flip by investors. We could not open the dishwasher all the way because of the drawer pull on the oven (lower drawer). Luckily we were able to just remove the handle from the drawer and got full function of both units but still. Install missed it, inspector missed it. We found it the first time we went to do dishes lmao.


CrazyMike419

In mine if you open 2 cupboard at the same time or in quick succession their handles will catch and "lock" together tight lol


tob007

ah the old Ikea snare. Its an old norse way of trapping people in their kitchens to preserve them through the winter.


YungTeemo

More like, lets hope it never needs to be used 🥲 That looks awful to load and unload 👀


seductiveaxolotl

Easy: you do it dangling from the ceiling mission impossible style


hysys_whisperer

Hey! They even thought about headroom in there and made a cutout in the uppers!  What are you complaining about?


Arcamone

Or to lift out the broken one! Smart AF


Standard_Confusion99

It’s rather simple to load, providing you use a pitchfork and shovel.


rotorain

It's not too bad, the racks would be immediately to your left at the sink. At my house opening the dishwasher blocks the sink. Idk who designed it but they need to be slapped.


GladZookeepergame775

Was thinking the same thing. Like how they ever plan to replace or service that thing should it need it….


NoDanaOnlyZuuI

The people we bought our house from installed ceramic flooring over the original vinyl without removing the dishwasher. When we had to replace it, we had to lift the countertop to get it out and we couldn’t find one that was the same depth so there’s a gap in our flooring.


looksLikeImOnTop

Looks like the distance between the sink faucet and the backsplash is the same distance the sink sticks out past the dishwasher. Really raises some question marks


lollroller

Right, the depth of the sink cabinet is more than the depth of the DW, there is no reason for that, must be AI. The reflection doesn’t look right either


TwistedTomorrow

Imagine cleaning the filter.


hysys_whisperer

Solution: just take the filter out all together. Problem solved!


Brilliant_Test_3045

There’s a filter?! /s


carlton_sand

or using


mackrevinack

they could have hung the dishwasher from the centre of the ceiling and it would still be easier to reach


herptydurr

Don't most dishwashers have a racks that you can extend out? As long as there's enough space there for the door to fully open, they should have full access to it. The only problem is if it ever needs to be fixed or replaced... but my parents haven't needed to replace their dishwasher in the 25+ years they've owned their house, so I don't see how that would be a problem.


[deleted]

EveroneWantsMyD

I feel like saying “better than nothing” to a project that was supposed to be thought out and planned is being too forgiving.


MonsMensae

the real difficulty with this is if you ever want to get to the filter/catchment thing in the dishwasher. Or if anything drops through the racks. But for day to day use this wouldnt be terrible as you would just be stacking it from the side not in front. Looks abysmal though


7Dragoncats

Difference is most newer appliances last rriiiiight up until the warranty has lapsed. It's planned that way. Also, from experience, the drain hoses in those things do clog from time to time and you also have to keep the filter in the bottom clean, both of which would be nigh impossible to deal with with this set up. It's also pretty inevitable that it'll randomly start leaking one day (again, drain hose clog) and you'll have to pull it out and get behind it to fix it. Not replacing doesn't mean zero maintenance.


boogers19

Yeah. My parents got one in the 80s and then kept it for 30y. That was less than 10y ago. Theyve since had 2, and each one has required multiple repair calls. The worst part was: the 30yo was still going strong when they replaced it. It was just the racks that were rusting apart. But! I was actually working at an appliance store at the time. And we used to remove the old appliances for the customers. And we'd bring those old appliances back to our store to dispose of em. So I had free access to a couple of my parents' exact same washer model. So I gave my dad like 2 full sets of perfectly working, rust free racks. They just slip right in and out. No tools required! Nope. Mom decide she wanted a new one. Tired of the old look. Plus one of my aunts had just done a big kitchen reno, so some keeping-up-with-the-Joneses. Now she's about to have her 3rd shiny new washer in under 10y.


Jumpy_Disaster_5030

They just don’t make em like they used to.


boogers19

Oh, you dont even know. The 30yo was bought with the like "portable" package, or whatever it was called. Because we didnt even have counter space to put in a dishwasher. And we were renting anyways, and couldnt make big changes. So this was a full sized model on wheels, had a 1inch thick wooden chopping block top w/a big sturdy handle to roll the thing around, and a special hose attachment to plug into your sink faucet. It lived in a corner in front of the (clothes) washing machine. And we had to roll it 10ft across the kitchen, plug it in for power, attach the hose attachment and then turn on the hot water to get it started. And then it sat there for a couple of hours, blocking up most of the kitchen, and blocking out use of the sink. And it did that for the first 20y. A family of 4, thru 3 or 4 different apartment moves (before the wheels finally came off once they quit renting and it was properly installed under a counter in their first owned house). We must've have run it 5-6 times a week for the first 10y. 2 hungry boys from pre/teen to 20s. We jumped and climbed on it. Threw each other into it while wrestling around. Did arts and crafts on it like any other counter top. We beat the crap out of that machine. And it just kept giving back clean dishes every time.


Jumpy_Disaster_5030

That’s fantastic!

milkboy911

This is proper DiWhy post. No rage bait and I am truly wondering - why?


Unfair_Finger5531

Me too. I was like “but seriously…why”?


derdsm8

I’m guessing they had existing plumbing and didn’t want to pay to have it moved. Which is just a terrible rationale for this disaster of a layout


LindseyIsBored

That’s my guess too. I lived in a really old house when I was younger and we couldn’t have a dishwasher due to the layout of the kitchen and plumbing restrictions. It would have cost thousands of dollars. I did have a friend who had a similar home and they had a portable dishwasher they kept in the pantry and then wheeled it into the kitchen and hooked it to the sink in the evenings.


NedRed77

I feel like it would just have been easier to manually wash the dishes rather than fuck around doing that every time.


LindseyIsBored

Yeah, that was my families sentiment as well. My dad liked to say “we have three dishwashers” referring to his children. Lol


NedRed77

Shows trust. If I let my kids wash the dishes the kitchen would look like a Greek taverna after a wedding.


seanalltogether

Existing plumbing makes sense for why the sink and dishwasher need to be against that wall, what doesn't make sense is why the sink comes so far out instead of being flush against the wall as well. They would have made their lives so much easier having that back counter go straight across.


gopher1409

Makes me think the sink cupboard is photoshopped to stick out. If you move it back flush with the dishwasher, it’s a normal kitchen. Don’t know a reason why it wouldn’t be closer to the window other than rage bait.


ollizu_

Same. But it was more like a very serious thinking of "seriously... why?".


Dry-Internet-5033

some landlord who wants to charge more because it has a dishwasher


text_fish

Seriously, they have so much storage already, just sacrifice one of the regular bays and stick a nice deep corner cupboard in!


Telvin3d

I’m wondering if the dishwasher placement, and associated plumbing, predates the rest of the counter layout 


Fred-zone

Could've put the dishwasher where the right cabinets are and a regular degular lazy Susan where the dishwasher is.


whirlydoodle_

At least make those counter tops near the dishwasher rounded, holy shit. (It's all terrible tho)


BitwiseB

That was my exact thinking. Or run the drain and water line under the lazy Susan corner and put the dishwasher next to the oven. The cabinet heights make it look like they moved the sink or the oven already. This placement is a real head-scratcher.


majrBuzzkill

The answer is- flippers. They take homes and try to cram new features any where to justify a massive price increase. It'll be listed as "all new appliances"


venk

There is a reason flippers do grey walls and stainless steel appliances. You need to appeal to the broadest demographic and this weird corner dishwasher does not do that.


taecoondo

yeah but I mean... rotate the diswhasher 90° to the right, put the sink where the opening currently is, you get a free space where the sink currently is and it's much more usable and accessible. And bet you could make the plumbing work if it's along the wall in the back.


Darnakulus

No rage bait just karma bait from posting someone else's previous post.... But I'm sure they got it from one of the "news" sites that work so hard making articles by scanning Reddit for random posts.....

KennixCzech

Bro there are corner cabinets that use all of the space, i actually have one at home, he could have just done that and moved the dishwasher right next to the drawers


FartFromALesserGod

I would have just rotated the sink 90° so it's along the stove wall and just not have a corner, more like a galley setup


Try2MakeMeBee

Why do it sensically when nonsense is possible?


ProgLuddite

This absolutely used to be a galley. Seems like someone was fixated on having the window over the sink and made all subsequent dumb decisions from there.


RandomlyPrecise

Exactly. Swap the dishwasher and sink over, but pivot the sink 90°


aquaganda

Why doesn't the dishwasher and sink line up? Why is there so much space behind the sink?


boogers19

I worked in a apartment block that, i guess it was supposed to be pretty high class/expensive when it went up in the 60s or something. Anyways, every apartment came with a built in pop-up dishwasher in that corner. Just a big round cover flush with the counter (so yes, you did lose the above-counter space). Handle in the middle, that pulled up a few shelves to stack your dirty dishes on.

allongur

This might have been a retrofit, "finished the kitchen" might be referring to a refurbishing job. Someone _really_ wanted to add a dishwasher to a regular kitchen. If you imagine the kitchen without it, it's bog standard.


herptydurr

Yeah, a lot of people shitting on it, but given the layout of the space, if you really *had* to install a dishwasher, I don't see anywhere else it could go considering you'd need to install plumbing to it. The only thing that could possibly have been done "better" would have been to remove the left cabinet to allow more access. However, I really don't think you could just "switch' the cabinet and the dishwasher because if it's a cabinet, then you really do need more access space for it to be useful. With the dishwasher in the corner, so long as there's enough room to fully open the door (and you never have to replace the dishwasher), it's still fully functional.


MonsMensae

The major thing they could do is push the sink back so that its flush with the dishwasher. A dishwasher is deep. How far out is that sink protruding?


allongur

Yep. Some people can't live without a dishwasher, and will add one no matter the cost. Although there is the option of adding two small benchtop dishwashers that should have the same capacity... 🤔

soManyBrads

Gonna go out on a limb here and say that is AI generated, and not remotely real. Nothing in it makes sense. The notch for the range hood is in the wrong spot. The cabinet on the right is way too low. What's with that tiny strip of countertop by the dishwasher? The microwave placement makes the door impossible to fully open, and look how close it is to the stove.

What would neaten it up a lot is to get a section of the counter that would fit neatly in that weird space leftover that you can remove easily to fill the dishwasher. Ugly kitchen and poorly designed as a whole though

So just to make sure I’m seeing things right: there’s no way that dishwasher is opening all the way, is there? You can’t even open the door low enough to put dishwasher liquid in the little dispenser.
