Hi,

is it possible to fit this washing machine

into a similar

cabinet, so that a refrigerator could be placed on top and the washing machine below?

The same question applies to this cabinet

Narrow white standing cabinet with open compartments and three bottom drawers


could you fit an oven, a microwave AND a dishwasher from IKEA in the lower section?

My new kitchen is unfortunately quite narrow and the washing machine has to be in the kitchen because of the only water connection. However, if it were possible to arrange all these appliances inside two tall cabinets, that would help me a lot.

Hello,
Washing machines and dishwashers cannot be built into a cabinet; they can only be installed under the countertop.

Are you sure?
Then why does it say "built-in washing machine"?

Hello chfilm,
these are built-in appliances because you can cover them with a 60cm (24 inch) door to match the kitchen design. This way, they blend harmoniously into the overall look. Unfortunately, the appliances are about 59.4cm (23.4 inches) wide, so you can’t install them in these cabinets (which are only about 56cm (22 inch) wide inside). Also, in a built-in kitchen under the countertop, a cabinet carcass or panel must be installed on both the left and right sides of the appliances.
This is how it can look in my kitchen...

Thank you for the quick information first of all!
Robi, you did a great job!

What kind of Bosch washing machine is that with the door opening to the right? That is also an issue for me, as the one from Ikea apparently only opens to the left, at least that’s how it appears on the website... or is it possible to change that?

hello chfilm,
yes, you can vary that.
The BOSCH WIS 28441 (WIS28441) is the washing machine.
The dishwasher, refrigerator, and freezer are also Bosch, and the sink is from Blanco.

BLANCOAXIS II 6S-IF
BOSCH KIR 21 AD 40 (KIR21AD40)
BOSCH GID 18 A 65 (GID18A65)
BOSCH SBE 65 N 00 EU (SBE65N00EU)
I bought all appliances, as well as the ceiling-mounted extractor hood, from innova24 (sorry for the advertisement, but I’m very satisfied with them and the price-performance ratio was also right).
(the induction cooktop, pyrolytic oven, and built-in microwave are from IKEA)
best regards, robi
