Measuring for an integrated washer

Integrated is a fit type—not a size guarantee

An integrated washing machine is designed to sit behind a fitted furniture door. A freestanding machine is not automatically an alternative inside the same housing. Check the appliance’s installation drawing and your cabinet before choosing a replacement.

Your fit checklist

• Measure the clear height, width and depth of the opening in centimetres.
• Check the appliance’s full dimensions and the clearance required for hoses and connections.
• Compare furniture-door hinge positions, fixing points and door weight requirements.
• Check the plinth, feet adjustment and the path of the appliance door.
• Confirm access to the water supply, waste connection and electrical supply.
• Measure the delivery route, including doorways, turns and any steps.

Send useful photos

A photo of the opening, the existing hinge positions and the model label can help us identify questions before delivery. Do not disconnect or move an appliance unsafely just to take a picture. Exact compatibility needs checking against the replacement’s instructions.

Agree installation separately

Integrated installation is by arrangement and may involve an extra charge. Furniture-door changes, plumbing changes or other joinery are not automatically included. Agree what is being done, by whom and at what price before ordering.

Capacity still matters

Once fit is established, compare the wash capacity and the programmes you use most. Do not sacrifice a safe installation to gain a larger drum. Our washing-machine guide explains the next checks.
