Washing machine size

I think Facebook was having a glitch. I couldn’t see it and kept being invited to log in with the wrong ID. Working now.

Ebac are.

Buy direct from them.

I don't think you realise that even the worst sheet mntal press is repeatable to less than a mm.

Wow, a 7-year warranty and a 28-minute quick programme!

(It's too bad they don't make combined washer-dryers.)

The range of toasters is especially bad if you want to do bagels or pittas.

Yeah, given that they make dehumidifiers, I'm surprised they don't sell washer-dryers, all they seem to offer is some sort of clothes drying tent to use in the same room as a dehumidifier.

The new machine was delivered today, and measures 597 wide, so far as I could measure. I applied silicone lubricating spray to the units either side, braced myself against the opposite units, and eased it in with my feet.

Now running the initial clean.

Bosch WAU28P89GB. It was a Which Best Buy & Eco Buy, and is pretty well reviewed. I think it may now be discontinued, but is seems like it should do the business.

If it last as long as the NEFF it is replacing, I doubt if I will be manhandling the replacement it myself. ;-)

When I put the old one on my lawn for disposal, it was away within ten minutes.

I think you would be using the plane in the wrong place....

If you unscrewed the side, then used the plane to reduce the width of the shelf, base, and top of the unit before replacing the side you would have a near invisible change. You may need to tweak the door position on the hinges to lose the extra few mm of door width.

Yup, that would be much easier :-)

As I posted on 24/11/23, the job is now done, thankfully without needing drastic adjustments, just lubrication and gentle force.

My units are not constructed in a way that would enable me to remove a side panel in situ, and the drawer appears to have formed metal back and sides.

If I could easily have taken the unit out, I would have been able to take the much simpler step of reducing the width of the filler strip to its right

Thanks to all for comments.
