I've recently replaced an old free-standing dishwasher with a new semi-integrated model and I have a slight problem because the combination of the socket and plug (which are positioned behind the dishwasher) are causing the dishwasher to stand proud of the adjacent cupboard by about 1cm. Of course, because it's a semi-integrated dishwasher and has a front panel to match the other cupboards, it needs to sit flush. I'm trying to work out what options I might have to get the dishwasher deeper into the space. I've attached a photo showing the space in which the dishwasher needs to fit and also detail of the panel to the right of the dishwasher which fills the few cm gap between the right of the dishwasher and the kitchen wall. I figured an option might be to relocate the socket into that space but given that the socket is fed from the left and the controlling switch is some distance away, that would need extra cable to be joined on...
The wall behind the dishwasher and behind the panel on the right are both plasterboard, on a party wall behind and on an external wall to the right.
All fairly sensible suggestions will be welcome, if there's something I can do myself then that would be great!
Thanks in anticipation...
