1172870014 Genuine Worktop Fixing Bracket for Electrolux Under Bench Dishwashers, Benchtop Mounting Bracket

Built-in and under bench dishwashers are held in their cavity by brackets that fix to the underside of the benchtop, and 1172870014 is a genuine Electrolux worktop fixing bracket for that job. If the original went missing during a kitchen renovation or a move, or its tab has bent or snapped, this replaces it. Check the number against your installation guide or parts list, as bracket styles vary.

Why your dishwasher needs its benchtop brackets

A dishwasher that isn't fixed to the benchtop can tip forward when the door is open and a loaded basket is pulled out, which is a real hazard with children around. It can also creep in the cavity, so the door rubs on cabinetry, the kickboard sits crooked, or hoses get pinched behind the machine. Loose dishwashers rock during the wash too, making noise and working hoses and fittings loose over time. If your dishwasher moves when you open it, check the worktop brackets first. One may be missing, bent or no longer screwed into the bench.

Fitting the worktop bracket

Switch the dishwasher off at the wall and turn off the water before sliding it out. Attach the bracket to the dishwasher in the position shown in your installation guide. Push the machine back, level it, then screw through the bracket into the benchtop using screws short enough not to break through the surface. Stone benchtops may need side fixing into the cabinets instead.
