Many dishwashers are supposed to be wood-screwed into the surrounding cabinets! Recently installed one for a friend and was surprised to see that instruction.

Meanwhile, with the exception of ice makers/water dispensers (1/4 PEX), fridges don't have to deal with hoses for the most part. So much easier IME.

That's so they don't tip forward when a rack loaded with dishes is pulled out. There's a fair bit of forward leverage in that weight distribution.


Hum. The countertop will prevent that. No need to be screwed.


A lot of fridges in Europe are integrated into the kitchen cabinets, similar to dishwashers.

So I'd say they face the same kind of issues.
