Posti and Hakonen in the Helsinki metropolitan area offer dishwasher installation services. The service includes installing your new dishwasher, disconnecting the old one if needed, and ensuring all connections and power supply are properly set up. The installer will also unpack the new device and clean up the packaging waste. Please note that you need to have a safety tray in place before the installation, as the dishwasher cannot be installed without it.

What the Installation Service Covers

The dishwasher is installed in a prepared spot and leveled during the service. Water supply and drain hoses are connected to prevent pinching or wear from friction. The installer checks all connections to ensure there are no leaks. However, the service does not include drilling through fixed structures or furniture, nor does it involve any modifications to cabinets or countertops. The installer uses only the hoses provided with the dishwasher and does not connect to extension or old hoses.

Safety Tray Requirement

Insurance companies require a proper safety tray under the dishwasher. Installation will not proceed without one. You can order a correctly sized safety tray together with your dishwasher purchase.

Integrated Dishwasher Installation

If your dishwasher is an integrated model, Posti or a local installer will set it up for use. However, installing or removing the cabinet door is not part of the installation service. If you want the cabinet panel installed, Hakonen offers this as an additional paid service for 50 €, which you can arrange when booking the installation. Make sure the panel fits your dishwasher model.

Important Notes About Installation

The dishwasher must fit the designated space; otherwise, installation cannot be done. Installation is not possible if the installation spot is on a different floor level or if the power outlet is behind the dishwasher and inaccessible. Water and drain hoses must reach the connection points without sealed passages; any sealing compounds must be removed. Installation is not possible without a safety tray or if the tray is damaged. Also, dishwashers cannot be installed on old plumbing systems with angled drain connections.
