How best to anchor a dishwasher?
by

I was told that my new dishwasher was installed, and ready to use. But i rapidly found out that the dishwasher was never anchored. The first time i opened the door, it skated all around on the Pergo flooring. And everytime since. I can't keep the door aligned with the surrounding cabinets. It's position changes with every door opening. I constantly have to realign it to be able to close the door and do a load of dishes. How best to fix?

Call whoever installed it and tell them about this. You paid for this to be installed and it should be done correctly.
I agree with Mogie. For your reference, here is how to install a dishwasher. I only paid once - (physically couldn't do it after a surgery), it is pretty simple and straight forward. At least you will be armed and educated in case they try and make excuses or lie their way out of an improper install. Knowledge is power, use it to your advantage for good.

I have never anchor mine down but maybe it is the surface of your floor that is the issue. Maybe try and add some rubber stoppers to the underneath of you machine to stop if from slipping around the floor.
