Dishwasher Installation Question
The underside of our granite countertop is 35 1/8" from the floor. My new replacement dishwasher has a max height of 34 1/2". Do you recommend putting blocks underneath the wheels, or is that gap acceptable in your opinion? This dishwasher will probably be side mounted because of the granite.

Thanks for the quick reply. It's kind of ridiculous in my opinion that the legs don't go to 35".
The previous installer wasn't willing to side mount the replacement dishwasher like the previous unit because the holes were a different size or something. So he raised it as high as possible which caused the top brackets (which aren't screwed in since we have granite) to rub up against the door. So he removed the brackets and now the door glances the countertop, scuffing the top of the door near the controls. The bottom panel doesn't quite reach the floor at this height.
