Dishwasher under countertop termination

[finlirarn]

I am going to remove a 60-cabinet to install a dishwasher. But I wonder how I should anchor the sink.
See pictures from the front and top inside the cabinet. Can I put some screws in the wooden frame of the sink that are attached to the countertop on the left? Or will that be too weak?
The dishwasher takes up the entire width of the cabinet except for two millimeters. So there isn't much room for other solutions?
What do you think?

The dishwasher has 2 holes, one on each side; you attach one screw to the cabinet frame on the right and the other to the left. Place a piece of batten or something similar behind the cover panel if you need something to attach to. If the counter only rests on the frame against the wall, it might be good to place 2 wooden pieces underneath against the wall at the same height as the frame.

Hi Andy
Thanks for the reply, but I don't quite follow. What do you mean by "rests against the frame against the wall"? The sink is currently resting on the cabinet side that I need to remove. It is glued to a narrow countertop on the left. Can you explain again? Maybe draw a picture on a piece of paper, take a photo of it, and upload it?

If you drill through the frame and the countertop, you can use long heavy-duty screws that are driven into the wall.

Hi Andy
Thanks for the response but I'm not quite following. What do you mean by "rests against the frame against the wall"? The sink is currently resting on the cupboard side which I am going to remove.

You need to pull out the cupboard frame and see if the sink is attached or resting on something like behind the spacer. If it has just been lying on the cupboard frame, you should secure it in some way; otherwise, it might press on the top of the machine.

But as mentioned, start by loosening the cupboard frame and pulling it out.

Okay

Thanks for the answers, Andy and Danne. I have some ideas now.

There are a few different ways, a small wooden strip in the wall under the board, like lath, or fasten with an angle iron against the wall / spacer, it probably won't be any problem, but as mentioned, it's easier to see when you've pulled out the cabinet, usually just loosen the screws and pull it straight out. If you have legs underneath that you screw to adjust height, it makes it easier to screw them so the cabinet sinks down a bit from the countertop.

Feel free to attach an image when you've pulled out the stommen, it might be fun to see how it looks.
