Fully Integrated Dishwasher

[Cello]

I need to replace our slimline dishwasher that is built into the kitchen furniture. I am considering a Hotpoint LSTB 4B00 or a Whirlpool ADG211. My question is: what does "fully integrated" mean? I want to transfer the existing front from the existing machine to the new one. Is this always possible if I buy a "fully integrated" dishwasher or do some types come with a front that cannot be changed?

Fully integrated just means full height door. Some dishwashers have half doors with the controls above on show.

sorry you are incorrect, fully integrated dishwashers are ones that are capable of being hidden behind cabinet doors to match the kitchen

Thanks for the comments - but they don't really answer my question. If I buy either of the specified dishwashers, will I be able to change the front it comes with by the one (which is the same size) on my existing dishwasher?

Best to ask the manufacture that Q don`t you think?

Yes you will swap over your existing cupboard door, the new dishwasher will come with template on where to screw the door.
take your time, they can be tricky to align , but they are better than they used to be

My error, I thought he was talking about the door of the dishwashers not the cupboard door.
