Quartz countertop is very hot after running dishwasher

Quartz countertop is very hot after running dishwasher
Posted On: June 19, 2023

I had flooring installed and the flooring guys removed and put back the dishwasher.


Not sure if they didn't do it correctly or what, but my countertop above the dishwasher gets a lot hotter than it used to get.


And it doesn't cool off fast after the dishwasher is done.


They seemed to have installed the dishwasher about half an inch higher off the ground than it had been.


Not sure if that makes a difference but it's super close up near the countertop now instead of having some space there.


What can be causing this issue?


Question from user Appropriate_Half7881 at Appliances at reddit.


Answer:


DW usually have a blanket of insulation on them in a U shape.


it's more for sound insulation but it should block some heat.


They can get torn or dislodged.


You mentioned it's up higher now.


Do you know or can you ask if they indeed, removed that insulation?


On the other hand, it's not terribly bad, but yes,I understand your concern.
