Bosch SHX78CM5N cabinet opening requirements
Manufacturer-sourced opening requirements and body dimensions for the Bosch SHX78CM5N, with the record's status in the lookup. Every figure links to the document it was read from; “Not verified” means no document established it.

Questions people ask about the SHX78CM5N
The answers come only from the manufacturer documents linked on this page and the lookup's three outcomes.
What cabinet opening does the Bosch SHX78CM5N need?
The reviewed manufacturer document lists a minimum cabinet opening of 33 7/8 in high, 24 in wide and 24 in deep for the Bosch SHX78CM5N. Each figure links to its source in the table on this page. This record is held for installer review, so the lookup never returns it as an automatic candidate.
Is the SHX78CM5N a standard 24-inch dishwasher?
Bosch places the SHX78CM5N in the 24-inch category. That label describes the cabinet class, not the cutout: the reviewed minimum opening width is 24 in, and the appliance body is 23 9/16 in wide. Use the opening requirement, never the label, when you compare it with your cabinet.
Will the SHX78CM5N fit my opening?
Only your measurements can answer that. Enter the opening's height, width and depth in the lookup; the SHX78CM5N comes back as a dimensional candidate, an installer-review item or outside the published requirements, and because this record is held for installer review it never appears as an automatic candidate. None of the three outcomes is a fit guarantee: mounting, utilities, floor level, trim, panel weight and door swing stay with the installer.
How tall is the SHX78CM5N, and is that the opening height?
The manufacturer lists the SHX78CM5N appliance body at 33 7/8 in high. The body height is not the opening requirement: the minimum opening height on record is 33 7/8 in. Measure from the finished floor to the counter underside at several points and use the smallest reading.
Why is the SHX78CM5N held for installer review?
It carries a blocking review gate: Candidate requires installer review of site conditions, utilities, panel or drawer clearance; do not enable automatic fit from this research batch. Width uses stricter 24-inch required-cutout table; the drawing separately permits 23 5/8 to 24 1/4 inches. Body maximum height is not asserted as opening maximum. The gate stays visible on this page until the evidence resolves.
Does the SHX78CM5N have a smaller published cutout?
Yes. The published drawing also shows a width range of 23 5/8 in to 24 1/4 in. Published drawing range; 24-inch table width retained as conservative reviewed requirement. Smaller widths remain installer review only. The lookup screens on the stricter published value; the smaller configuration stays an installer-review result, never an automatic match.
