Summit DW185SSADA cabinet opening requirements

Questions people ask about the DW185SSADA

The answers come only from the manufacturer documents linked on this page and the lookup's three outcomes.

What cabinet opening does the Summit DW185SSADA need?

The reviewed manufacturer document lists a minimum cabinet opening of 32 7/16 in high, 17 3/4 in wide and 22 1/2 in deep for the Summit DW185SSADA, with a maximum opening height of 34 7/16 in. Each figure links to its source in the table on this page. Its sources were reviewed on 2026-09-14.

Is the DW185SSADA a standard 18-inch dishwasher?

Summit places the DW185SSADA in the 18-inch category. That label describes the cabinet class, not the cutout: the reviewed minimum opening width is 17 3/4 in, and the appliance body is 17 1/2 in wide. Use the opening requirement, never the label, when you compare it with your cabinet.

Will the DW185SSADA fit my opening?

Only your measurements can answer that. Enter the opening's height, width and depth in the lookup; the DW185SSADA comes back as a dimensional candidate, an installer-review item or outside the published requirements. 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 DW185SSADA, and is that the opening height?

The manufacturer lists the DW185SSADA appliance body at 32 1/4 in high. The body height is not the opening requirement: the minimum opening height on record is 32 7/16 in and the maximum is 34 7/16 in. Measure from the finished floor to the counter underside at several points and use the smallest reading.

Why is the DW185SSADA held for installer review?

It carries installation notes from the review. The installation manual names DW185SSADA on its cover. Page 12 shows a 32 7/16–34 7/16-inch cavity, 17 3/4-inch width and 22 1/2-inch depth. The 32 9/32–34 9/32-inch range beside the appliance is body height, not cavity height. The product page rounds body dimensions differently. Published inch and metric labels are rounded differently. This screen uses the inch labels; borderline openings need installer confirmation. Front-door and corner clearances, maximum cavity width and local stock remain unverified. Keep hoses un-kinked in the adjoining cabinet and confirm mounting and utilities. The gate stays visible on this page until the evidence resolves.
