I've just bought an Indesit IWDC6143, and without ever having a CLUE that my worktop might be too low, I've found that the worktop is a smidge too low (technical measurement!). Just rung Indesit, and spoken to Amy from the Spare Parts Team. She's advised me that they only do height reduction kits for washing machines that start with product code WMA; apparently they're quite old appliances now too. Ho-hum, back to the jack-it-up/plane-some-worktop-off school of thought! Hello Washer Help users…

After much research I've discovered that Zanussi make a height reduction plate for a lot of their machines. This takes 3-5 cm off the top. I've ordered a Zanussi zwd14581 washer dryer and the zanussi parts helpline is charging £66 including VAT and delivery for the height reduction kit (part number 20292669004). Apparently they make plates for a lot of their machine, but it's only possible to find out which ones if you call with the model number you are reqursting and speak to customer care. (08705 727727). It's taken 3 days to find all this out so hopefully this will be useful to someone! I have exactly this problem- my counter height is 84 cm which means no convential machine will fit under it.
