Pull size for paneled dishwasher?

11 years ago

For a standard 24" dishwasher, would you go with an 8" or an 18" pull? These are the only larger sizes available to match our cabinet pulls.

If you are using all 8 inch pulls elsewhere I think I would use the 8 inch on the dishwasher. I used various size pulls in my kitchen. The picture below shows a 19 inch pull on a 36 inch drawer. It might give you an idea of how big an 18 inch pull would look. I think it might look too big on a 24 inch dishwasher. I used a 13 inch pull on my paneled dishwasher. There have been some other discussions on this forum regarding pulls on dishwashers. You might might try a google search to see what others have done. I think the consensus is that any size will work even a knob or cup pull. So go with what you like.

Thanks, badgergal. All the other pulls are only 4 3/8. I was looking at the 18" for one reason only - a place to hang the dish towel!

I would go with the 18" on the DW. I think it would look more in scale, plus like you say, you can hang a towel on it...

Eight inch pulls are on all the drawers so I kept the same size for the DW. It works well visually and functionally. However, I don't like to see towels hanging on large drawer pulls.

oasis: only if you're interested in the Amerock Candler line, Amazon has the 18" pulls for only $15.96 (in satin nickel). Nope, that wasn't a typo! I bought 7 myself to use as drawer pulls on my two 36" stacks plus 30" wide drawer beneath the wall oven (still wondering where the lunatic in me came from to make such a purchase, but I couldn't pass them up!). They're selling for upwards of $95 everywhere else.

The measure 18" center-to-center, with 21' overall length.
