I am planning to remove all rear leveling legs in a BOSCH dishwasher to fit into a 33 1/2 space. Has anyone experienced issues with leaking or problems at the time to service the unit as a result of lowering to the ground? Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks!

The only "issue" is that the floor has to be level since you cannot adjust the dishwasher to level it.

You'd have to look at the bottom of the DW...without the feet, various parts may 'drag' on the floor when trying to slide it into place and it may not be possible to get it to sit flat. Other than that, it shouldn't be an issue if the floor is level. Some of the feet have resilient cushions which helps with vibration transmission. It might be noisier without them.

If you can shove it in there, chances are you can drag it back out. It's that lip that's a pain in the rear.
I was installing a d/w in a rental for someone. I had to jam a 2x4 under the edge of the countertop to wedge it up another quarter inch to drop the new machine into the hole. About that time the twelve year old son came home from school, took one step through the kitchen door, took one look at what I was doing and shouted "it's not going to go!" I bumped it with my knee and it dropped into place perfectly. Happiest moment of my professional life.
