Bosch 00689412 Outer Door OEM Part

Very smooth. I ordered the door and the control panel. It is helpful to have an extra set of hands when removing the screws from the door or place something under it so it doesn’t drop. The door comes off with about 10 screws. They are different length. Short screws go into steel, long go into plastic. Remove the door and upper facia/control panel. You’ll need to disconnect the wires. The panel has two parts that need to be transferred. 1. The electronic panel. It’s white and has a row of plastic retaining clips molded into the facia. They release with very light pressure using a small screw driver. Start at one end and work your way across. Transfer it to the new facia. 2. There is a door handle that clips into the facia. I didn’t notice it, reassembled the whole thing and then my wife asked why it was so rough. I got to do it again. It also snaps out with a couple molded clips and light pressure. Swapped it and then reassemble the whole thing. One additional item. The SS panel had plastic protection on it. I peeled enough of it away from the sides so it would be easy to remove after assembly. Very happy with the results, all the parts were packaged well and arrived in excellent condition. One more thing. I chatted with a representative when I was ordering the parts. He was outstanding. Not only did he find the parts, help me confirm I had the right dishwasher, he also placed the order and suggested some additional items that helped. I normally don’t bother with chat. I’m an IT guy so I expect it’s a bot or someone supremely incompetent on the other end. Your guy was fantastic. Please let him know. Wayne.

Ordered part and did it myself in about 15 minutes.

Using our model number we located the part’s on AppliancePartsPros website. Then we called to make sure we had the SS part number and your staff adjusted our order to make certain we got the Stainless Steel front door panel. The info on the site provided was not for our exact model but we did learn plenty before starting. I strongly suggest you have a helper as you work through the process. Everything fit together with precision. These are well-engineered dishwashers and we are very happy with the new look. We are changing all our appliances to Bosch Stainless Steel. I strongly recommend AppliancePartsPros for informative videos and fantastic parts.

Earlier comments and video's on Bosch dishwasher were very helpful. My Bosch model was not captured in a video. There are important differences so recommend taking a few pictures/video of your model wiring and connection points before full disassembly. There was a learning curve. Thanks

I sent a request to the Appliance Parts Pros with the model number of my dishwasher and they provided all of the part numbers. I had contacted a local appliance parts company, and they told me that my model number did not have a stainless steel option. I am so glad I contacted Appliance Parts Pros! I decided to order only the door panel portion, and to leave the facia and control buttons black, since they receive a lot of hand touches and might leave a lot of finger prints. I received the door panel portion in 2 days as they said. I watched a video on youtube and was able to change the door panel out in about 5 minutes. It fit marvelously! Thank you Appliance Part Pros - you saved me a ton of money as I did not have to buy a new dishwasher!
