Kenmore / Sears Dishwasher Panel Parts

This control panel is the front console that houses the oven/range user interface and provides a finished surface for the control buttons and display. It restores a clean, responsive control area and proper button access. What it does:

• Provides the front user interface for range/oven controls so buttons and display are mounted and protected
• Replaces cracked, warped, or cosmetically damaged panels that interfere with button operation
• Helps stop false or non-responsive button presses caused by worn or damaged overlays
• Restores a finished appearance to the appliance's control area

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the panel carefully to avoid scratching or bending; some panels include fragile bezels or clips
• Keep all screws and mounting clips removed during disassembly for correct reassembly
• If the panel interfaces with electronic modules or ribbon cables, disconnect those gently and note their routing before removal

This lower kickplate is the replacement trim panel that fits the front bottom of the appliance to restore appearance and protect components under the cabinet. It returns the unit to a finished, factory-style look. What it does:

• Covers the lower front opening to hide components and mounting hardware
• Helps block dirt and debris from entering the cavity beneath the appliance
• Restores cosmetic appearance when the original kickplate is dented, cracked, or missing
• Secures to the cabinet with factory fasteners to keep the front trim flush and stable

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair or service
• Installation typically requires removing screws or clips from the toe area; keep original fasteners if retrievable
• Handle edges carefully to avoid cuts; wear gloves if needed
