The Panel-Facia is an OEM component specifically designed for select Bosch dishwashers featuring full-paneled front doors. It serves as the outer enclosure protecting internal electronics and circuitry.
Premium high-gloss surfaces endure years of moisture exposure without dulling. Thick reinforced polymers guard valuables against accidental bumps or bashes from nearby foot traffic.
Causes for replacement typically relate to direct impact fractures exposing delicate insides to potential liquid intrusion. Prolonged harsh chemical contact may also lead to stress cracks developing over time.
Symptoms requiring a new panel-facia include:
- Loose fasteners allowing unwanted side-side movement or door misalignment
- Physical splits, punctures, or holes compromising the waterproof barrier
- Faded, scratched, or damaged finishes detracting from the modern aesthetic
This OEM Bosch replacement part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau, and selected full-paneled Kenmore dishwashers maintaining consistent appearances. Reinstallation preserves protection and attractiveness.
