Hello Kathy, the outer door panel in stainless steel is part number 00683615 and the control panel comes in black and is part number 00680460. This shouldn't be too difficult if you are comfortable using a screwdriver, thanks!

Hello Sarah, for a stainless steel front door panel you can try part number 00689996. We cannot guarantee a fit since this panel was not originally listed with your model number, slight modification might be needed to make it fit. Thanks!

Patricia for Model Number SHX45p05UC/60

I bought dishwasher almost 7 years ago. About 5 yrs ago I started to notice rust on the front door panel. I cleaned the rust and continued to clean panel using cleaners for stainless steel appliances. Today As I was cleaning the kitchen the rust has expanded in such a way that it appears the panel isn't stainless steel. At least the quality is very poor at best. I bought all my appliances at same time. The dishwasher is the only Bosch. The other appliances are all stainless steel and are in perfect condition. I wonder if other buyers have had same experience?

Patricia, We haven't heard of a rust situation on door panels on a Bosch dishwasher. But you are correct, different manufacturers use different grades of stainless steel. This may be helpful " Stainless steel and the chromium oxide layer actually thrive on proper cleaning. For everyday cleaning of non-oxidized soils, dust, dirt and fingerprints, a mild soap/detergent (dish detergent) and warm water solution should be used. Use the solution to remove the soil, rinsing with fresh water and a clean cloth, and dry completely. Another alternative is to clean with a recommended stainless steel cleaner such as Cerama Bryte Stainless Steel Cleaner. Removal of oxidized stains and even “surface rust” can be done by using a paste made from baking soda and water or a cleaner that contains oxalic acid, such as Bar Keeper's Friend Soft Cleanser. " Once cleaned and dried, an occasional coat of spray on stainless steel cleaner and polish should help to disrupt the rust/oxidation. Someone reading the Q&A forum on the site may have more information and or a remedy other than the one mentioned. Thanks,
