Front plate restores the appliance's front-facing cabinet, protecting internal components and improving appearance. It replaces cracked, dented or worn front trim so the appliance looks finished and covers internal parts. What it does:
- Covers and protects internal components behind the appliance's front cabinet.
- Restores cosmetic appearance when the existing front is dented, cracked, or scratched.
- Helps maintain proper fit and alignment of adjacent trim and access points.
- Reduces exposure of internal components to dust and incidental contact.
What's included: One front plate. Install notes:
- Always disconnect power (and water, if applicable) before beginning work.
- Removal typically requires removing fasteners, clips or adjacent trim panels—keep track of all screws.
- Handle carefully; edges may be sharp and panels can be awkward to position alone.
