This outer door panel replaces the front skin of the dishwasher door to restore appearance and protect internal components. It provides a finished exterior surface and supports trim, controls, and the inner door assembly. What it does:
- Replaces a dented, scratched, or corroded exterior door surface
- Restores a flush mounting surface for door trim, handles, and control overlays
- Helps prevent moisture and debris from reaching internal door parts
- Can reduce rattling or misalignment when the original outer panel is damaged
What's included:
Install notes:
- Handle with care to avoid scratching the finished surface; use soft padding during installation
- Disconnect power and water supply and remove the dishwasher from cabinetry per manufacturer instructions before replacing the door panel
- Keep fasteners and trim organized; some models require transfer of handles, insulation, and brackets from the old panel
