Replace front panel in 3 steps
These 3 steps are general instructions. The number of steps or order can be different for your built-in dishwasher. That's why you should always use the included manual and use this article as guideline.
- Step 1. Remove the old front panel
- Step 2. Mark the drill holes
- Step 3. Attach the front panel
Step 1: remove the old front panel
Step 2: mark the drill holes
Before you start drilling, you first mark the right position for the holes. You can check where these holes should be in the assembly manual or on the website of the manufacturer. Don't have a manual? Check the old front panel and measure out with a ruler where the drill holes are. Make sure you don't drill too deep. That way, you make sure you don't drill through the panel.
Step 3: attach your front panel
Next, you attach the front panel to the inside of the dishwasher door with screws. In most cases, you can hang the panel on the door and fasten it with the screws. Check if the front panel is securely firmly attached by opening the dishwasher door a couple of times. Does the door open and close all the way? That means you've attached the front panel correctly.
