Custom door and access panels
IMPORTANT: Your door panel and access panel must have a
frame around the edges.
For custom door panels weighing less than 4 lbs (1.8 kg), use the
door springs that came with your dishwasher. For custom door
panels weighing more than 4 lbs (1.8 kg), you must use Heavy
Duty Spring Kit, Part Number 4318050. Maximum door panel
weight is 8 lbs (3.6 kg).
Dishwasher door panel and access panel (if model is so
equipped) can be customized to match wood cabinets. A
standard,
¹⁄₄" (6.4 mm) wood panel* can be used as is for
customizing the door and access panels. It is recommended that
a cabinetmaker cut the customized panel pieces because of the
precise dimensions needed.
■ Cut wood panels so that wood grain matches direction of
grain in cabinets.
■ File or sand edges of wood panels to avoid slivers.
■ Dishwasher is subject to some humidity. Apply moisture-
resistant sealer to both sides and edges of wood panels.
■ Cut door panel accurately for a snug fit between door side
frames.
