Before ordering: verify your dishwasher’s model number and serial number; confirm the panel size, mounting hole placement, finish (black), and that it aligns with your current base panel design.

If the cabinet front is scratched, bent or the mounting clips are damaged, consider inspecting the cabinet frame as well because simply replacing the panel may not fully restore alignment or finish.
