Q: QuestionWhere do we get the panel?

Asked 4 years ago by Nikki.

• A:Answer We ordered our panel online at cabinetdoormart.com ... We just matched the style to our cabinets and measured our existing dishwasher for dimensions. Our panel is 3/4 inch thick, 30 inch high and 23 5/8 wide. We will have to paint it white to match the cabinets and also don't forget to purchase a handle to install. YouTube has very clear videos on how to install the custom panel. Hope this helps!

Q: QuestionWe are replacing our old Bosch with this new model and have our own panel, does the installation of the dish washer includes installing the old panel?!?

Asked 5 years ago by Lani.

• A:Answer Basic installation does not include installing the panel. I was able to get free basic installation due to a sales promotion. Then, I paid $99 to have the panel installed. I think that was worth it.

Q: QuestionHow does the door stay open? The closing spring on the door is strong and does not allow the door to remain open, closing it even if all the way open. I'm hoping there is a way the have the door stay open? Thanks

Asked 5 years ago by HueG.

• A:Answer Hello, once you attach the custom panel door to the front, the weight of that allows it to open and it feels like a normal dishwasher. We thought it was installed wrong, but once we attached the custom panel, it worked great.

Q: QuestionDoes the dishwasher come with the handle hardware? I ordered a custom panel (from my cabinet maker) but am confused as to whether I need to purchase a handle to mount to the panel or if that arrives in the hardware kit to mount the panel.

Asked 6 years ago by louis.

• A:Answer The handle needs to come with the cabinet panel. The dishwasher only comes with a template and hardware to mount the panel to the front of the dishwasher.

Q: QuestionHow much extra is the custom panel and what style options does it come in? Is it paintable and can the door handle be switched out to match the rest of the cabinet bar pulls?

Asked 7 years ago by Soundview.

• A:Answer Neither Best Buy nor Bosch offers the custom panel, which must be obtained elsewhere. [The Best Buy salesman advised us incorrectly about this, indicating that the panel could be obtained through Best Buy and/or Bosch.] The dishwasher is supposed to come with a hardware kit for attaching the panel to the machine, once you get a custom panel made elsewhere to the correct specifications. As explained in my review, Best Buy never succeeded in getting to us the specifications, hardware and installation instructions for the custom panel, and we ultimately had to return the dishwasher, which we may end up buying from another retailer.
