How to Remove the Front Panel From the Magic Chef DU2J

When you notice any problem with the controls, door latch or detergent dispenser on your Magic Chef DU2J dishwasher, then you must know how to properly remove the front door panel to access the other parts. It can be especially helpful to know how to remove the front panel if the door will not shut all the way or if there is damage to the front side of the door and the panel needs to be replaced.
