How to Replace the Door of a Bosch Dishwasher to Change the Color

Bosch dishwashers are designed with a detachable door panel that can be replaced with a different color to complement your kitchen decor. If you buy a new stove or refrigerator in another color, or you simply want to change the appearance of your dishwasher, the Bosch dishwasher door panel can be removed and replaced with common household tools. Door panel kits are available from Bosch, or you can buy them from a hardware or appliance store.

      Shut off the circuit breaker to the dishwasher. Although you will not come in contact with wiring inside the dishwasher, this is a standard safety procedure when you work on a high-voltage appliance.

    • 2

      Unlock the dishwasher door, and open it at a 45-degree angle.

    • 3

      Remove the screws in the trim plate on the left and right edges of the door. Pull off the left and right trim plates.

    • 4

      Slide out the old panel to the right, along the top and bottom door channels.

    • 5

      Peel off the protective plastic film on the new door panel, working from one corner to the opposite corner.

    • 6

      Insert the top and bottom edges of the new panel into the top and bottom channels on the right side of the door, and slide the panel into position, so it is centered over the door.

    • 7

      Screw on the left and right trim plates.

      Switch on the circuit breaker to restore power to the Bosch dishwasher.
