How to Remove the Front Panel From a GE Eterna Dishwasher

The General Electric Eterna line of dishwashers are under-the-counter models, the majority of which are no longer manufactured by the company due to fire hazards. The front of the dishwasher's door has a decorative panel, which is often constructed of heavy plastic. The panel is secured with several screws, and is removable for replacement, or if you are making repairs the internal components of the door, such as the soap dispenser.
