Is anyone aware of a current model dishawsher with this feature?
Replacement situation.
Thanks in advance,
tomRe: pannellable dishwasher door
Can you give a little more info please Tom?
Is it a thin 2mm panel which used to be called a decor panel?
Or a solid door same as kitchen units? If this is the case, you can get dishwashers where you see the control panel ( semi integrated ) or full length (fully integrated) controls on top leading edge.
Lastly slimline 45cm wide or full size 60cm wide.

Thanks for your reply Don.
60 cm with 3mm panel; as you say, referred to as a Decor Panel.

I was afraid you were going to say that as a direct replacement is no longer produced.
The only one I can find is Miele G2040 which is classed as an undercounter machine, supplied without worktop and plinth. Adjustable height from 83.7 to 88.7cm (wind out legs to fit directly under bottom of worktop and add a section of matching plinth 😉 ). Will take up to 4mm decor panel. Price circa £470 😯 .
Or replace with and integrated or freestanding machine 😉

Re: pannellable dishwasher door
Years ago, the company I used to work for did large quantities of ‘X’ grade dishwashers, some damaged on the front door panel. We would fit a decor panel (then Formica) to the door using aluminium angle readily available from B&Q.
Firstly, this only works on a flat dishwasher door.
Take the dishwasher outer door panel off, cut the decor panel to size (less 3mm WxH). Fix in position with double sided tape.
Then measure the angle starting at the underside of the facia. Plot where the corner bends will be and aim to get the final join down at the bottom in the centre of the door. At the corners, mark where the bend should be and using a square file on its edge, cut an even ‘V’ shape through the smaller lip of the angle down as far as it will go. Then put a junior hacksaw in the ‘V’ and make a shallow cut to ease bending. When bent, the ‘V’ cut should close up to a near perfect corner.
Do the same for the other angles, cut off any excess length, drill your mounting holes and screw the angle to the door around the panel.Hope this helps; we did loads and they looked really good (and all sold)!!!
🙂Steve.
