    I have fitted dishwasher

    IKEA/Whirlpool DWF 416

    Need to get the fitted cabinet panel off the front to tighten up the handle fittings – can’t seem to find any screws or clips to achieve this.

    Any ideas ? Have download user manual – but not mentioned in there.

    It’s fixed using these…

    So presumably it lifts up the way and off.

    I’m still going to need to un-latch it somewhere – I’ve got a row of screws down the side of the inner door – at right angles to the door panel – which could presumably fix to a fastener at the other side – however none of them are long enough. There are also two hex screws on each side of the door – but they lie parallel to the front door panel – so I doubt that they are fixing it. Also I don’t have a driver that fits. The top screw on each side of the door allows the top control panel to slide up to allow access to the switches underneath it – but I don’t see any other fixings under there. Still stuck I’m afraid. Thanks for your help.

    Bets I can do is the blowout of the door, it’s so old the instructions aren’t even on the system.

    Thanks that’s really helpful. At least it’s telling me where not to look. Don’t suppose you have a higher res copy ?

    loosen the screws down the left and right hand side of the door. ( think its 2 and 4 that hold it ) don’t take them out just loosen them

    then outer door should push down and unlatch

    Unless it’s been stuck on with nonails adhesive or similar.
    I have come across this so many times where the installation instructions have been beyond the understanding of the fitter as it is all in diagram form with no words and they think “fe#k this” and glue it on.
